$BSP really have to question Gregg as the right to choice to lead Berkshire with this BSP investment. While it's meaningless in size to Berkshire, it's what it says about the investment process under Gregg and how they are underwriting managers. This does not strike me as a Buffet investment on any level. Something to watch as he continues to deploy capital....not sure how you get comfortable with an acquisition roll up of intangible assets, especially against the unknown of ai disruption. They should go back and study the intangible asset roll ups from the prior decade in the pharma space

Went to my local GameStop $GME today. The manager said they have more pre-orders to Zelda: Ocarina of Time than they do for GTA 6. The pre-orders are so much they are going to have a midnight release which they haven't had in years. He also said they going to start rolling out card tournaments inside of the store.
