That’s a pitch I’m sure you’ve heard some semblance of at cocktail parties, golf outings, weddings, and, of course, on the Internet. And it’s a pretty appealing pitch.

The place to be this weekend was Omaha, NE. Investors headed to the heartland to pick apart Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger’s brains.

Berkshire Hathaway reported a 64 percent decline in net income stating large losses related to its derivatives contracts and lower profits from its insurance businesses. It reported a $1.6 billion in losses on its derivate contracts, and lower revenues on its insurance businesses siting an increased number of accidents. Buffet had previously warned that the company\'s earnings would be less then favorable; however, he also stated that their derivatives business would ultimately be profitable.

Standard & Poor’s assigned a “AAA” rating to Berkshire Hathaway Inc.’s (BRKA) municipal bond insurance unit, standing in stark contrast to the deterioration of other bond insurer ratings in recent months. “The rating of (Berkshire Hathaway Assurance Corp.) is based on its extremely strong competitive position, insurance and reinsurance capitalization, and financial flexibility,” S&P wrote. Berkshire Chairman and Chief Executive Warren [...]

Many people have long wondered about Berkshire Hathaway's (BRK.A) succession plan. A move by David Sokol today may be a hint at it. Warren Buffett has said Berkshire has three internal candidates, including one who could step in immediately, and would like any successor to be young enough to stay on for 15 years. Sokol, the now former CEO and still Chairman at Berkshire's Mid-American energy subsidiary is 51 years old. Sokol told the Omaha World-Herald that ending his 17-year run as...

This from the AP: Hillary Clinton, Warren Buffett Appear Together to Denounce Income Gap The Clinton-Buffet appearance was their second this year, following a similar session in June in New York. Like that appearance, Tuesday’s question-and-answer session was a fundraiser that brought in $1 million for the campaign of Clinton, the Democratic presidential front-runner. From San Francisco, she headed to Sacramento to pick up another $300,000. In San Francisco, the biggest campaign donors got special treatment from Clinton and Buffet, including an extended picture-taking session that caused their “conversation on the economy” before an audience of 1,500 to begin later than scheduled. Clinton played moderator and questioned Buffet — one of the world’s richest people with a net worth of $52 billion, according to Forbes magazine — about the economy. Buffett is chairman and CEO of Omaha, Neb.-based Berkshire Hathaway Inc., an investment company he founded. Buffet a

“We never buy stocks when we see prices soaring,” Berkshire Hathaway's (BRK.A) Warren Buffett told reporters while on a visit to northeastern China Wednesday. “We buy stocks because we’re confident of the company’s growth. People should be cautious when they see prices rising.” He clarified the comments on CNBC saying "I, just said that we very seldom buy into a market that's gone up a whole lot, and I don't know anything real specific about the Chinese market or Chinese stocks. But I do know... [[ This is a content summary only. Visit my website for full links, other content, and more! ]]

The comparisons have been rampant about Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A) and Eddie Lampert's Sears Holdings (SHLD). Let's look and rather than comparing the 42 year old Berkshire with the 2 year old Sears in both their current states, let's look at Berkshire's beginnings and take an apples to apples approach when making the comparison. First things first. This is not a "who is better" look between Buffett and Lampert but a look at the beginning of both businesses and the... [[ This is a content summary only.

Every since my Berkshire (BRK.A) post last month, I have been seeing posts pop up around the internet about it. Most are incredulous that I could possibly for a second doubt Mr. Buffett. To a person their replies recite his track record despite my saying in my opening "No one will will argue or dispute his past success and what he has done for shareholders. Nor will anyone attempt to belittle the atmosphere and honesty in which he runs the organization and the culture he created." Yet all... [[ This is a content summary only.

A while back I had a post on my thought that Berkshire Hathaway's Warren Buffett has not recently been investing like, well, Warren Buffett. There was a time when 40% of Berkshire's assets were in 1 stock, American Express. Now before you freak I do fully realize that given Berkshire's size today, that is not possible. My point was, given the bear market we had after 9/11 (bottoming in 2003), Buffett really has not made any meaningful investments given Berkshire's size. Yes I know $3...

Since "Woodstock For Capitalist's" weekend in Omaha is now over, a bit about Berkshire and it's leader. No one will will argue or dispute his past success and what he has done for shareholders. Nor will anyone attempt to belittle the atmosphere and honesty in which he runs the organization and the culture he created. That being said, being a former Berkshire (BRK) shareholder I would not consider purchasing shares until Buffet steps down. The reason? $40 billion in cash and no plans to spend...

Here is Warren's annual missive. This is the value investing instruction manual. A word of warning: Be careful about relying on the media to frame his comments for you. Quite often in the past they have taken snip-its that sound good on TV but when you read them again in the context they were written, do not necessarily convey the same sentiment. Berkshire Hathaway Annual Letter (you need Adobe Reader to view it) Some commentary that is relative to recent news events: Real Estate: "The slowdown in residential real estate activity stems in part from the weakened lending practices of recent years. The “optional” contracts and “teaser” rates that have been popular have allowed borrowers to make payments in the early years of their mortgages that fall far short of covering normal interest costs. Naturally, there are few defaults when virtually nothing is required of a borrower. As a cynic has said, “A rolling loan gathers no loss.” But payments not made add to principal

The final hurdle for the subdivision will occur Monday night, November 27th at a second hearing on the approval. If final approval is given, residents of Bekshire Manor will become citizens of the city of Alpharetta on December 1st.

Residents of Berkshire Manor believe that becoming a part of the city of Alpharetta will benefit the neighborhood in many positive ways to improve property values including the prestige of Alpharetta, improved code enforcement, excellent city services and acces to Alpharetta’s parks and recreation.
