Warren Buffet 6 billions strategy ?

Follow up on a concern if Warren Buffet's era may come to an end soon posted in August 2011, the figures are now out and considered as 'correct' as calculated by Forbes ...

Steven who works in Forbes has calculated that Warren Buffet is officially the BIGGEST MONEY LOSER, at an amount of USD 6 billions.  But this is not the first time Warren Buffet going through this kind of challenge.  He has always come back up stronger for the past 8 times but can he makes it again this round ?

There are 2 key distinct differences in his challenges today.

  1. His age : Warren has come to a stage that he would give everything he has, back to the country or people he loves truly.  Business ( Berkshire Hathaway ) is surely something he hold on to very strongly but NOT necessary to all the investors themselves.  If one day he realizes 'most' of the investors in his business is no longer 'his investors' like last time, he may just pull the plug.  After all, as far as his business is concerned, a successor plan is already in place.
  2. When USA gets into trouble by its own doing in the past, everyone forgive him because he is the  ONLY entity who can fix the situation.  There were NO ONE ELSE we could keep our hopes on except USA itself.  Hence, we always go back and work with USA politely.  Today, although still without an apparent replacement for such a giant over the centuries ... but there are clear candidates for many to put their hopes onto.  Hence, almost no one is expecting USA to fix anything today, not even their own citizen.  This ... is also something that hasn't happen in the past, at least not to this scale.

Having said all that, my bet is that Warren will come back up stronger than ever because
  1. Today's indicators shows that whoever already in the market and want to continue to stay in the market would need a staying power of about 1.5 years.  BH has no problem with this requirement because of their low operation cost.
  2. Warren doesn't really love anyone else more than BH.  But as indicated above, Warren doesn't love his investors as much as he used to, simply because his today's investors are rather different now.
  3. Warren needed a good bye event . . . well, to say good bye.  And this is NOT it !

21st century trick ...

Once upon a time, there was a gasoline called 97. The cost of this item was $1.80. One day, the governing body wanted to increase the price to $2.10. However, the governing body knows that if they simply increase price, that will affect their popularity. Which in turn affect their eligibility to continue to be governing body in next election. Hence they come up with a perfect idea. They first introduce another brand called 95. Actually this is a much lower quality product than 97. In short, 97 simply means there is at least 97% of pure petrol in the gasoline. On the other hand, 95 only has 95% purity. However, they push out 95 as if it is a better quality product. They even add some 'addictive' into 95 to justify their claim its a better product. It was presented in a way that 95 will replace 97, and stay at the same price at $1.80 More than 90% of the consumer fall for it. Hence the transition of 97 to 95 went through smoothly. Majority of the consumers pay the ...

What is really important in Personal Finance Planning ?

There is a great video I have seen in LCF  where he talks about Insurance Investment Retirement Tax Estate Planning Although I may not agree to all points but it is actually quite good and all points presented professionally. Some of my pondering points 5-6% investment cost is NOT LOW Actually whether an investment cost is low or not is always relative.  For example, if you are paying 20-30% to others to manage your portfolio then it is lower to find one that is 5-6%.  Likewise, paying 1-2% fee when you manage your own investment is common.   So it is really a matter of your money vs your time.  If you pay more fee, you would expect better services just like any other things in life. Thousands of saving on tax can be compounded to millions While its true you could save on tax but usually its not in a huge magnitude.  To save thousands in tax, you probably have a certain amount of much bigger income to start with.   Its more toward FREE money vs ignora...

Resep Membuat Arem Arem Isi Ayam Wortel Special

Arem Arem Isi Ayam Wortel - Arem-arem merupakan makanan serupa kue lemper yang digulung dengan daun pisang lalu diberi isi sambal goreng, sosis, mie goreng, ayam wortel dan sambal goreng. Untuk daun pisang, sebaiknya bunda memakai daun pisang kluthuk supaya hasil bungkusannya bagus saat dikukus. Dan sebelum daun pisang diberi nasi dan isi, hendaknya bunda menjemur daun pisang terlebih dahulu sekitar lima sampai sepuluh menit supaya daun pisang tidak robek saat diberi nasi dan isiannya.  Jika melihat sekilas, arem arem dengan lontong pasti akan terlihat sama karena sama sama dibungkus dengan daun pisang lalu di kukus sampai matang. Namun jika kita melihatnya dengan lebih teliti lagi maka akan terlihat jelas perbedaan arem-arem dengan lontong.
