Buffett Buying Again

Warren Buffett is buying again, just when others are selling. Bloomberg has this article. My favorite bit of the article:
Imitating the 77-year-old Buffett, who built Omaha, Nebraska-based Berkshire over four decades into a $210 billion company, has been a profitable strategy in the past. Buying what he bought, even months after his purchases, delivered twice the return of the Standard & Poor's 500 Index during the last three decades, according to a study last year by the American University, Washington and University of Nevada, Las Vegas.
Twice the S&P for three decades - I cannot even think of a comparable sports record. That is really an astonishing record.

How about single-handedly losing 5 Billion EURO! Hat's off to mon ami Jerome Kerviel of Societe Generale. Make's all you traders that have blown out feel a lot better doesn't it? C'est la vie!
