What Did Buffett Buy: American Express or Wells Fargo? [view article]
Emerald, nice slam. (and appropriate) ReplyBerkshire Hathaway: Like a Kid in a Candy Store [view article]
The columnist writes " Berkshire Hathaway's stock price has doubled,over the past ten years." Using the "rule of 72" that works out to an annual return of 7.2%. A decent return for sure, but it hardly warrants all the gushing. I think some people are just caught up in the Warren Buffet mystic and lose sight of the facts.

I have been looking at BNI more lately, seems like a good buy, freight trains get amazing efficiencies in cost of fuel when shipping goods when compared to trucking. BNI has great management also. ReplyBerkshire Hathaway: Like a Kid in a Candy Store [view article]
"Some observers contend that Buffett has become too distracted with too much ukulele-playing at Berkshire Hathaway’s investor gatherings and catching the public eye with trips to China, shown live on financial cable channel CNBC. Buffet is now also intent on saving the United States from "itself" and the mountain of debt it has amassed, which is the reason for his participation (and stellar performance) in the financial documentary "I.O.U.S.A.."... "I am involved in the attempt to save America from itself also. What I would actually call it is damage control and sparing as many lives as possible very real pain. Warren Buffet is what you call a true Christian and many get confused because of organized religion. Christianity is a code of ethics, it means you are willing to put others before yourself, even to death. I know this, because he takes the time to post information here at SA. That takes time to educate others, time he could use to add some zeros to his bank account.
Some feel this is a waste of time, to sacrifice for others when needed, but no this is not true. It actually creates some very nice investment opportunities down the line and creates trust as an honest player. If he is a kid in the candy shop then he did a great job on his paper route and save his pennies for the right time when all the other kids pissed there's away on tootsie rolls.
In reading Warren Buffets biographies and his writings here, I come to the conclusion he learned fundamentals at an early age and lived by them. This was balanced with his Judeo-Christian belief system that America was founded on and once so prosperously lived by.
He looks at a big picture using common sense of cause and effect and applies historical context based on repetetive human nature. A good gentleman and role model. Not a god, one who acquired wisdom from knowing God. Reply

Union Pacific split, dumbass. Trane was bought by Ingersoll Rand. ReplyLargest Companies in the World [view article]
I, am a chrysler worker here in Canada,cannot talk about the U.S , but I would have to agree with user 218405. A lot of my co-workers and good friends are still waiting for a recall. To conclude dc1 I am not in management, I work in the painting shop.Sorry but the next move from chrysler won t be a recall but to send more workers home indefinitely. I know the economy is bad but over the years,good and bad,the union did not help that sector. They helped me short term but long term it s a different story. A lot of my friends agrre with me but too afraid to voice their opinion,that tells you a lot about the union isn t it? Replyr123

I say this as a Berkshire holder for over 10 years: WHO CARES. Do your own homework and pick either AXP or WFC or pick something different altogether. Warren would never follow someone blindly and neither should any other investor. ReplyLargest Companies in the World [view article]

I think the saying he bought Ingersoll Rand and sold Trane is also wrong because didn't they acquire Trane in a cash and stock transaction. ReplyBuffett Takes Berkshire Hathaway on $4 Billion Spending Spree [view article]
Buffett bought Bank of America (BAC) circa June 2007 at about 50. Six months later, BAC's writedowns drove down its price to 40. A year later, BAC is trading at about 30. Banks fooled Buffett and BH like everyone else.Given this fallibility, chasing any one of Buffett's picks is a mistake. Reply
