Happy New Year. I've been lurking and enjoying this board for years. First heard of WEB in college nearly 25 years ago reading Train's "Money Masters" for an investment analysis class. I've been a BRK holder for nearly 7 years. Never sold a share, but added many during bubble mania in 99-00, and other times BRK has dropped steeply for no good reason.
My lovely, loving wife has an MBA from a top 10 business school. Notwithstanding that (or because of it?)in fall of 99, she was adamant about ditching BRK for things like JDSU, ARBA, etc. For XMas,
I gave her a romantic weekend in Omaha for the next annual meeting. I figured six hours or so of listening to WEB and CTM (not to mention Borsheim's reception!)ought to cure her. Heard Charlie's immortal "raisins in turds" line live and in person. Anyway, no more talk of JDSU and its ilk has been heard since (although I've heard a bit lately about the stock price this year not matching indexes--perhaps another pilgrimmage to Omaha needed).Looking forward to another "banner year", in which it would not surprise me if price hit 100 at some point. My kids can't wait, as they know they get an extra Blizzard that night! Best of luck to all for '04.
