I was curious if anyone thinks Warren Buffet will buy Dow Jones & Company?

The reason I ask: It seems to fit Buffet's idea of a "durable competative advantage"; even though newspaper's in general are loosing readerships, it seems that wall street journal is a durable name that will stick around for decades to come. And Berkshire might make a good fit for the Bancroft family who are concerned with Murdoch tinkered with the editorial side. Buffet typically likes companies that run themselves and typically does not get involved in running the busnesses aquired.

Also in an interview on Charlie Rose, while Buffet dismissed his interest by suggesting he "watches" a lot of things, I picked up on his acknowledgement that wall street journal has that key quality buffet looks for, "a durable competative advantage".

Any thoughts?

I don't see that happening but Warren doesn't tell me what's on his 'hit' list.

Will Warren Buffet (BRKa) purchase the Wall Street Journal?

I understand you make money off dividends, but when someone like Warren Buffet says he likes to buy and hold forever, how does his net worth go up so much, besides it being an asset…I mean from a liquid perspective if he doesn’t sell his stocks, and ignoring dividends, how else do you make money? Is his all from Berkshire?

How do you make money on stocks if you never sell them? Like with Warren Buffett, besides the dividends??
