So, like many of you, I watched the BRK annual meeting (replay) as usual. It was nice to have Ajit and Greg join Buffett and Munger on the stage. Buffett and Munger both looked great, and it was good to see that duo in action again. There were a few interesting things this time. This…
What a year it’s been. Crazy. And what a crazy year it already is so far. I haven’t been posting much because there hasn’t really been much to say. Like everyone else, I am doom-scrolling and wondering when this nightmare will end. I have no particular view on how Covid will play out, so…
Not quite a whale, and pretty small investment, but interesting nonetheless. As usual, people are trying to read all sorts of things into this investment, from bullishness on Japan, bearishness on the U.S., the U.S. dollar, inflation hedge / exposure to natural resources etc. It almost feels like nobody ever reads anything Buffett writes. He…
So, with Buffett dumping airlines, JPM and not jumping into the markets in March, is he really all that bearish? His cash keeps piling up to the frustration of long time Buffett fans. March Decline First, I would have to say that the March decline was pretty quick. It crashed, and the market bounced back…
Yes, it’s a tsunami. Tsunami of liquidity. A fiscal tsunami. Both at the same time. People seem baffled at the strength of the stock market; they keep saying the market is ‘divorced from economic reality’ and things like that. Others say this is a big bubble waiting to implode. I don’t mean to argue that…
It’s been quite a few weeks since my last post. I haven’t really changed my thoughts since then, but maybe the economic impact of this will have more than a blip on the long term charts after all. So far, the economy seems to be doing much worse (or will soon) than the stock market….
So, the market has gone crazy. People ask me about the market and the impact of the COVID-19 and I keep saying it doesn’t matter. But with the market acting like this, it’s hard for people to agree with me. The markets make the news, the market creates the sentiment etc. and I can’t fight…
Munger Munger is looking and sounding great at the DJ annual meeting (I wasn’t there; just watched the video). His ‘wretched excess’ seems to be more about private equity and venture capital than the public stock market. In fact, he said that tech stocks now are not like the Nifty Fifty stocks (he mentioned Home…
People keep talking about how crazy the market is, up more than 25% this year. It’s a big year to be sure. But on the the other hand, even though the market has been decent in recent years, it hasn’t been particularly bubblicious. To put the 25% return into context, I think it’s a good…
Recently, I’ve gotten some emails asking about the blogger email updates. I googled around (again) recently for a solution and couldn’t find one, and also looked at some mass email services and they aren’t free over a certain number of subscribers. So, as has been suggested here by some over the years, I just set…
