Greetings from Nebraska

We live in Fremont, Nebraska, and attended the Get Motivated Seminar last November in Omaha. We really liked Phil Town's presentation. We attended the first Investools class and have been trying to combine Rule #1 and the Investools methods.

Justin, you mentioned that you get to Omaha about once a month or so. Maybe we could get an ROIC small group get-together for the members in the Omaha--Lincoln--York area next time you are in Omaha.

Larry and Nancy

Hello fremont and welcome to the forums! (officially haha). I've enjoyed yours and your wife's writeups on EFJI.

Yeah I try to get to Omaha every so often. Another member here, Lois, is also from the nearby area!

I can definately see the community growing to a point where local members start having mini-discussion groups at the local SBUX.

I was using USB as an example of a company in the banking industry that has been identified as having a WIDE moat. I’m saying that we might not want to say “Oh, it’s a bank, it doesn’t have a moat.”

Hello Jason and welcome to the community! Thanks for the kind words btw :)

In case you weren't already aware, we have a discussion on WIRE already in progress. Perhaps you can share some additional information that you have come across in your studies. Here is a direct link to that discussion: http://www.roicommunity.com/forum/homework-examples-archive/296-encore-wire-corporation-wire.html


Thanks for joining, see you on the boards!

Justin

Hi from Kansas City

New to the Rule #1 investing concept. Just purchased the book and am starting on the adventure. Been an investor for a few years but not any great successes to write about. Still have my original investment plus a little.
