Mr. Perry sells Metchup exclusively from the lobby of a nine-room motel adjacent to his used-car dealership in Lacombe, Louisiana. He has registered Metchup as an incontestable trademark. Though he had big plans for Metchup, sales have been slow. Since 2010, Mr. Perry has produced only 50 to 60 bottles of Metchup, which resulted in sales of around $170 and profits of around $50.

  • Maybe Warren Buffett Agrees with Bill Gross on Financial Asphyxiation Article
    Article SNL Blogs Monday, August 17, 2015 2:18 PM ET Maybe Warren Buffett agrees with Bill Gross on financial asphyxiation By Jeff K. Davis Jeff Davis, CFA, is a veteran bank analyst and SNL Financial contributor. The views and opinions expressed in this piece are those of the author and do not necessarily represent the views of SNL or Mercer Capital, where he is the managing director of the financial institutions group. The financial press tracks Janus Capital Group Inc.'s star fixed-income portfolio manager Bill Gross closely. His Saigon-like helicopter roof departure from Pacific Investment Management Co. LLC (PIMCO) last year has been forgotten. His accomplishments as one of the best fixed-income investors the past four decades are more important than a short, messy chapter in his life. Many have one or two anyway. As a bond manager, Gross is dour compared to equity investors, who usually ask two questions: What's the upside and what's the margin of safety if I am wrong? Plus, equity investors cheer from the rafters for actions that are detrimental to corporate bond holders: buybacks, dividend recaps, debt-financed M&A and spinoffs of profitable units. For bond investors like Gross, what is bad for equities typically is good for bonds. A weaker economy can translate into rising bond prices and declining yields. Rising prices and coupon clipping can generate great total returns, except for our age when only the lower rungs of the high-yield market offer much coupon to clip. With commodity prices in a free fall and credit spreads beginning to widen, the markets' tone has been negative lately.

  • Five Alumni of H.J. Heinz Board of Directors Send Letter to Procter & Gamble Directors
    FIVE ALUMNI OF H.J. HEINZ BOARD OF DIRECTORS SEND LETTER TO PROCTER & GAMBLE DIRECTORS Describe How Nelson Peltz Won Them Over as a Heinz Director After a Hard-Fought Proxy Contest Underscore Nelson Peltz’s Long-Term Focus and Contributions Made to Heinz Board September 27, 2017—Five Alumni of the H.J. Heinz Company (“Heinz”) Board of Directors today sent a letter to Directors of The Procter & Gamble Company (NYSE: PG) (“P&G”), reflecting on their positive experience working with Nelson Peltz in the Heinz boardroom. Following Heinz’s hard-fought 2006 proxy contest against Trian Fund Management, L.P. (“Trian”), the Alumni of the Heinz Board found Nelson Peltz to be a valuable, constructive and collegial director with a focus on delivering long-term value to Heinz shareholders. The five signatories of the letter are former Heinz directors Charles E. Bunch, Thomas J. Usher, Dennis Reilley, John G. Drosdick and Dean R. O’Hare – all of whom were members of the Heinz Board for the entirety of Nelson Peltz’s tenure on the Board from 2006 through 2013. Dear Procter & Gamble Directors, In 2006, Nelson Peltz joined the Board of H.J. Heinz Company following a long and hard-fought proxy contest. Like you, many of us had feared that Nelson’s presence would disrupt the effectiveness of our Board process and derail the execution of our strategy. However, just the opposite proved true. The following are some reflections on our experience with Nelson as a Heinz Director: Nelson was a valued member of the Heinz board.

  • Warren Buffett Trip
    Warren Buffett Trip Omaha, Nebraska January 2018 Letter from Smart Woman Securities National Meeting with Warren Buffett on January 12th was an honor and a privilege that SWS members will treasure for a lifetime! During the 2 ½ hour Q&A session, we intently listened to Mr. Buffett as he educated us on business, provided advice on rela- tionships and shared meaningful and humorous insights on life and success. He is often referred to as the “Sage of Omaha”, a title earned for being the world’s greatest investor. The definition of a sage is someone characterized by wisdom, prudence and good judgement and Mr. Buffett truly embodies each of these qualities. But the depth of his tremendousness goes far beyond his financial acumen. And because of his generosity with his time, we were able to see and hear for ourselves just how wonderful a person he is. His brilliance, humility, kindness and optimism were evident and inspiring. Our rigorous preparation requirements included readings from The Intelligent Investor, The Making of an American Capital- ist, watching video interviews, dissecting the Annual Shareholder newsletter, and participating in weekly discussion groups. By thoroughly researching companies and studying biographies of the executives that we were meeting, it allowed the students to take full advantage of the opportunity of asking thoughtful questions beyond what anyone could easily access on the internet. All agreed that the preparation allowed them to derive the maximum benefit from the trip. That afternoon was followed by an exclusive dinner at Mr. Buffett’s favorite steakhouse, Gorat’s with our members and SWS Co- founders, Tracy Britt Cool and Teresa Hsiao.

    Media Contact: Brady Smith 412-454-6459 [email protected] Pittsburgh Illustrated: New History Center Exhibit Showcases Works of Art by the Society of Illustrators -The juried exhibition features artwork that depicts Western Pa. history in a new and engaging way- PITTSBURGH, July 22, 2017 – Visitors to the Senator John Heinz History Center can marvel at more than 50 new works of art by members of the Pittsburgh Society of Illustrators (PSI) as part of the new exhibition, Art of Facts | Uncovering Pittsburgh Stories, now on display in the museum’s fifth floor Barensfeld Gallery. The Art of Facts exhibit creatively interprets the rich history of Western Pennsylvania and shares its compelling stories through the art of illustration. Last year, members of the Pittsburgh Society of Illustrators – the second largest group of illustrators in the U.S. – were charged with researching, discovering, and sharing those stories in a new and engaging way. The artists’ work featured in the exhibit depicts everything from Andrew Carnegie’s job at age 13 in a textile mill to Walt Disney’s visit to Westinghouse to the story of Pittsburgh’s lost “H,” and much more. Beyond the major landmarks, groundbreaking discoveries, celebrated achievements, and famous locals, there are captivating details of history that have seldom been shared. Celebrating its 20th anniversary in 2017, the Pittsburgh Society of Illustrators brings those local illustrators together to facilitate artistic and professional growth, advocate for artists’ rights, and promote collective Pittsburgh talent. The Art of Facts exhibit showcases the talent of PSI artists who work in corporations, publishing, the medical field, science, and a range of other disciplines throughout the region.
