The date is October 21, 2004. The place is 1355 Avenue of the Americas in New York City at the Hilton Hotel. As the co-Portfolio Manager of the successful Davis Appreciation and Income Fund, I am one of the key note speakers presenting to a group of top-producing brokers at the Union Bank of Switzerland Investor Forum.

But this meditation is unlike any I have ever experienced; it is much deeper. Profound magic proceeds to unfold.
