Courtesy of Shai Dardashti comes this piece on Prem Watsa, the founder and Chairman & CEO of Fairfax Financial Holdings (FFH/NYSE), in The Globe and Mail. John Daly writes of his rare interview with Watsa in a lengthy piece you may wish to print out and read. And re-read. It's a balanced profile of Watsa's life as well as Fairfax.
The company was first recommended here on May 3 of last year at US$132.50. I've stated previously that Fairfax has been a holding long before this blog's launch and my average cost is US$125.00. The shares closed at $153.48 in New York on Friday (they also trade in Toronto).
Grea article. Thanks for pointing it out.

You're very welcome. A tip of the hat goes to Shai Dardashti for posting it on his site -- that's where I first saw it.
