Acquisitions

As regular readers know, our acquisitions have often come about in strange ways. None, however, had a more unusual genesis than our purchase last year of Clayton Homes.

The unlikely source was a group of finance students from the University of Tennessee, and their teacher, Dr. Al Auxier. For the past five years, Al has brought his class to Omaha, where the group tours Nebraska Furniture Mart and Borsheim’s, eats at Gorat’s and then comes to Kiewit Plaza for a session with me. Usually about 40 students participate.

After two hours of give-and-take, the group traditionally presents me with a thank-you gift. (The doors stay locked until they do.) In past years it’s been items such as a football signed by Phil Fulmer and a basketball from Tennessee’s famous women’s team.

This past February, the group opted for a book – which, luckily for me, was the recently-published autobiography of Jim Clayton, founder of Clayton Homes. I already knew the company to be the class act of the manufactured housing industry, knowledge I acquired after earlier making the mistake of buying some distressed junk debt of Oakwood Homes,>

和朋友在一起真的很开心

希望永远有这么一群拉我往前走的朋友陪着我

Spring day limit. I'm really happy with my friends. I hope there will always be such a group of friends who pull me forward with me

So that was my argument – and now let me put it into a simple equation. If Group A (active investors) and Group B (do-nothing investors) comprise the total investing universe, and B is destined to achieve average results before costs, so, too, must A. Whichever group has the lower costs will win. (The academic in me requires me to mention that there is a very minor point – not worth detailing – that slightly modifies this formulation.) And if Group A has exorbitant costs, its shortfall will be substantial.

帕托：罗纳尔多问我加入他的小组还是卡卡的小组

我17岁进入米兰的更衣室。罗纳尔多给了我一本《花花公子》杂志，并说:“加入我的小组还是卡卡的宗教小组。”

根据后来他的经历，很显然他做出了加入罗纳尔多的那一组的决定。

帕托是国际足坛出了名的情场浪子，女友包括AC米兰公主芭芭拉、欧洲名模、巴西女主持等，更换频率十分快速。在中国2年期间他就换了3个女友。在中国期间也曾一直示爱迪尼热巴，只是足球在国内的地位显然不足以让人家了解他的咖位，从来不搭理他。

而让帕托最终定情的，却是比他大九岁的巴西电视节目主持人富二代蕾贝卡·阿布拉瓦内尔。父亲是巴西电视大亨西尔维奥·桑托斯，身家23亿美元，她所供职的电视台正是父亲创办。

真是年少不知阿姨好，错把少女当做宝。

小升初英语专项复习9——形容词及练习

一、什么是形容词？

形容词就是用来修饰名词或代词的词，表示人或事物的性质、状态和特征，通常译成“ 的”。它可以放在名词或代词前（做定语），也可以放在be动词、系动词（look，sound，taste，smell，feel等）之后（做表语）。

Tom is a tall boy.  汤姆是一个高高的男孩。

This is a beautiful garden.  这是一个美丽的花园。

The food sounds delicious. 这些食物尝起来很美味。

二、形容词的考点主要由比较级和最高级。

    比较级和最高级变化规则：

①   一般在词尾加er，est      tall－taller   tallest

②   以字母e结尾，只加r， st          late－later     latest

③   以辅音字母＋y结尾，变y为i，再加er，est        heavy－heavier   heaviest

④   以一个元音字母和一个辅音字母结尾，双写末尾的辅音字母，再加er fat－fatter fattest

 注意：比较级中通常有than，最高级前用the，句子中通常有of，in

（ 两者比较用比较级，三者或三者以上用最高级）

            He is shorter than me.   

He is the tallest in my class.

He is the tallest of all the boys.
