Hybrid Cars Vs. Diesel.

May 22, 2009 – Comments (12) | RELATED TICKERS: CAKE , IRBT , AVAV

I am not a giant fan of the gasoline/electric hybrid. The batteries are too expensive, the longevity of them is in question, there is the issue of what can be done with regard to recycling them and they throw off the balance of the car making them handle poorly.   [more]

Warren is a sellout!

May 02, 2009 – Comments (14) | RELATED TICKERS: BRK-A , BRK-B , CAKE

I am a great admirer of St. Warren of Omaha. How he goes about making his picks is a wonderful example to all investors. With that being said I think that his comments at his annual meeting yesterday concerning how the present administration has handled the financial crisis we not on the mark. I will admit that I think he said what he did to help market stability and help maintain, if not boost, the financial stocks held by BRK-A. I think he is not thinking past the date he forsees as that of his death, selling the future of his children and grandchildren cheap. I am usually a "glass is half full" kind of guy, but not when it comes to how our government has handled things thus far. Feel free to tear me to shreds on this one. I will feel disappointed if you don't.  [more]
