    I think Buffett being wrong is one of “the horses of the Apocalypse”. Hold on folks this could get interesting. I have shifted my assets into lamp oil, rye bread and blocks of cheese as I wait for civil insurrection to begin.

    My goodness, a guy can’t even have a little set-back without everyone picking on him. You forgot to include sack cloth.

    The old paradigm that made him a billionaire has changed and he’s just now realizing that. It’s time he retired and enjoyed what little time he has left on the planet. Most of what he knows is irrelevant in todays screwed up market and economy. He’d do well to invest in liquor and guns.

    My advice to Warren would be to take a look at the ever popular Matress Fund.

    The Matress Fund has been around for a very long time. It is recession proof, depression proof and has yet to have a losing year.

    Look at the facts-
    10/1/07-2/27/09

    1M put into the Dow now is = 510,000
    Just a mere 49% loss

    1M put into the Matress Fund = 1M
    Flat return

    I’m just sayin…

    Hey, even the “Budweiser fund” has outperformed some stocks this year…

    If I invested $100 in AIG a year ago,my investment is worth ~1.50 today.

    If I bought $100 worth of Budweiser, I could now return the empties for about $10.

    You got that right, Dread.
    Like Greenberg and Others, his time has come AND gone.
    It’s time for him to go.
    The sad thing is to (still) see him rattling around thinking he’s still cogent
