  • Top 5 Quotes from Berkshire's Annual Meeting [View article]
    Thanks Jeff. That removes some internal conflict for me. It admits the higly overleveraged reality we are in.

    I have noticed that Buffett is increasingly avoiding common equity and lending out Berkshire money for high interest preferreds and warrants. Berkshire also put a lot into COP, a commodity based stock.

    IMHO: I think Buffett knows governments have screwed up the monetary gears, ....but being publicly negative about government has no positive consequences, ...and is not doing yourself a favor.
