Good stuff FFB, unfortunately, Warren is kinda lagging and only up 1.21% YTD vs. +2.68% for the S&P and +4.77% for the fund! Just posted an update, check it out.

Also, I’ve put up a permanent page tab for all contributors to highlight any news or updates on their name, to keep it as realistic as possible.

Best, Sam
