BRK.A to Suffer as Economy Tanks in 2009 Graphic_rating_sell BRK.A

What? Have I lost my mind?  Shorting the primary investment vehicle of a man who is considered by many to be the greatest investor of all time?

Well, we shall soon see. In my view 2009 is going to be a very rough year in the financial world. Many analysis, I believe Mr Warren Buffet, included, still really don't get it. They are still talking about America pulling out of the recession sometime during 2009 and on we go to even greater things in investment land.

I fear that many people, even seasoned pros like Buffet,  are still underestimating the beast that has us in its claw< />< />< />< />< />< />< />< />< />< />< />< />< />...

Lesson: Top-flight management

Of all of the advantages that Berkshire Hathaway has going for it, the most obvious begins with two men: Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger. Without them, Berkshire would probably be a now-defunct textile mill. With them, it's been an absolute powerhouse of an investment … which goes to show: We should absolutely demand fantastic management.

Buffett is WRONG Graphic_rating_sell BRK.A

From January up through early August the Berkshire Hathaway fund return NOTHING. And for good reasons. Nothing but banks and insurance companies.

The market gets scared and the price of the stock takes off. After all when buffett owned banks and insurance companies during the tech bubble burst he was on the right side of the fence. But the bottom line is his fund has not evolved to the times. Now we are in a banking crisis and his fund is taking off. Makes no sense.

First Buffett will retire. Then the fund will announce it is broke.

Sell before this happens

Nothing better than Berkshire to remind us all what consistent shareholder value creation is all about.

Will Buffett’s Railroad Bubble Derail the Transportation ETF?
<>Despite the fact that shares of Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A) have lagged far behind broad market benchmarks this year, the events of the last month have shown that the investment community still hangs on Warren Buffett’s every word and tries to draft his every move. Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway announced in early November that it would purchase the shares it didn’t already own in railroad operator Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNI) at a premium of nearly 30%, setting off a run on railroad stocks. While his bullish outlook on the U.S. economy in general (and the railway sector in particu...
