Although Warren Buffett never buys tech stocks for Berkshire (he claims that he and his partner Charlie Munger are not smart enough to understand tech stocks), I always thought that GOOG has many attributes that Buffett likes in a company:
1. It has a dominant position and large market share in its industry. 2. It derives value from a strong brand name (in this case unique proprietary technology). 3. It generates lots of free cash flow and has a strong balance sheet.
Another point that Buffett usually emphasizes is the quality of management. As he writes in his letters, he admires the managers of the companies owned by Berkshire so much that he would like his daughters to marry them. I have never heard the Chairman speak about Jerry Page or Eric Schmidt. None of it matters however since Berkshire will never invest in or buy GOOG.
