Re: buffett's quote says it all...

that shit is scary

although buffett will still come out on top of this when the smoke clears....oh how i wish i had the money to throw at Goldmans right now

Re: buffett's quote says it all...

Yeah, people are just waiting to see how far some stocks will fall and moreover if the prospect of any value in said stocks in the future, unless you like grinding it out minute by minute watching the ticker, I will avoid the binge drinking and substance abuse necessary to cope with the current stock market by waiting a bit.

Re: buffett's quote says it all...

hmmm, i really doubt buffett will hop on his bike and start delivering newspapers. the guy's just too old

Good lord, dude, why on earth would you want to do that?

Re: buffett's quote says it all...

I feel like Buffet has become the spokesman for the bailout. He is everywhere.

Re: buffett's quote says it all...

Re: buffett's quote says it all...

it sure has been profitable being the spokesman for the bailout it seems..

Re: buffett's quote says it all...

well, if he does start working as a paperyboy, all the assholes talking about 'income inequality' can finally shut thier fucking mouths.

of course, even then, it wouldn't be fair that buffet had a job while others don't. i guess this will never be resolvd.

Re: buffett's quote says it all...

wow miro for you being some smarty pants you sure are daft.. you think that Buffet hasn't made a killing just in interviews and investments that he has made. I'm sure the $13 billion he invested into Golman and GE isn't in his best interests.. I'm sure he got the best of the deal.. and with press like this;

Doesn't sound like the media isn't giving him a vote of confidence.. everywhere else it is panic street but with Buffet he is a breath of fresh air isn't he.. no silly miro he is manipulating the market in his favor.. we are all pawn of kings.. Buffet is a king right now..
