The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

fintel.io - Fairfax financial holdings ltd can Must be outdated as it’s listing BB as 11.6% of portfolio.
Thank for correcting my mistake.
Grateful Always,
paul


It is not outdated- it is correct that BB represents 11.6% of Fairfax’s holdings of public companies traded on US exchanges. But as your link indicates at the top, these have a total value of $1.469b, whereas Fairfax has total equity investments (including international equities) of $18b and total investments (including fixed income) of about $60b, so there is no contradiction.
