MONDAY AGAIN. I AM DISABLED AND JUST STARTED TRADING FOR A HOBBY, IT KEEPS MY BRAIN SHARP; AT LEAST I THINK THAT. SOME DAYS, I'M IN FRONT OF MY COMPUTER; SOMETIMES 18-24HRS /DAY. I TRIPED OVER WHITE MOUNTAIN ABOUT SIX OR SEVEN MONTHS; I NEVER HEARD OF A STOCE WORTH $ 500.00 TO 750.00. I DUTIFULLY WROTE THIS DOWN, AND PROMPTLY FORGOT IT. THAT IS PART OF MY DISABILITIES. I SKIDDED OUT ON WET LEAVES AT 70 M.P.H.IN OCTOBER 87' AND HIT A TREE. THE LEAVES WERE LIKE ICE, AND IT WAS 02:00. I WAS RESCUED BY POLICE ( a state trooper was on his way to troop K barracks.) It was 2 am, and i was DOA, BUT THEY REVIVED ME AND I SPENT THE NEXT THREE MONTHS, KEPT CHEMICALLY UNCONSCIOUS IN ICU. THIS HAS VERY MUCH TO DO WITH MY SHORT TERM MEMORY. YOU CAN'T BE A WORKING ENGINEER IN AN OPERATING NUCLEAR PLANT, EVEN IF YOU SWEAR YOU CAN STILL DO IT. WITH YOUR MIND IN PIECES WITH THE REST OF ME. I STILL GO TO FOUR DOCTORS A MONTH. O.K. ENOUGH OF THAT CRAP. SO BUFFETT, GATES, BERKSHIRE HATHAWAY AND WHITE MOUNTAIN, I QUICKLY FORGOT THEM ALL THE NEXT DAY. I DON'T HAVE A PORTFOLIO ANYWAY. I CAN ONLY BUY 3 SHARES OF BERKSHIRE ANYWAY. BUT I TRIPPED OVER IT IN A GLOBAL SEARCH OF MY GOOGLE DATABASE. THEN IN AN HOUR OR SO I REMEMBERED. BUFFETT LED TO GATES, THEY LED TO INSURANCE, AND FINALLY REMEMBERED THE SYMBOL. WTM. SO WHEN I MAKE MY FIRST MILLION, I AM STILL A WORKAHOLIC, I'LL BUY SOME BERKSHIRE, OR WHITE MOUNTAIN. I WILL NOW BUY 1 SHARE OF EACH - AND SOME OF THE EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT, INFORMATIVE E-MAIL I HAVE EVER READ. I AM ACTUALLY EXCITED. EVEN I IF CAN ONLY STUMBLE ABOUT, MY BODY HAD LITERALLY EVERY BONE BROKEN, THE LEGS BOTH CRUSHED. BUT THIS SITE IS LIKE A ROSSETTA STONE. I HAVE REAL GOALS NOW, BESIDES DAY TRADING PENNY STOCKS OR IPO'S, ETC.,ETC.. I WANT TO OWN EVEN 1 OR 2 SHARES OF ALL OF THESE STOCK SYMBOLS. I'M GOING TO PRINT IT OUT AND TAPE IT, NAH - WIFE DOESN'T LIKE TAPE ON OUR WALLS. AND I'LL KEEP AT IT UNTIL I OWN EVEN ONLY 1-2 SHARES OF THESE STOCKS. YOU'VE UNWITTINGLY GIVEN ME ANOTHER ATTAINABLE GOAL. I'VE ALREADY TAKEN $ 1,000 ( MY MOTHER, GOD REST HER SOUL, WOULD BE ROLLING IH HER GRAVE IF SHE EVER KNEW I WAS INVESTING IN STOCKS. SHE GREW UP WITH A DEPRESSION MENTALITY, SHE WAS TEH YEARS OLD WHEN THE DEPRESSION HIT. I HAD NO LEGAL FATHER, THEY WERE LEGALLY SEPARATED IN FEB 53', ONE WEEK BEFORE MY SECOND BIRTHDAY. I DON'T EVEN REMEMBER, BUT I THINK I REMEMBER THE FUNERAL LIMO. NEITHER DID MY 14 YR. OLDER UNCLE, KNOW HIS FATHER. ) O.K. ENOUGH OF THIS BULL. I'M GOING TO TAKE THIS E-MAIL, PRINT IT OUT, AND TAPE IT TO MY WALL BY MY COMPUTER SPACE. I REALLY HATE HASSLES. MY WIFE IS ACTUALLY A SAINT. I COULD NOT LIVE WITHOUT HER. SHE COOKS, SHE SHOPS, SHE HELPS ME BATHE, ETC., AND SHE DOESN'T LIKE TAPE ON OUR WALLS !! THANKS FOR INFORMING ME WHILE LETTING ME VENT. AND DON'T PRAY FOR THINGS, LIKE NOT HAVING TO GO TO WORK EVERY DAY, AND I ONLY WORKED FOUR DAYS A WEEK ANYWAY. 5 WEEKS VACATION, ALL TAKEN 1 DAY PER WEEK ON WEDNESDAYS, 13 PAID HOLIDAYS. IF YOU ONLY,PLUS A PERSONAL DAY, AND FOR 48 WEEKS YOU WORKED OVERTIME ON HOLIDAYS, YOU COULD EARN A TIDY SUM. DON'T PRAY FOR SOMETHINGS, THEY MIGHT REALLY GET ANSWERED.

If their management is so strong why did Jack Byrne have to be pulled out of retirement twice to get the company back on track? Why all the buying and selling of shares at, shall we say, convenient times? I like your picks but I have reservations about WTM (a company I have long admired).
