Rather active month.

Moved a chunk of cash into SRLN and ISTB.

Added to Berkshire and a swath of Liberties positions ( QVCA, LSXMA, LILA, LBTYK )

Bought a tracking position in FB.
Bought small positions in AN (possibly cheap long term hold), AUXO, FWP (special situation).

Sold some FRFHF - still undecided how much of it I will hold long term and at which price. Sold some
Fannie/Freddie prefs.

Bought WFC on forced Buffett selling. Sold on rather stupid CEO comments. There are other banks to invest; no need to live with CEO who cannot acknowledge internal issues and blames outsiders.
