  • Berkshire Hathaway Stock Portfolio: At Risk of Resembling an Index Fund? [View article]
    ".... There are the rights-of-way, which you can’t get rid of. So there’s no issue about having to earn a return on them because you have to keep it in the business, and because there’s nothing they can do with those rights-of-way. ..."

    VERY short-sighted! Get rid of the rights of way?! There are lot's of things one can do with the rights-of- way BNI owns....limited only by one's imagination.

  • The Five Economic Horsemen [View article]
    "The current presence of three, or possibly four, of these signs has me thinking very carefully about my assets, my family's needs, and how we will manage the changes ahead. When the fifth horseman arrives, it will bring a new reality for all of us, and I intend to be as ready as possible."

    How exactly will you get "as ready as possible"?

    Thanks!

  • 51.68% in 165 Days [View article]
    "...The biggest rally during the '29 to '32 period was 46.77% over 148 days. The current rally is up 51.68% over 165 calendar days. ..."

    Looks pretty darn ( statistically ) similar to me! The exact opposite of your conclusion...suggest you brush up on your math!

    "...Economically we are in 1932-33 as near as I can tell...."

    Based upon what? Unemployment rate? Nope! GDP decline rate? Nope!

    Media hype? Yep!

  • Bypass the Depression and Head Straight for 1907 [View article]
    Talk about in-depth analysis....NOT! You guys amaze me with your lack of any thought whatsoever, just a few selective statistics to support a "hype" headline.

  • Bullish Sentiment Drops 30% [View article]
    If you really want to make your point, deal in a longer time period ( i.e. back at least through the last major bear in 2000-2001 ). How low did the numbers go then? The short-term graph you use doesn't correlate to anything but short-term price movements.

    The last time I looked, a 10.5% return rate was 25% greater than 8.4%...a tremendous difference when compounded over a lifetime.
