He was really good at investing, which is why it worked.

So what we're doing is we're, you know, Buffett started with a crappy textile company.

He effectively liquidated it over time, reinvested in insurance, and then invested the assets well.

Howard Hughes is actually a really interesting company, but it's a business that Wall Street has not cared about for a long period of time.

We created it out of the bankruptcy of General Growth.

It was a spin-off of all the other assets.

And it's a company that owns these small cities.

So I bet a lot of people here have heard of Summerlin, because a lot of the tech community has moved from California to Las Vegas.

But we own a

this small city, 26,000 acres of land.

We own all the commercial land.

We own all the residential land.

We sell lots of home builders.
