Q: I just replaced a furnace fully aware that I was probably paying more for the name “Lennox” . Carrier is part of a conglomerate, but Lennox seems to be its own name... I see that it typically advances in Q4 ... nobody talks about it / would this be a decent company to invest in ?

Q: Google is trading close to January 2018 levels. Amazon is above March 2018 values but not dramatically. How much better are these companies then 20 and 17 months ago respectively on key metrics?
Are they as good a bet as you are going to get to beat the S&P 500 over the next 5 to 10 years? (I know a lot can happen over that time frame, but that is the same with every company)

Q: There has been an industrial fire at a lubrizol site in France. It has been catastrophical with a potential liability in the many billions, when people will find the deep pockets behind lubrizol, they are likely to push forward their claims with vigor. Lubrizol is a 100% owned berkshire subsidiary. I cannot find any references to it in our north american news channels.
I hope lubrizol has some liability insurance, and i hope not with their parent company. Have you had access to any news on this.
Thank you.
