Q: Hi 5I,
How would a small investor get in to Private equities. This only seems possible for High Net Worth Clients. Is there good Publicly traded company's or ETF's that focus on Private equities. Is this a type of asset class that is recommended to diversify your portofolio.
Thank you

Q: Hi Peter, Prem is certainly a smart cookie, but what does he see in Torstar that makes him such a fan ? Thanks, Paul
Q: This is not a question but a guide to the entire history of FFH, which answers on the questions today. It's published in the annual report every year where the Dec. 31 book value and share value are compared. The reader should note he trend in the book value, in particular. Also Watsa's comments over and over are that book value and share value will not necessarily follow each other. I am a long term holder of FFH, sold out at $600 purely to buy a house and then by pure blind luck (not skills) I had the opportunity to by back in with ACB of $175 a couple of years later!

Q: No question here, but my comment on FFH. I owned FFH In the 80’s. I recall the stock trading at 600.00. Please correct me if I am wrong. It is now 600.00 plus. How Prem Watsa can be compared to Buffet is like my golf game being compared to Tiger Woods. Watsa makes big bets against the market which on balance I would think have been horrible , to be stand corrected.
What am I missing??

Q: I have often wondered why a large diversified company like Fairfax gets almost no analyst coverage? No buy/sell recommendations (except for 5i) and even Thompson Reuters can't give it a score? Is it simply too much work to figure out what Prem is up to?
Q: Hi Guys,
Do you have a current opinion on FFH?
Is the current price of $657 a good entry point?Would it fit into a conservative portfolio as part of the financial area?
Thanks for the help.

Q: Hi Team,
Would you kindly comment on Fairfax's announced sale of Singaporean insurer First Capital Insurance Ltd. for US $1.6B and it's ongoing strategic alliance with Japan’s Mitsui Sumitomo Insurance Co.

Q: "oK" is not exactly a ringing endorsement for SLF. Is there another name in the space, other than MFC, that you think is a better hold for a conservative investor, or should I just hang in there? thanks,
