I've written a new article on shareworld, on the subject of Fairfax Financial Holdings. As it happens I like the look of them, but can't buy any shares, since my broker doesn't offer them (I'm limited to the UK, NYSE and a few selected others, but Fairfax is listed in Toronto).
Sometime in the next 3 months I need to sell my Berkshire Hathaway shares to realise the capital gain before I move to Norway (no capital gains allowance over there). At the same time I'll be opening a brokerage account I can use from Norway - possibly with Internaxx - and that should allow me to buy shares in Fairfax. I haven't quite decided yet, but there's a good chance I'll sell Berkshire and put some of the proceeds into Fairfax (probably not all of it, since I don't trust them quite as much as I trust Berkshire).
