Buffett likes to keep the main office bare bones and have the existing management continue to run the operations of acquisitions. I think that Jim Clayton’s son (Kevin) still runs Clayton Homes for BRK.

Jimmy Haslam seems to be more focused on running his sports business. Pilot has been hiring out of family management for a while. James Sr still hits the Pilot office early every day despite being about 92 years old. Close to Warren’s age. Mere children relative to Charlie Munger (99 years old).

If I was Warren, I would take one look at Cleveland Browns and take a hard pass on dealing with Jimmy. But, I guess the rest of them are ok. Amazing that James, Sr is continuing to do that at age 92. I actually enjoy stopping at Pilot when given the opportunity.

If you haven't been, that new Buc-ee's in Crossville is something special. Like a Disney World truck stop with a Cracker Barrell gift shop attached. Wish they were a public company.

NVAX, Did this drug company ever have a product? They were going to have a combination flu and covid vaccine. They promised the world over and over. Bigger and better.
It looks like they will be out of biz soon.

My current big picture view is that the market will be going sideways for a while. No big gains to be made either direction, unless you're good picking individual companies.

I could be wrong.

They had this CEO named Stan. He was one of the biggest losers for that level that I have ever seen.

Wish I had shorted Stan three years ago.

NVAX = No Vaccine products

Anyone familiar with FIGS?

Upscale scrubs company with direct sales to hipster medical professionals. My wife and rock star niece love their gear.

The stock is offering a 25% discount today after shaky earnings report.

Small money, but I’m in CELH and ACLS.

Both have been quite the roller coaster today. Thinking that it will continue for next two hours.

Probably those clever WallStreetBets (???) guys
