In October, 2008 I toyed with the idea of just putting my core holdings in BRK.B and put in a limit order at $4,000.00 per share and it expired unfilled but within a few dollars of that limit. I continued to trade my own account and BRK.B is $3,405.97 as I type this. So why does everyone bow to the oracle of Omaha? In the last 12 months, he is down 3.65% and the year to date is up 6.1% or roughly one third of the total market index.

An 11% gain in the value of an American Dollar traded stock is no great investment, considering that the value of the US buck has depreciated by more than 11% during that same period. In a reasonable person's view, that is a loss. Right?
I am continually amazed at the limited, local view of American analysts who absolutely refuse to see the big picture and believe that the USA is the center of the universe.
