We'll see. Some gold producers jumped 42%+ today.
Warren has influence for sure.
I heard Berkshire bought shares of a mining company, is that what you're referring to? [Reply]

More correct. It's Berkshire buying. And 500M is about 0.1% of Berkshire’s market cap which means it probably ain’t Buffett doing the buying but one of his sidekicks. Secondly no one is carrying on about his $2.1bn addition to his Bank of America holdings bringing his ownership of that bank to over 12%. That’s huge news especially given anything over 10% bank ownership requires him to publicly disclose his transactions. [Reply]

There's an assumption that most of these farmers have crop insurance... insurance for out buildings, too.
I’ve seen a lot of pictures on agtalk. There is real damage on even shit that’s still standing.
Broke is fucked. Laying over is only moderately less fucked. If the ear is sitting on dirt it will rot right now. If it tries to fill it’s got half the leaf tissue to make starch. Then harvestability becomes a pretty big issue. Big thing is the leaves have been stripped off of virtually every picture I’ve seen. That’s bad news. Also saw a bunch of pictures of damaged ears. I assume hail. [Reply]

I don’t know what you consider popping but it’s 52 week high is 3.98. I don’t see anything that would drive that stock that high or over that right now. [Reply]

DD :-) I despise buzz words. Their increased revenue and cash on hand seem to be worked in to the price all ready. Hey I’m talking about them they are at least on my radar probably shouldn’t be. I just don’t see a sizable increase, again depends definition of pop. [Reply]
