DislikedYes...
And news bring short term vs. long term takers:
"Warren Buffett tells CNBC that the decision to pay $4.5 billion for a majority stake in Marmon is a "very large bet on America over a long period of time."
But as Mr. Buffet says
-"buy when everybody is selling and vice versa"
-"you cannot make 1 child in 1 month by impregnating 9 women" LOLLLLIgnored
DislikedBuffett is lying, that company's got a huge presence in China. He also said he isn't going to buy any banks, and they've all called him to offer him a stake.Ignored

DislikedIndeed he sold Petro China, at a premium! He walked away laughing. Guess what, when the bubble bursts in China, he'll be one of the first to be back in buying.Ignored
DislikedNot arguing with that, we agree. Just saying it is not that simple as saying "Buffett is buying China and selling US" - because it never is that black & white.Ignored

Dec. 26 (Bloomberg) -- The dollar may fall 20 percent to 95 yen in 2008 as a housing slump erodes U.S. corporate earnings and consumer spending, forcing the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates, according to Mitsubishi UFJ Securities Co.
``The adjustment in the U.S. housing market has just begun,''' Kazuo Mizuno, chief economist in Tokyo at the unit of Japan's largest publicly traded lender, said in an interview today. ``It will probably bottom out in three or four years. Meantime, this will keep buffeting consumption, employment and the dollar.''
Mizuno's forecast is among the most bearish, with the median estimate of 42 economists for the dollar to fall 3 percent to 110 yen next year. The U.S. currency this year dropped 4 percent as the Federal Reserve cut its benchmark interest rate by 1 percentage point to support the economy.Ignored
Disliked95 yen!!! Wow, that would be something. I don't really agree with the housing market forecast. 4 years sounds like too much.Ignored
