    Watched the yahoo stream of the BH meeting from the comfort of my couch. Warren was informative as usual. He seems to enjoy explaining how to be a good investor irregardless of the question asked.
    One cannot discount Charlie Munger’s spunk at 91 and his acerbic wit, My favorite line was when he said our competition pretends they are environmentalists. The very idea that these two men are shepherds of the truth is outstanding . I am impressed with Charlie’s ability to down a box of See’s peanut brittle in it’s entirety.
    What a great business school are these two? The lessons flow quickly and without much ado. My biggest takeaway is that it is a good idea to make all business relationships a win-win, whether you are dealing with a sale to a customer or a purchase from a supplier. The BH boys feel like it builds good will to pay supplier’s in a timely manner.
    No wonder the original $19 dollar share are worth in excess of $200K.
    Thanks for sharing your initial response to the meeting. I look forward to hearing more of your musings on the annual event.

    I’d be interested to hear more of your thoughts about Grenville Strategic Royalty. This is the first I’ve heard of it, but after reading their most recent earnings, it sounds like they’ve got a decent thing going on. I see you’ve put them next to AAPL in your discussion, so what’re your thoughts and feelings on GRVFF?
