Fairfax added JNJ, RIMM and reduced it's position in LVLT and Dell.  It's interesting how Prem is buying JNJ as it is a huge position relative to his portfolio and Warren is selling...

Yeah, I found that pretty interesting as well--I'm mostly wondering why Buffett is selling it.  I know it won't grow fast, but it's got a nice dividend with a seemingly solid moat.

In regards to selling, make sure you check the Odyssey Re portfolio. They may have switched the position to a total return swap.

(3) Principles of Value Investing

First, think of stocks in the same way that a business person would think of a business. Second, do not follow but instead try to take advantage of the manic depressive Mr. Market. Third, always look for a margin of safety.
