"However, Berkshire continues to struggle to find bargains--whether in equities, bonds, or acquisitions--as evidenced by a cash hoard that is approaching $50 billion. Although Berkshire has made several small acquisitions this year, cash seems to arrive in Omaha ever faster."

geeeeeeeeesh, talk about a cash cow!
 
Quote from Urkel:

now that we're on the subject of Warren Buffett, maybe something you guys can answer...

he lives in a small shack just like everyone else. he drives a POS Lincoln Towncar.

his clothes are probably cheap suits.

therefore, what practical use is any of his $10s of billions of dollars net worth?

guys that have $50k to their name live the same way he does!

so what use is there of him having it??

he probably shops for his food at Smart & Final.
 
Making fun of how he lives is no real justification to challenge his investment philosophy. It is merely an extention of that philosophy. There are a few people that can claim his LT track record and although value investing may be out of favor now, there is a reason for it.

The Housing ATM is out of control, Inflation Targets are soon to be a reality, Credit cards are soon to double their minimum payments, 30% of 200-500 Billion will be converted into US dollars thanks to currency repatriation (i wonder what that will do to buffets dollar position?) I can go on......


And be respectful of those who have the scorecard: they are better than you. It is that simple. The clothes do not make you someone to admire, your success does. Only an idiot belives the former.
