RE:RE:Remember $1.90 on May 4th?Extreme,
I would make a distinction between a bet on the direction of markets and a long standing investment in Torstar. I would remind you of Fairfax's significant investment as recently as November 2017.
Finally, Watsa is not infallible. If he got every bet right he would be under constant review by the SEC/OSC and would be richer than Warren Buffett. Clearly he believes in Torstar for reasons best known to him and he is a very patient investor. I would still choose to believe he is going to see this through to privatization.
