  1. I heard on PBS Friday that gas is up almost 30% from one year ago, meat (beef, pork and poultry)about 30-40 %(this is apx as I am old and forgetful) and building materials and supplies about 300%.

    Is this the edge of the sword to come. I remember the Nixon and Carter years.  Wasn't real pretty.

  2. Go to the library and check out a couple of elementary accounting books.  Read the chapters on "ratios" and you will have a good start. Get at least 2 versions as usually one will click with you more than the other.

    There are other books on just analyzing financial statements, but first you must walk then you can run.. THEN you can get Benjamin Graham's books

     

  3. Gee I wonder why someone in the healthcare field would be concerned that you are bringing in people to their apt.  What are they touching? Are you wiping down the surfaces? Are you disinfecting?  How are you keeping the virus out of the air? Hope your insurance is paid up when they get infected

  4. I agree, and I would extend this to goog as well.  but the point is that warren has never run a business, and doesnt appreciate how "technified" ALL business has become.  he has said tech is not within his circle of competence. well then retire, because all business relies on software today.  and this shut down is showing that firms which are technologically agile have moats that warren doesnt realize exist. warren is like a deer in the headlights, and a confused mind does nothing.

     

    there, I said it.  men aged 89 and 95 are past their prime.  apologies in advance

     

    I believe (Just my opinion and worth nothing) that he will wait it out as no one no how deep this mess will get and make sure Berkshire survives, then if any is left he will buy.  Who knows If the banks have enough reserves for the coming storm.

    As someone said "Patience"
