bla bla bla...
this article is nonsense...

Battling the Doomsday Machine

U WISH U STUPD SHORT

Berkshire Bond Yields vs. CDS Rates

Finally! Someone that makes sense!

Berkshire Hathaway's Peculiar Volatility Numbers

your short friend is a fool

Money Management and Philanthropy

I hope more people working on Wall Street thought like you, Gates, and Buffett.

Congratulations on an excellent article, and on living life with a purpose! =)

At 2003 Levels, Berkshire Stock Is Enticing

if they have come so low is because people have been "playing" with the CDS market and have been successful in creating panic...

shorts should be investigated...

and this is the cheapest BRK has been in the last 2-3 DECADES...
below book!! even Buffett has said that book value SIGNIFICANTLY undervalues the company, since companies like Seed's are worth 50x + what they are carried in the books...

but hey, if it goes lower, maybe I'll be some more...

Can You Calculate Berkshire's Beta?

happysoul is right, but you have to add the manipulation of shorts through the use of the CDS market...

Greenwich's Outrageous Fortunes and the Children's Investment Fund

I wish more fund managers thought the way you do!

Congratulations on the article fellow BRK shareholder!

What's Happening to Berkshire Hathaway?

Or...Someone like Doug Kass who has been short the stock is taking advantage of the small liquidity in the CDS market to cause a panic to cover his shorts at a lower level...?

Ugly

"The problem is that falls of this magnitude become self-fulfilling"

Maybe that would be a good reason for journalists to be more responsible with what they wite, dont you think?

Enough of great depression predictions...and giving camera time to loonies like Roubini...

Financial Weapons of Mass Destruction Aimed at Omaha

can you say manipulation using the CDS market??

Down 45%, Buffett and Berkshire Hathaway Are On Sale

you are a fool that does not know how to value a company like BRK...
why dont you join Kass in shorting it...he doesnt understand the company either, but he goes on cnbc, says some foolish things, and then is treated like a genius because he got lucky and it went down...

the CDS...it could be a short trying to cover at a lower price...it should be investigated...

Will Berkshire Lose Its Triple-A?

Porbably idiot Doug Kass manipulating the stock through funny CDS transactions to cover his short position...

That idiot Kass should be investigated...he also went on CNBC bashing the stock while being short...

Really, how can BRK be more risky than a bank like citi that has been loosing billions upon billions...or Goldman, which is leveraged a huge amount, while BRK has very little debt, and contrary to what this article says, BRK does not need AAA as much as other companies (like GE, AIG, etc). It sure helps lower costs and not have to post collateral in some positions, but the company was NOT built on the credit rating (contrary to Fannie and Freddie, etc.).

The S&P 500 might be in the green today (barely, at +0.1%), but analysts say more declines are in store. The S&P could touch 2002 lows in the 760s, or possibly even breach 680 by the end of the year.

What analysts? The ones that are short, or freaks like Roubini?
