    so who now is going to believe another analyst at some ratings firm in NYC talking about what he thinks will happen? would it be a big surprise to read a poor report on BRK if BRK doesn’t do business with S&P?

    If S&P always gave the AIG credit default swaps a AAA rating, why should we think that they are correct on this one??? I think S&P’s credibility went out the door long ago..

    “I feel your pain” , Mr upset.
    But the right read here is that S&P ARE taking the cautious road…-even with “god” himself..-you know..the oracle..doing the deal-making
    -Could it be that S&P’s caution is borne out of some doubt regarding Mr B’s REAL financials ?
    ..Inquiring minds want to know..

    Do we view this as BH’s outlook on the insurance industry as BH chooses to move their capital, some generated by the insurance business, rail road industry?

    Yes, it is an indication of BH’s outlook on the Insurance Industry. The industry is so vibrant, he has to the massive profits he makes in insurance and put it to work paying bargain pricing for other industry ventures.
