Hi G,
Hope you held the brk for awhile. And I hope you are kidding about the shadiness. I would never have believed it after being a loyal brk drone for 15 years but I have seen enough the last 2 years. Talking the market down and talking about nuclear war after what happened in Sept is enough. The kirby subsidiary feeds off selling very expensive vacuums to low income households. There is his behavior on options. In 1980, he was pounding the table although pe's were nearly this high and rates were 4x higher. Why then and not now....? Because he had already bought in 1974. He is a true vulture, and since this is the vulture business, he is the biggest winner.
Oh and the smoke signals part..how true! But he was one of a handful involved in the seed money for INTC. Incredible but true...
He has close friends at ABC, Fortune and The Post. He owns the Buffalo News..this news on Atjit Jain's "brilliance" won't get spread too far. Just as the Kirby lawsuit headlines got smashed too
