Stock price when the opinion was issued
(A Top Pick Sept 13/13. Down 7.9%.) A conglomerate referred to as the mini Berkshire Hathaway. It has insurance, pipelines, offshore oil drilling, etc. Hasn’t done well this last year, primarily because things like insurance have had some write-offs. Also, oil drilling has not been an area that has been in favour. Also, took a big write-down on some of the oil/gas acreage which they bought. However, BV continues to increase fairly steadily.
The mini Berkshire Hathaway with a lot of the same things. But it also has offshore drilling, pipelines, oil/gas and hotels. Sells at a discount to the sum of the parts. Yield of 0.54%.
