I live in the town of Meadville and know of this joker. He has lived at home with his grandmother and now his mother his whole life and recently worked at Home Depot as a clerk. Yes he might sound convincing but he doesn't have any money that he has earned on his own. His extented family has money and rental houses in Meadville but he ownes nothing. He is nothing more than a person with dilusions of gradeur about his intelligence. He is a immature and foolish. ]]> http://seekingalpha.com/article/98237-be-like-buffett-get-off-the-roller-coaster?source=feed#comment-273715 273715 Sun, 05 Oct 2008 00:20:57 -0400 http://seekingalpha.com/article/98237-be-like-buffett-get-off-the-roller-coaster?source=feed#comment-273709 273709 Sun, 05 Oct 2008 00:04:01 -0400 http://seekingalpha.com/article/98237-be-like-buffett-get-off-the-roller-coaster?source=feed#comment-273701 273701 Sat, 04 Oct 2008 23:42:25 -0400
the bill is passed. the fed is active. interest rates will come down or stay the same. that means the dollar will get weaker and more plentiful, again. it is time to inflate the last bubble, my friends. people will rush to gold, if business picks up, and to gold, if business slows down. for safety, for value, for the last bubble, gold.]]> http://seekingalpha.com/article/98237-be-like-buffett-get-off-the-roller-coaster?source=feed#comment-273667 273667 Sat, 04 Oct 2008 21:49:30 -0400 As far as the Ted Williams analogy goes, a good pitcher will only give you one good pitch to hit in each at bat, and it will in all likelihood be on a corner or in a zone. You don't get a "fat pitch so your average will go down.
That's what bear markets, and this frenetic current state are doing to all who play.]]> http://seekingalpha.com/article/98237-be-like-buffett-get-off-the-roller-coaster?source=feed#comment-273547 273547 Sat, 04 Oct 2008 16:12:02 -0400 http://seekingalpha.com/article/98237-be-like-buffett-get-off-the-roller-coaster?source=feed#comment-273187 273187 Fri, 03 Oct 2008 22:05:31 -0400 His fund has relatively quick upswings followed by long, flat periods. Buffet himself has warned that future returns are going to be less than past. How do you know we aren't starting another decade long flat stretch?]]> http://seekingalpha.com/article/98237-be-like-buffett-get-off-the-roller-coaster?source=feed#comment-272483 272483 Fri, 03 Oct 2008 09:04:33 -0400 http://seekingalpha.com/article/98237-be-like-buffett-get-off-the-roller-coaster?source=feed#comment-272480 272480 Fri, 03 Oct 2008 08:59:52 -0400
As to GE, think of the firm as a mini index 500 vehicle. If GE fails, so does the country, an arguably unlikely event! With this said, close your eyes, hold your nose, and buy GE serially to its ultimate low!

GE's main problem, to nobody's surprise, is that it's vulnerable to the credit crisis and to the real estate market. Secondarily, it's vulnerable to a worldwide slowdown. I wish I hadn't bought it, but at $22 and change it's on sale. AAA rating, solid businesses, and sufficient income to at least maintain the dividend and work through the crisis. I don't see what's not to like with GE at this price.
