Buffett Serving Free Lunch? (Part II)

Looks like a lot of hand wringing trying to prove that WB may have made ONE BAD TRADE out of the hundreds of investments he holds. Once again, this is an INSURANCE policy.

Liken it to your life insurance. It is there, you fund it, but you HOPE LIKE HELL you do not have to collect on it!

Berkshire's Puts: Not Such a Great Idea

FS, you are really too much. When someone actually trusts you to manage billions of dollars, THEN and only THEN will your thoughts be relevant. This, as well as the other investments recently made by WB, are strokes of genius meant to bring in returns long after he goes on to his final reward. Sheesh!

Down 45%, Buffett and Berkshire Hathaway Are On Sale

As a generic comment, shouldn't SA start asking pundits to back up their assertions, ie, if berkshire is such a screaming buy, why are you not long BRK? It would add a bit of credibility to the author.

BTW, Long BRK-B.

Bond Expert: Tuesday Wrap

Fatcat, does the same context hold for Cramer??? (thought not!)

Rogers has made a fortune and will lose a large chunk of it.

Let Buffet Do the Buying for You

Gordo, his time horizon is not 2 months. Will likely double down or just reinvest dividends over the next 10-20 years. Not sure what your point is...

Here I Go, Criticizing Warren Buffett

simply buy BRKA or BRKB and you get the same deals. Stop whining. OR, pony up 3 or 5 Billion and get the same deal.

Or should he not make money since many - including me - are losing their heads and their shirts (If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you - Buffet)???

Buffett Likes to Be Early; Don't Rush to Follow

Huh? Poor analogy on subways...

Check his actual purchases. Not sure you got them right. Did you account for splits and spinoffs?

What Does Warren Buffett See in General Electric?

Buffett buys for decades, not weeks or even years.

Who else matches his returns over long term horizons? He has been doing this for 40 years.

I doubt you are right on this one. Even if GE does go to 10, which it won't, Buffett would back the truck up to loan on more.

Breaking News: Wells Fargo Buys Wachovia

I wouldn't count the chickens just yet...don't forget who one of the Vice Chairs at Citi is (Bob Ruben).

Buffett's GE Warrants Quickly Trade Out of the Money

duh, he (WB) is not day trading these warrants. I am sure he is only worried about them near expiry.

Buffett's Berkshire: 14 Stocks That Have Gone Up

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!
