Buffett vs. Cramer: Time to Buy or Sell? Posted Oct 06, 2008 07:56pm EDT by Aaron Task in Investing, Newsmakers Related: GE, GS, BRK-B, AAPL, UFS, MCF, CEG Two of the most storied investors in modern finance are squaring off as the market gyrates. On the one hand, legendary investor Warren Buffett has invested billions recently with investments in GE, Goldman Sachs and Constellation Energy, among others. On the other hand, former hedge fund titan and market pundit Jim Cramer made a remarkable "sell stocks if you need the money within the next 5 years" declaration on NBC's "The To...

Berkshire Hathaway Inc.
Market capitalization: $196.1 billion Write-offs since 2005: 0% Debt to capital ratio: 22% <!-- /DATA FIELDS -->

The company: BRK's domestic story remains strong with the continued growth of Geico and the benefits post-Katrina increases in insurance rates likely to show up in the bottom line.

The acquisition of Iskar (metal working tools) should allow Berkshire to capitalize on global trends - note the new plant in China.
A personal note: Although the BRK growth story remains strong, Berkshire is not undervalued relative to it's peers (well managed large caps such as GE, no...

<> A big dive in the market yesterday. It looks like investors were spooked by a few earnings bumps and of course the housing market scares everyone. The reality is that housing is bad. There will be a lot of people who lose a lot of money on houses but it will be slow. There aren’t going to be millions of foreclosures in the next month, it’s going to take years for this whole thing to settle out. In the mean time the economy is good, employment is good, inflation is low so as a while the market has no big worries. Take the dips because of sub-prime or housing worries as buying opportunities.<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>...
