BRK.A to Suffer as Economy Tanks in 2009
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< />< />< />< />< />< />< />< />< />< />< />< />< />...

Filed under: General Electric (GE), Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A), Chasing Value, Stocks to Buy, Obama Picks, Annaly Capital Management (NLY) <> For 2009 I will be tracking a real portfolio created this quarter in scary times, when everyone is second guessing themselves, the market, and the economy. Last week I wrote Chasing Value: Annaly Capital Mgmt -- from watch list to buy noting that Annaly Capital Management (NYSE: NLY) was acquired, for among other things its 15% yield and basic stability. It trounced the market in 2008, but the yield by itself was very rewarding and I expect that to contin>...

Filed under: Forecasts, Other issues, Good news, Rants and raves, General Electric (GE), Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A), Market matters, Money and Finance Today, DJIA, Stocks to Buy, Recession My colleague (sort of) James Cramer has suddenly turned into a giant, growling bear. He has been moving in that direction for a few months and now he thinks we all should go into hibernation for five years. He is so wrong! <>First of all, it is never a good idea to make decisions while you are in panic mode. Second, Jim's guidance is moving with the market so he is not making any serious prognostication, ju>...

Filed under: Rants and raves, General Electric (GE), Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A), Market matters, Goldman Sachs Group (GS), Stocks to Buy, Southern Company (SO) <> There is a lot of bad news affecting the stock market and prices are falling for some very important reasons. These include reduced expectations for earnings, higher unemployment, a lack of liquidity, a housing market that has not bottomed yet, federal spending gone wild, and the collapse of some venerable financial institutions to name a select few.

Berkshire Hathaway: Like a Kid in a Candy Store
BRK.A
Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (BRK.A) with Warren Buffett at the helm has one of the greatest financial combinations investors have ever seen. The shares of the once-wheezing textile-maker-turned-investment-vehicle doubled over the past 10 years, while the broad Standard &Poor’s 500 Index returned only 18% during t he same period. In the process, Buffett became the richest man on the planet, with a net worth of about $62 billion, Forbes magazine reported back in March. <>Since then, however, Berkshire Hathaway’s shares have plunged 23% - the "Class A" shares closed Friday at $116,650 each>...

This is not to say that these do not have value or offer some level of security, but they are long term losers. <>A basket of high yielding-high quality stocks can offer a higher return>...

Overall return, 1964-2007: 400,863% 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. <> <> nalysts' Recommendation: | Hold | <> <> <> 30 D>><><>>>>>>...
