I agree with you that these multi billionaires have undisclosed motives here. But I would like to offer a counterpoint to one of your claims. You say that Buffet has a vested interest in having the ability to buy a $20 stock for $13. He does have this interest, but all of us do too. Additionally, he doesn't really have the ability to influence this change any more than we do. If a public company is selling at $13 when it should be $20, then anyone has the ability to buy as much of that stock as they want. There's no secret back channel. For example, last year, Sears was trading at $10. Now it's at $3. I shorted it and made money, because I was betting that Sears would continue to decline. If it was such a sure bet, why didn't Buffet use his magical manipulation powers to short the stock with me?
