LUK run by one of the finest investment minds in the world. Lots of ups and downs year to year but 25% return over past 27 years. I don't think the ole boy has lost his touch suddenly. At 20% off 52 week peak the current peak is a buying op.

This is waaaaaaaaaayyyy undervalued. This is quite a little diversified company that does everything from winerys to reinsurance. What I like most about this company is their large positions in Fortescue and Inmet Mining Company. Both of these are...
