Buffet says Crude has peaked

Quote from imc:

Does anyone know if Mr Magoo is still short the Dollar?
the market says, there's been some heavy covering. but do the math. he's probably short from the top (or before), and all the way down. his average cost may very well still be higher.
 
Quote from MarketJudas:

ROTFLMAO..

a.) "There is talk".

b.) "[selling] pressure in the coming days and weeks".

Yes, we all know Buffett's time horizon is a few days and weeks. Not years, if a generation.

Sounds like it is time to get REAL long energy futures into weakness. Most likely we are on the brink of a serious crash higher.

China is facing such serious supply issues for gasoline that they are sending emergency shipments into wealthy residential zones.

Of course, "there is talk" that Buffett is concerned about "continued pressure" on PTR in the "coming days and weeks".

Let's turn the alarmist talk on it's head. It is quite likely that we might be embarking on Goldman's superspike scenario. In fact we are one terrorist attack in Saudi Arabia away from it.

damn right.

this is what i think when i read stuff like this.....

1/ buffet, serious market wise guy isnt about to show his hand is he - self defeating i think.

2/ say youre selling in public. all the et suckers (& every one else to takes tips like this) start shorting damn quick to get ahead of the man himself - cos there so street wise!!!

3/ buffet happily picks up those offers cos he knows its going to the moon.


what does buffet, soros, fred bloggs or any other wizard gain from revealing their hand? ego? getting a name for your self? do you really think these guys give a hoot what others think of them, or do you think they have the self confidence and assuredness not to give a damn (quite frankly honey)

no thanks. these things tend to be self defeating.

take it easy.
 
p.s. - im still trying to sell those crude $105 calls to goldman sachs. they wont take my calls anymore!! b*stards.

:cool:

perhaps ill get buffets number out of rolodex as hes clearly a buyer.

:D
 
Soros seems to have sold at the bottem of the last pullback a few monthes ago and he lost almost a billion. The stocks made new highs in August.

i have always wonered if these terrorists try to fund themselves with positions in oil,bonds or whatever. even a small attack on an oil installation could make them a bundle.

Buffett to dump oil shares
Aug 19 2005 09:19:50:670AM

Hong Kong - Billionaire investor Warren Buffett believes crude oil prices have peaked and he is considering selling his two billion shares in PetroChina, China's biggest oil company, a report said on Friday.

"There is talk that he is considering selling his stake because of his view that crude oil prices may have already peaked, and that PetroChina's shares might continue to come under pressure in the coming days and weeks," a market source told XFN-Asia.

The source said Buffett is said to be considering two options. One is the sale of shares at a discount of 2% without any lock-up period and the second being a sale at a 10% discount.

"He stands to make a killing from this purported share sale because he is said to have bought those shares at only HK$1.90 (US24c) each which is very cheap compared with its current price," the source said.

At mid-afternoon on Friday, PetroChina shares fell $0.30 or 4.54% at $6.30.

Actually I already was of the opinion that Crude is at a topping stage. We're at the blow-off stages.

don't know if that's a 5th up or not, but crude is definitely in panic-buy mode.

from peak to puke would be cool.
