[OT]—Good point about the investment firms who have done well by focusing on the Heartland. (Don’t forget Wally Weitz, the “other” investor from Omaha.)

If we’re extending this discussion to the Heartland generally (not just the Mississippi River and its tributaries), then I am expanding the table in #msg-60638963 to include ABT, APD, and CLF, which are on my top-20 list. I’m also throwing in CAT for good measure, even though it’s not on my top-20 list.
