Grupo Televisa SA. Mexican. Large exposure to Spanish language TV markets in Mexico, the US, and Latin America. Future of growth in US bright. Bought 3/18/2008. Plan to add shares soon.

Other big holdings included Republic Services, shares of Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway (BRK/A) and Grupo Televisa (TV), Mexico's largest broadcaster. There wasn't a tech stock in the bunch.
