If they would produce cat antibodies, we could all purr.

Dacian - not a sign of weakness at all. Perfectly sensible approach from T Smith. I was just pointing out to APAD that his dislike for Buffett and admiration for Smith was a little illogical :)

Added to that any dip im adding big - wonderful opportunity

[panic investor] 15/10/2017 18:26

Looking for the same Dacian - interesting company to say the least

From the RNS on BVXP's website:

Notice of Results

The audited accounts for the year ended 30 June 2017 are due to be released on Monday 16 October 2017. We will comment on the revenues in more detail at this time.



The share price weakened a touch over the last couple of trading days before the accounts are due, so perhaps it will be business as usual after results? Not sure there will be any profit taking as there probably would have been if BVXP had just been going up and up without a breather and were currently at a all time high.

Must be taken out eventually

BVXP was my largest holding until ZOO corrected to a more appropriate value. It's still number two by a mile.

[panic investor] 14/10/2017 20:24

Monday or Tuesday apad? Hopefully good

Forgive my tongue-in-cheek teases, folks.
I'm a natural born iconoclast.
I even think Churchill was a drunken fraud. Oops!

Maybe it's pre-BVXP angst:-)

Just 'rookie dreaming'.

It's fashionable to knock Buffett - I've read a couple of articles on it and one gets the impression the writers are doing it because they think it might be 'original' - they don't really care about facts. It's all a bit embarrassing.

[thelongandtheshortandthetall] 14/10/2017 18:46

Saying he has doubled the returns of the s&p doesnt at first glance do his record justice. The compounding effect of those doubles is rediculous.

You cant knock buffett really. He is one of the best operators ever.
I imagine one day berkshire will make more profit in a year than any other company. Perhaps after warren has left the driving seat. But none the less incredible.
The stats of what he has acheived are amazing.
Not hero worship just credit where credit is due.

[hydrus] 14/10/2017 18:35

lol that's very poor analysis - obviously if you are managing $400bn (as he has been in recent years) it's much harder to generate a good return. Again confirmation bias. Keep googling though lol Only relevant fact is he has achieved double the S and P returns over 50 years. During much of that period he had a massive disadvantage as it's hard to achieve high returns when you have a huge capital base. There are much less investments to choose from.

Nice one, H :-)

'Fidelity - Market & InsightsAUGUST 27 2015In this interview between Terry Smith and Maike Currie, Terry speaks about Warren Buffett's approach to investment and how he has used these principals in his investment strategy.'No genuine original thinking APAD, He copies Buffett. So really you actually do like Buffett I'm afraid :)

[panic investor] 14/10/2017 18:13

Acso will fly from here - moat stock now !

[hydrus] 14/10/2017 18:06

lol APAD give it up. Picking up on occasional errors and ignoring the overall track record - I'm afraid you succumb to confirmation bias.....

[apad] 14/10/2017 18:00

He's impressive, janeann. Still thinking I came close to buying Lo-Q and don't understand Ingresso. My problem, J.

Didn't Buffett lose $3billion on IBM :-)

Thanks Apad

quite an informative interview with Tom Burnett of ACSO; doesn't give me any reason to reduce my holding.
