Everybody knows why I strongly disagree with Warren Buffett and Mark
Carney EH? Small wonder that the Wall Street Journal now blocks my
comments in their blogs. Hell most of the big Media dudes except those
in New Brunswick News are employed by publiclly held companies. No
wonder none of them will ever mention my name or what i did seven
years ago. All the greedy bastards are worried about keeping their own
damned jobs and pensions as the ecomomy goes into a tailspin. to hell
with their fellow common man CORRECT?

TORONTO, March 12 /CNW/ - Gloomy politicians and frightened economists
continue to warn that the world could be slipping into another Great
Depression. But behind the steady drumbeat of chilling economic numbers and
staggering job losses, some of the world's most sophisticated and
successful investors are beginning to see signs of hope, and perhaps even the first
stages of a turnaround. This week in Maclean's, senior writer Jason Kirby
cuts through the confusion and gloom to explain why Warren Buffett, Mark Carney and
others are making the case for optimism.

MUCH TO CHUCKY LEBLANC'S CHAGRIN NEED I SAY BULLSHIT ONCE AGAIN???

It certainly appears that I am not alone in that thinking EH?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warren_Buffett

Buffett ran into criticism, [30] during the subprime crisis of
2007–2008, part of the late 2000s recession, that he has allocated
capital too early resulting in suboptimal deals.

Buffett has called the 2007—present downturn in the financial sector
"poetic justice".[31]

Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway suffered a 77% drop in earnings during Q3
2008 and several of his recent deals appear to be running into large
mark-to-market losses.[32]

Berkshire Hathaway acquired 10% perpetual preferred stock of Goldman
Sachs at $123[33] only for it to fall to below $60. Furthermore some
of Buffett's Index put options (European exercise at expiry only) that
he wrote (sold) are currently running around $6.73 billion
mark-to-market losses.[34] The scale of the potential loss prompted
the SEC to demand that Berkshire produce, "a more robust disclosure"
of factors used to value the contracts.[34]

Buffett also helped Dow Chemical pay for its $18.8 billion takeover of
Rohm & Haas. He thus became the single largest shareholder in the
enlarged group with his Berkshire Hathaway, which provided $3 billion,
underlining his instrumental role during the current crisis in debt
and equity markets.[35]

In October 2008, the media reported that Warren Buffett had agreed to
buy General Electric (GE) preferred stock, when it was trading in the
mid 20s of dollar.[36] The operation included extra special
incentives: he received an option to buy 3 billion GE at $22.25 in the
next five years and also received a 10% dividend (callable within
three years). However, shortly after, GE gave up tens of billions in
market capitalization and just bounced off a low of $8.80 in February
23, 2009, a price that has not been seen in over a decade. GE's stock
price continued to fall after that point, and by early May, for
example, it had declined to a 18 year low. Events like these have
prompted a wave of criticism against Berkshire Hathaway and Warren
Buffett. In February 2009, Warren Buffett unloaded part of Procter &
Gamble Co and Johnson & Johnson shares from his portfolio.[37]

Some have claimed that there is a financial incentive for Berkshire
Hathaway to keep the myth that Buffett is an “oracle” alive and that
the company is dependent on the Warren Buffett myth: that exaggerated
sense of comfort investors share when it comes to Buffett’s beliefs
and recommendations.[38] In addition to suggestions of mistiming,
questions have been raised as to the wisdom in keeping some of
Berkshire's major holdings including The Coca-Cola Company (NYSE:KO)
which in 1998 peaked at $86. Buffett discussed the difficulties of
knowing when to sell in the company's 2004 annual report: "That may
seem easy to do when one looks through an always-clean, rear-view
mirror. Unfortunately, however, it’s the windshield through which
investors must peer, and that glass is invariably fogged."[39] In
March 2009, Buffett stated in a cable television interview that the
economy had "fallen off a cliff... Not only has the economy slowed
down a lot, but people have really changed their habits like I haven't
seen."[40] Additionally, Buffett fears we may revisit a 1970s level of
inflation, which led to a painful stagflation that lasted many
years[1].


For the record after I heard enough nonsense on the radio today I
called Buffett and Carney's offices again and lots of you people too
Correct? trust that you latest president Rob Moir the wannabe NDP MP
knows everything but he and his politcal cohorts think I that am not
worth talking to EH Graham Steele?

Whenever I call the number quoted above a voicemail goes through a big
spiel about the Fed's website and then simply hangs up so as usual I
called Carney's local dudes and his spokespersons for good measure.
These federal emploees either played dumb or promptly told me that
they only talk to the members of the media non Citizens of Canada. Go
figure why I am so pissed off as you read my next emails and study
their attachments. Better yet why not call the Rogers and CBC talkshow
dudes and talk about what an arsehole I am right after you call your
lawyer.

Erindi:

How many protests etc do the people in Iceland and around the world
participate in before someone acts within the scope of their employment
and asks me some ethical questions? Are you waiting to the RCMP and
Stevey Boy Harper to get rid of me?

May I suggest that someone pick up the damned phone and call me back?
