BRK.A to Suffer as Economy Tanks in 2009

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< />< />< />< />< />< />< />< />< />< />< />< />< />...

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.

Buffett is WRONG
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.

Porsche vs. Crocs…
 It’s Q season and footnoted regulars know what that means — lots of crazy things buried deep in the filings. Sonya, Kristen and myself spent much of the weekend in our waders working our way through all sorts of filings. Some of the biggest names — Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A), Yahoo (YHOO), Bank of America (BAC) and Citigroup (C) were filed late Friday and we’ll be posting observations from those filings and others that come in later today over on subscription-only FootnotedPro.
<>But this one we’re giving away: in the 10-Q that footnoted frequent flyer Crocs (CROX) filed last week, t...

Comfort Zone Investing: Buffett buys Burlington
Filed under: Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A), Comfort Zone Investing, Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNI)  Warrent Buffett, investor extraordinaire, just bought something. The Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad Company (BNI). It cost $26 billion. He already owned part of the railroad, but he wanted it all. Figured it was a great investment. So why should you care?
<>First, because it's Warren Buffett. While he's made one or two bad investments (see Eastern Airlines (who?) as an example), most of what Mr. Buffett buys increases in value. He's not the second richest man in America because he's lucky....

Buffett's railroad move: A win for BNI shareholders
Filed under: Deals, Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A), Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNI)  Warren Buffett's (NYSE: BRK.A) decision to buy the 77.4% shares of Burlington Northern Santa Fe (NYSE: BNI) that he did not already own, for $100 each in cash and stock, is like an early holiday present for BNI shareholders.
And first recommended on April 30, 2009 at a price of $67.81, that means BNI shareholders will earn a cool 47% for their April-bought shares. Not bad for a six-month investment. I would say BNI probably was worth 10-15% more, but BNI shareholders will take the immediate pay-off, just the sa...

Buffett Sells More Moody's Shares: Exit or Rebalancing?
While the dominant headlines yesterday centered around Warren Buffett & Berkshire Hathaway's (BRK.A) acquisition of Burlington Nothern Santa Fe (BNI), we wanted to highlight one of his other recent moves. <>Having already trimmed his stake in Moody's (MCO) a few times prior, legendary investor Warren Buffett has sold even more shares of the ratings agency. On October 28th, 2009, Buffett sold 1,133,027 shares at a price of $24.8637. Additionally, he sold 19,600 shares the next day at a price of $25.2728 per share. This brings his total ownership to 38,066,685 shares. These sales are in addition...

Are the Days of Riding Buffett's Coattails Ending? Maybe Not
Now that Burlington Northern (BNI) is up 30% on a takeover by Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A), some people have sent in congratulations for recommending the stock in a May 4, 2009 blog post. Thank you very much but I didn’t see the takeover coming; I was thinking it could take two or three years for Mr. Market to bid it up that high.
