Commodities
Energy prices
were mostly low-
er, with the ex-
ception of heat-
ing oil prices,
which rose.
Crude oil prices
fell less than 1%.
Gold and silver
prices rose.
In recent years, Berkshire has repurchased only
modest amounts of stock, and it hasn’t paid a
dividend because Buffett believes he generates
better returns by reinvesting Berkshire’s cash.

Shanahan said.
Buffett hasn’t landed a
major acquisition since
2016, when Berkshire
bought Precision Castparts,
Shanahan estimates that
Berkshire has invested
roughly $45 billion in smaller I
acquisitions, stock
purchases and buybacks in
the past three years.

I love the way the rolls have that
perfect blend of shrimp and rice and
the sauce is to dream over. Call me
obsessive-compulsive disorder, but
the fact the rolls don’t fall apart when
you take a bite gives Pho House a bo-
nus point of a million in my books.
I have had the pho numerous times
and I personally love them all, with
the fatty brisket noodle soup the
leader in the clubhouse, but not by
much.
The choices include eye round
steak noodle, beef tendon noodle,
meatball noodle, beef brisket noodle,
chicken noodle, skirt flank noodle
and seafood noodle.
I would change their names to
awesome, awesomer, awesomer-er,

you say awesome, awesomer.
Yeah, that good.

the meats come in grilled form.
This place is one of the best in

Buffett is likely to brush off
any fresh investor demands
to spend on dividends and
buybacks, as he continues
waiting for attractive
acquisition targets, said Andy
Kilpatrick, who wrote “Of
Permanent Value: The Story
of Warren Buffett.”
“There is a little pressure
on him, but I think he can
withstand it,” Kilpatrick said.

Santa will be making his way to
One of the better fringe benefits of
that influence is the offering of won-
derful cuisine that came with it.
Numerous Vietnamese restaurants
dot the local landscape and one of the
better ones is the Pho
House & Vietnamese
Cuisine located at
10424 Interstate 1-10
East in Baytown.
Pho, is a Vietnam-
ese soup consisting i a4d
of broth, rice noodles H
(banh ph), herbs, IIzd—|
and meat - usually ALAN
beef (ph bd), some- DALE
times chicken (phd_____________
ga). Pho is a popular street food in
Vietnam and served in restaurants
around the world, and the staple of
Pho House.
Yet, that is not the only delicacy
one can have for lunch or dinner -
open 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. every day but
Sunday when they serve from 12-7
p.m. - for those connoisseurs of the
cuisine or the curious.
In reality, in a more health-con-
scious country, Vietnamese food can
be one of the better yummy offerings
that would not necessarily cause you
to become punished for your need for
good tastings.
Pho House is a place for the happy
medium.
The menu is essentially simple to
a degree offering various pho, rice
dishes and vermicelli along with de-
licious appetizers.
My personal favorite combination
is the spring rolls (with peanut sauce)
and a chargrilled chicken bowl -
which alone can fill you for a reason-
able $9.
