Would rather chip in to provide that support to help the overall city and neighborhood improve than pay 1% and have it slide downwards..

Finally I call up ajmadison and ask them to price match the fridge from Amazon, the range from HD, and the DW from Bob's House of Appliances, Fish & Chips and Auto Insurance.Other than clearance sales or damaged items, this method should provide the lowest price possible.

The cookware was not usable (at least I would not want to eat that much chipped Teflon).

It's pretty cut and dry, but it works and now he's worth enough to buy every man, woman, and child a nice sandwich and a bag of chips. 19.7% annualized gain in book value isn't as sexy as day trading, but BRK/A just closed at 190,500 a share!

Best,Chip

It's like the lays potatoe chips, you can't just eat one!

@Sam Grooms Thank you very much for a great advise and as we go means as others chip in with their insight  I will be drafting my strategy and criteria for invest.And in the end I will post my criteria for investment here.

I lived in Houston for 6 years after living in Austin for 10 and am now back in Austin.Austin is a technology hub, not just for semiconductor manufacturing but for actual technology start ups like Solar Winds and Dell and many others and stalwarts like Cisco, IBM, who both have a strong presence here and Google and Apple who are in the process of building campuses here along with GE and Visa.The lack of state tax, low cost of living and abundance of land makes Texas a great prospect for major corporations to set up shop (Samsung continues to expand their chip manufacturing plant as we speak) Even in smaller towns like Waco, you see job growth and new companies coming (mostly manufacturing) simply because the cost of doing business is so much cheaper.

They agree to as-is but then get a termite inspection and then ask me to chip in on the inspection cost or repair.
