Mr. WEO Posted July 22, 2020 Posted July 22, 2020 11 hours ago, Lurker said: So why are those pipeline and storage assets assets undervalued to the point that he's "buying low?" Buffett's not risk immune here. Those infrastructure assets can and do go up and down in value, just like the actual commodity prices, driven by whether people want to own them or not. Right now, the hot money doesn't want them. Buffett's simply willing to take a longer investment horizon than most, which usually works to his favor (except in the case of airlines. Doh!!)... No matter the going price of gas, it has to make it to market. He now owns nearly 20% of that route. He will charge for use of those routes whether the producer is selling downstream for $3 (a high) or $1 (a low). If NG price had plummeted simply as a function of the pandemic, this would be a more obvious play. But that’s not the case.

This is what wise investors do. When the street value of a business is low, but they have good potential, that's when the smart investors swoop in. Good on Pegs for playing this the right way. Reading through this article, I noticed an interesting tidbit: "Those sales provided Pegula with the cash he then used to buy the Sabres and the Bills and build the HarborCenter hotel and ice rink complex next to KeyBank Center, among other ventures that also include a country music recording studio." So T&K are Country Music fans? That's cool. Love me some George Jones. I figure, as Bills fans, we can all commiserate with drinking tons of whiskey to drown our sorrows, stemming from repeated heartbreaks, ha ha! Edited July 22, 2020 by ROCBillsBeliever 1
iinii Posted July 22, 2020 Posted July 22, 2020 How is this related to football? This has nothing to do with X’s and O’s.

iinii Posted July 22, 2020 Posted July 22, 2020 This deal will have virtually zero bearing on either team’s viability in Buffalo.

May Day 10 Posted July 22, 2020 Posted July 22, 2020 The Amerks were.... OK. Murray to a point, and Botterill much moreso were big AHL guys. The Amerks' performance was driven by a lot of players who wont see more than a desperate callup to the NHL a few times in their lives. They have been lacking in prospect contributors as the last 2 Sabres GMs have been horrific at asset management, drafting, and developing players. Rochester has had a few good regular seasons, but failed to win a playoff... game.

But the Amerks had enough talent enough to be on pace to make their 3rd playoff appearance in 3 years. Before Sexton, the Sabres GM was the Amerks GM. How did that go for the Sabres (or the Amerks)? What was your point? That they had to fire the Coach and GM of their successful farm team? Well argued....

Might be a good time to dump the team. It likely won't go anywhere.

Wins at that level mean zero if you are doing it with players who will never help the NHL club. Drafting plays a part in that, but successful coaches can develop players as well. Chris Taylor was no huge loss. March Sabres fans , including me, were" blow the whole thing up, this entire organization is trash" Sabres blow the whole thing up, same fans are "Pegulas blowed the whole thing up..WTF they are cheap and don't know what they are doing" 1

But now it's evidence that they're bad owners. Like I said, I wouldn't care if they sold everything but the Bills, if the Sabres were ensured of staying in Buffalo. Let them focus on the most important franchise.
