Genuine attempt to find some quality compounders that people are looking at which take us back to original Buffett and Munger partnership type returns.

Fairfax could increase earnings by 15% p.a. for the next 10 years, and perhaps double its P/E ratio, so that would give you a 700% return, although I think a 10% return is more likely (up 400% in 10 years). I can't think of anything that is likely to get you 900%. For that to happen, you have to either be very luck or swing for the fences, but then you're likely to be disappointed.
