Buffett's Berkshire: 14 Stocks That Have Gone Up [view article]
Berkshire got caught in a short squeeze when shorting financials was temporarily banned. When everyone had to cover berkshire shorts simultaneously, the price shot to the roof. It has since gone down as low as 105 thousand in the forced selling by hedge and mutual funds. It has bounced up to 113 thousand at close, 10/11/08. Fair value by Morningstar is 157 thousand, so this is a great buying opportunity if you have a long term horizon. incidentally, wesco has a Morningstar fair value of 675, more than double it`s present stock price of 296. It is worth noting that both companies have no debt to speak of, and only Berkshire has a few stock default swaps/derivatives that are miniscule compared to it`s balance sheet.On Sep 29 04:33 PM 1996 wrote:

Everything down today. (Ah, but it's only one day, you say.) ReplyBuffett's Berkshire: 14 Stocks That Have Gone Up [view article]
agree with a lot users here all those numbers are not up to date and don t correspond to the buying prices.I have a lot of respect for mr Buffett but please do not write false information about his returns. ReplyBuffett's Berkshire: 14 Stocks That Have Gone Up [view article]
What happened to BRKA friday with close at 147, then open Monday at +/- 133? Any thoughts appreciated. Also, I had the misunderstanding that BRK got cheaper after Warren buys "stuff". When does the sale start ? Does Wrigley, Constellation and GS not constitute a spree? ReplyBuffett's Berkshire: 14 Stocks That Have Gone Up [view article]
I bought some CNB @ 3.50 and some @ 3.80, still up so far. look for small stocks with a future. ReplyBuffett's Berkshire: 14 Stocks That Have Gone Up [view article]
The article misses the whole point of BRK. They don't look at one month returns. They look at decades of ownership...THAT is the lesson! ReplyBuffett's Berkshire: 14 Stocks That Have Gone Up [view article]
Very disingenusous to show USG up 10%, when BRK bought their position in the mid to upper $40's ReplyBuffett's Berkshire: 14 Stocks That Have Gone Up [view article]
The BRK-WTM deal is to close in the third quarter I think. ReplyBuffett's Berkshire: 14 Stocks That Have Gone Up [view article]
BRK no longer owns WTM, FWIW. Sold shares back to the company a couple of months back. ReplyUSG Corp: Another Buffett 'Failure to Sell' Mistake [view article]
Oh yeah and another thing, as crazy as it may sound, I own USG, and plan to buy more, because my friends housing always comes back. Always has always will. Sooner or later a katrina, a wild fire, an earth quake or maybe someone somewhere will decide to have kids and maybe they'll want to buy a house. Might take a few years, but if you wait for the good news, you'll be too late. ReplyUSG Corp: Another Buffett 'Failure to Sell' Mistake [view article]
I've heard just about all I can stand. From the diehard buffet fans to the hindsight I told you so writer. I dont think anyone can predict the future I know it, you know it and I'm sure buffet surely knows it. So what if he didnt sell, maybe he's not interested in selling. Maybe he's ready to retire and wants to set his berkshire empire for the long haul. Does he really need the money? I dont like the prices buffet pays but I do like the companies he selects. We are all here to learn this game. I like to listen and to watch and then make my move. If price can beat the market, I would like to hear or see what money you have made 100% of the time because I'm sure you've never lost money right? ReplyGuess Who's Talking About Recession?

I notice that real estate prices in NW Fl are still way above the late nineties prices augmented by a reasonable 7% compounded yearly increase ... so I don't think all the excess has been wrung out to NW Fl prices anyway. Replypessimistic

USG Corp: Speculate With a Necessary Construction Material [view article]
It is a given that USG is a pin action for the likes of HD and LOW ( not to least mention the housing/re-modeling businesses) and with both being lower.. in this author's opinion, when you see any strength in those stocks or businesses, it is a good chance you will also see considerable upswing in USG. I am positively monitoring those markets as I feel when they do hit, it will be crucial to get in front of that curve. Disclaimer: I feel we are a bit out yet but anticipate the move.

I am continually surprised by the discussions that dance around the root of the PROBLEM. We spend all of our time deciphering the areas of impact instead of solving the PROBLEM. Until we abolish the privately owned Federal Reserve System, and it's debt based monetary system, we will be at the mercy of parasites that consume the wealth that we create by our "productive labor". Paying interest (usery) to the "Fed" for "creating money out of thin air" is the ultimate in stupidity. Obey the Constitution, put the monetary system back in the hands of Congress. The Federal Government has the power to create money/credit out of thin air without any debt incurred by "We The People". After all, money is only a medium of exchange to convert productive labor into whatever we want to "purchase". At least we can vote in or out the Congressmen that do or don't understand the American system of monetary policy, which is supposed to benefit "We The People".

Since this article was first posted...USG shares got as low as $23.12 and are now in the $26.50 range.
The failure to sell at $130 is even more clearly defined now. Reply
