As luck would have it, Boston Omaha (BOC) released its quarterly earnings about an hour after I posted this articleNo surprises on the financial front, book value is essentially unchanged at about $17 as of March 31, with the most meaningful change on [...]

Good point. The internet has certainly helped with some solid online dealers... but it's also true that there are very few physical coin dealers left, so those who really like to deal in cash and keep it genuinely private are increasingly out of luck.[...]

Could be, I own some of both. What worries me is that most of the time Bitcoin actually trades like a 3X levered ETF on the Nasdaq 100... much better growth in price than gold over pretty much any timeframe, of course, but also only a couple decades of hi[...]

Thanks... fingers crossed that we won't need the insurance, but I agree that it helps calm the mind a bit.[...]

Hopefully we won't have the kind of dystopian outcome that would bring that distinction between collectible and bullion coins.And just FYI, even the good ol' American Eagle coin has a face value of only $50 these days, so not much more dramatic than [...]

All I see is a disappointing quarter and some forward guidance below what analysts were expecting. When you're small and dependent on growth, that's enough to give the stock a pantsing.I'll give it another read now that the dust has settled.[...]

Would have written a shorter article if I had more time. Thanks for your patience.[...]

It's still a pretty lousy business, but seems to be stabilizing.A delisting wouldn't specifically matter to the preferred shares, from what I can tell, but could certainly impact sentiment. The bigger issue is whether the company will be in stable eno[...]

Investment income is essentially the dividends and T-bills... the rise or fall of portfolio value isn't in the operating earnings.And you don't have to be a shareholder to watch... just to get in the building :)[...]

Looks like Rozek also got instantly bought out, at a fat premium. Ugh. And he was the one of the two I've spoken with, and was more comfortable with.Peterson talked about essentially pulling back from growth or acquisitions and giving the business[...]

It changes my thinking about the way BOC works, and it was a very big surprise.Will sit on this for a little, and see how the remaining CEO talks about it -- they each control big chunks of the shares.[...]

Good perspective, thanks.[...]

Great feedback, thanks![...]

Hope it works out for you![...]

Haven't seen any new ads from them recently, but they've been selling an "AI Disruption Playbook" for years n[...]

What do you like about KOPN? See some growth emerging from their defense business, perhaps?Altucher flogged that one like crazy with some very misleading promises that it would be involved with the Apple VisionPro. Don't know if he has given up on that [...]

Rough start for DV -- mild miss on this first earnings report since I bought, and a more significant reduction in the forecasted revenue for 2024.Not cataclysmic, no sign the business is fundamentally broken, but a rough beginning for this one in the[...]

Thanks Stacy![...]

He said they were doing some work on a potential acquisition in Canada. The big private ones are mostly in ag or energy to one degree or another, and he doesn't like bidding wars for public companies... but you never know.[...]

I think that was the pitch for selling puts and covered calls, no? Eifrig has been doing that for a decade or so.[...]
