two things about CNBC - I wish they didn't break the interview into so many parts and secondly, use a format so people can watch on an iPhone (or Apple should buy Adobe).

 

Enjoy

love this quote, classic buffett

 

He said he was also given some hormones, so "occasionally I get some hot flashes. We males call those power surges, actually."

[Yours Truly]

Interesting..

 

"Buffett said he's "salivating" at the prospect of buying some companies after two potential $20 billion acquisitions fell through earlier this year over disagreements on price. Berkshire has $40 billion in cash on hand, but prices are difficult right now, he said, and Berkshire won't get into bidding wars.

He's planning to look at the financials of a $6 billion company he's been offered, but he didn't name that potential acquisition.

Banks business model has two factors: Return-on-assets (ROA) and assets-to-equity (leverage).

Return on assets won't go up.  WFC earns 1.4%-1.5% ROA and USB does 1.7%.  This won't change.

In the past, (some) banks had 20x assets to equity.  With an ROA of 1.5%, 20x leverage gives you a ROE of 30%.  This won't happen in the future.

Banks used to earn 25% return on tangible equity and that's a crazy number.  We won't be going back to that.

My take from it: those chairs look awfully uncomfortable!

 

 

Oh, and, don't shoot me here, him mentioning good farms and good rentals sure sound a lot like Kyle Bass and some others.    Did he previously use these two examples?

Yea Buffett has mentioned these examples before... especially the farm one for years.
