Q: Fairfax, has been extremely weak lately, near yearly lows. Yet, they have unwound I believe half of their hedges against the S&P falling, sold off many of their bonds, and they are in the Insurance business. To me, it would appear that they are in a much better position now, than what they were just a few months ago. In your opinion why is Fairfax so weak currently?

Q: I am thinking of adding one of these to my TFSA. What would be your choice and why?
