Oxford Club bets on Buffett
2009-05-11 15:00:00 Growth stocks expert Alexander Green sees long-term upside potential for conservative investors willing to invest along side on Warren Buffett. Here, the investment director of the industry-leading The Oxford Club reviews Berkshir-e Hathaway (NYSE: BRK.B), a holding in his model portfolio."The market surprised investors with the magnitude of its drop over the last year and a half. Then it surprised them again with a furious rally that began in early March. "What lies just ahead? No one knows for sure, of course. But we do know several investments that are attractively priced at current levels."Let’s start with a conservative choice: Berkshire Hathaway, run by investment great Warren Buffett. "Buffett summed up 2008 perfectly when he said in his annual report, 'By year end, investors of all stripes were bloodied and confused, much as if they were small birds that had strayed into a badminton game.'"Yet – l...
A Denver Buffett
2009-02-26 09:06:00 (Artist credit: Dan Mackin)I've been having dreams lately of soft white sand beaches, turquoise waters as far as the eye can see, and gently swaying palm trees. In these dreams, I'm in a kayak on the water that looks, if you're standing on the shore looking my way, like I'm flying just above the water. You know how that looks in some pictures? The water is so clear and from a distance, a kayak or a boat can look like it's flying? I also dream of whales, dolphins, manta rays, and manatees in this perfect little world I envision while sleeping. One of of these days, I hope it will not be a dream but actual real life moments I can experience and treasure.Perhaps these dreams are being inspired by the fact that I've taken another round at reading Jimmy Buffett's books. Tales from Margaritaville, Where is Joe Merchant, A Pirate Looks at Fifty, and A Salty Piece of Land. That last book is my favorite.I also have had John Denver on my mind. Grew up with his music and it alw...

"The company will issue preferred stock to the U.S. Treasury at an annual rate of 5% for five years, increasing to 9% per year thereafter if the company has not redeemed the shares.

Interesting comments from Warren Buffett on the stock market
2008-10-10 19:41:00 I came across this from a colleague and found it interesting. Just as in Real Estate, generally the smart investors do the opposite of the market. They buy when the market is low and sell when it is high. With the stock market showing you its typical volatility we need to revisit our Real Estate investments. Although Real Estate has been tough the last few years, it is still tangible and a necessity. A piece of stock is not necessary. You have to live somewhere. In addition, Real Estate is very slow moving. This historical week shows you how crazy the stock market is. Real estate may drop 10% in 1 year, but the market can drop almost 10% in 1 day!!!!!Do know, I don't have an exact source of this quote. So please don't take this as 100% factual, but it came from a reliable source.

Time to bet on Buffett: A 'no-brainer'

In the Oxford Insight (http://www.thestockadvisors.co-m/ccount/click.php?id=2340), the Oxford Club Investment Director explains, "It is now time to buy the 'ultimate no-brainer'." Here's his assessment."Despite this strong long-term performance, Buffett experienced a rare earnings letdown during the second quarter of this year. "Although revenue increased 10% to $29.3 billion, insurance related write-downs hurt the company’s bottom line. Still, the shortfall was far from cataclysmic. For the quarter, earnings fell 7.6% to $2.88 billion."Despite the shortfall, ...

The United States is “already in recession ? perhaps not in the sense that economists would define it [with two consecutive quarters of declining gross domestic product (GDP)] but the people are already feeling the effects,” Buffett said. “It will be deeper and last longer than many think.” As Money Morning reported back in March, Buffett made a similar pronouncement to U.S. audiences during an interview with the…SHARETHIS.addEntry({- title: "Warren Buffett, the ?Oracle of Omaha,?

Commenting on the US economy, the 77-year-old investor who is known as the "Sage of Omaha," stressed that fiscal, monetary and trade policies were of great importance.

Mr. Buffett said. He added that ?lenders and investors who were dumb enough to deal in subprime mortgages should not receive any special help,? but if homeowners were deceived about the terms of an adjustable mortgage, they should be helped. I completely agree, but I'm still curious what happened with his plan to start a financial guarantor company. Originally when AMBAC and MBIA were taking heat for their subprime exposure and writedowns there was talk of Buffett bailing one out or starting his own under the Berkshire Hathaway name.

If his measurement of intrinsic value is 25 per cent higher than the extant market capitalisation, Buffett sees value. Sounds easy, doesn't it?Well, Buffett's success, depends on his unmatched skill in accurately determining this intrinsic value. While we can outline some of his criteria, we have no way of knowing exactly how he gained such precise mastery of calculating value.Buffett is a focus-investor, preferring narrow portfolio with a high concentration of FMCG and consumer brands, along with interests in insurance.His holding company, Berkshire Hathaway is the biggest insurer in the world.

He still lives in his three bedroom house bought 50 years ago which he claims to have everything he needs, drives his car himself to office and travels in commercial planes (he owns the largest Air Line company). He firmly believes that people should not spend money for unnecessary things. At the age of 6, he bought 6 coca cola packs from his grandmaâs shop for 25 cents and resold them for nickel to gain 5 cents profit. Five years later he invested some money in stock market which taught him his first lesson of investments. Since then, his voyage to become the richest man on earth was unstoppable.Recently he gifted 31 billion to charity, biggest gift ever to be given. The most beautiful thing about this man is not his simplicity but his generousness. He has planned to give away 85% of his wealth for those who need it more through Bill &...
