Q: This weekend's Barrons magazine mentnioned Fairfax as a successful company that emulate's Berkshire's strategy and secret to success—and investor returns—combining investments and aquiring insurance businesses.

Q: Hello 5i
Seems this company is having trouble regaining its money making status despite showing growth in assets.

Consolidated Net Income is way below prior year and barely dribbling higher quarter over quarter. Are they poor operators and more of this can be expected?

What are your thoughts on this investment and how much more time do you think is required until they can get it in gear?

Thanks
