On What's "Black Lithium"... and can it "Save the EV Industry?"

I dunno much about this subject. So, take my comments with a grain of salt, but I read somewhere that one of the Berkshire Hathway companies is working on producing Lithium from brine in the Salton Sea region of California. I would not bet against them. O[...]

On Friday File: Buying a Dinosaur

I still like American Tower for their ownership of CoreSite data centers. Pretty small potatoes, but one of the best when they bought it. I think it will prove to be a great strategic move, but might take a while.[...]

On "Buy Now" Trigger from Cabot Turnaround Letter -- Out-of-Favor Retailer with a New CEO?

I live in Omaha: There is a Duluth Trading store about a mile from where I live. Two of my Sons-In -Law do not buy clothes anywhere else. The store is one of the few where I enjoy shopping. I'll probably buy Christmas presents there including some for [...]

On "This Stock LOVES the Fed Rate Hikes" -- what's Melvin's "The Perfect Dividend Stock?"

Travis is right. Banks or S&Ls cannot lend more than their deposits. In fact, they have to maintain a minimum percentage of cash and government bond reserves. when I was a banker, the required reserves were around 23% of deposits. it's pretty easy to figu[...]

On "This Stock LOVES the Fed Rate Hikes" -- what's Melvin's "The Perfect Dividend Stock?"

This is a strange one where the managing family owns a substantial portion of the public stock. I owned some for a while and it paid a good dividend, but I think that sooner or later the "mutual" owners (depositors) or regulators will want more into reserv[...]

On Contrarian's "#1 Income Play for 2021"

In response to Albert: I assume the decline is due to extra excitement when the original newsletter was published, and now that the bloom is off that rose, interest has waned. That and the fact that dividends won't be paid again - if ever - until someti[...]
