Buffett's bet is not on management, its on the dollar losing value b/c its being printed like mad to meet gov't obligations and it losing its place as the reserve currency. Railroads can haul a ton of goods about 400 miles with one gallon o

No, you can buy B shares at 30-1 value of A shares for about $3000.

1) Malnutrition is not starvation due to not affording food. 2) Thats a whooping 0.0009 of all deaths. 3) If you are poor in America, you are most likely to die from heart disease from eating to many $5 Pizzas and other high caloric food b

Lets not take it out of perspective - no one will starve here, this isn't Uganda, and Domino's has $5 Pizzas.

The Economist's Big Mac compares purchasing power pretty well - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Mac_Index

Unless its case hardened, which I highly doubt this steel is, the "skin" of the metal isn't stronger. You can plainly see rust, so chemical corrosion probably started a crack, which grew through cyclical loading and more corrosion over many

I might not say tremendously because GE and GS came to him in desperation looking for capital. Buffet probably would have done bigger deals with even better terms if they didn't get any bailout money. But his much bigger holdings in Wells

Sure right about his thought process and his disinterest of allocating capital to a snazzy website. BRK.B is a little more accessible at 1/30th the price of A shares, $3283 now. In his book Snowball, he talks about the waste of money to do

Looks like it got high-jacked. If you google Wesco Financial, its the first result and its redirected too. I bet no one renewed the domain...

A group from Garmin came to my school about 5 years ago to do recruiting. I asked their engineer and marketing people if they were going to make a phone, since everyone will have GPS navs on their phone in a few years. They just laughed and
