DARJIX

My younger brother took me to game six of the ALCS. I think it was the first time I’ve ever seen a grand slam at Fenway.

Separately, I have a few friends who work at Jordan’s Furniture. Jordan’s had a promotion where they would refund the cost of any furniture bought in March 7 and April 16, if the Sox won the World Series. My friends are not rooting for the Sox to win because of the potential financial impact. I think they must be mistaken though, since the article says Jordan purchased insurance to cover any losses from the promotion. Relax guys, your bonus is safe.

Jordan’s is owned by Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.b). I have BRK.B in my portfolio. I’m pretty sure it must have been Berkshire that underwrote the promotion. So does the rest of the world, which has lead to a ton of press stories about how Warren Buffett is rooting against the Sox.
