Shai Dardashti shares Mr. Buffett's comments to some friends from the University of Georgia this past Saturday regarding National American Fire Insurance (NAFI).

It's hard to believe a stock with $135 book value and $29 in earning per share sold for only $27. I wonder how much Buffett made on this gem?
