Buffett’s Goldman Deal Has Big Benefits, but What Else is Berkshire Up To?
Investing icon Warren Buffett took his own advice Tuesday - getting “greedy when others are fearful” - when he ignored the banking-sector bonfire and slapped down a cool $5 billion for a stake in Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (GS). By literally putting his money where his mouth is, Buffett’s actions - and reputation as a shrewd bargain hunter - restored some of Goldman’s luster and helped bolster investor confidence in the U.S. banking system.
Down 24%, Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.B) Is a No-Brainer Buy
Even the most savvy investors have been stung by this year’s equity meltdown. Warren Buffett’s investment vehicle, Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:BRK.A, BRK.B), is down 24% from its peak in December 2007.
Alexander Green says BRK’s drop creates an outstanding buying opportunity. Buffett has an unrivaled track record as an investor. He has always followed a disciplined value-based strategy. And this still holds true today.
BRK.B shares are trading at $3,860, down from a 52-week high of $5,059. This makes them a no-brainer buy right now.
Berkshire Hathaway’s Mystery $3.5bn Spending Spree
With the stock market in turmoil, it’s a good time to check in on what Warren Buffett is doing with his portfolio. Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (NYSE:BRK.A, BRK.B) has struggled in the first half of the year. Money Morning’s Jason Simpkins says $3.5 billion of Berkshire’s recent $4-billion shopping spree is still unaccounted for…
Penny Stocks Can Turn You Into the Next Warren Buffett
If you want to invest like Warren Buffett, you have to think very small says Jim Nelson in Penny Sleuth.
Buffett’s investment vehicle, Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:BKR.A), made its best gains in the ’70s and ’80s, when its tight budget meant it could only investment in small-caps. It is much easier to make huge gains when starting from a low base.
Berkshire now deals with the world’s largest organizations. The next Buffett will be investing in today’s penny stocks. More from Jim…

King of Fears
It’s a sign of the times for an American icon to fall into the hands of a cash-rich foreign buyer. There is a lot of emotion here, as the harsh words of 30-year employee Dave Liszweski show. But there are some pragmatic lessons for investors, too.
InBev’s BUD Deal Makes It the Largest Brewer in China
Anheuser-Busch (BUD:NYSE) has agreed to the takeover terms by InBev (INB:EBR)
Iwrin Greenstien in Taipan Daily says BUD failed to fend off the bid because it ignored emerging markets.
Whatever the reason for BUD falling into foreign hands, the deal is a steal at $52 billion, says Taipan Daily’s Sara Nunnally. And just in time for the Biejing Olympics it makes InBev China’s number one brewer thanks to BUD’s 27 percent stake in Tsingtao.
InBev Finally Woos Anheuser-Busch with Higher Offer, Top Billing
InBev (INB) Is a Great Play on One of the World’s Steadiest Trends
When times are hard consumers cut back on luxury items. But they don’t cut back on beer.
On Sunday Anheuser-Busch (BUD) accepted a $49.9 billion takeover bid from Belgian-based InBev (INB). This consolidation in the market has sent brewery stocks rallying while US benchmark indexes tumble.
If the takeover goes through, Ian Davis in The Growth Stock Wire says InBev will be the undisputed leader in the global market. This is not only a safe option during an economic downturn, but it’s also a great way of investing in emerging markets…
