I mean. Warren Buffett is the oracle of Omaha and he is usually very good with prediction..

why don't people invest in companies that Warren invest in? Does he keep it secret or something?

you can buy exactly what he is holding .
There is a mutual funding that holds the exact holdings.

Berkshire a or B

Some do, but you can't duplicate his success by buying his stocks. he also invests in bonds, preferred stocks, whole companies, foreign currency, commodities, etc.

Also, a very important point is that Buffett makes these investment using float (mostly from his insurance operations) which gives him no cost leverage.

Most of his stock holding are made public with Berkshire Hathaway's SEC filings. However there is a time delay.

Why don't people buy stocks that Warren Buffet buys?

I think all of of us!

Respectfully…who cares?

It's only worthless money, anyway. for those who insist on believing in our currency, convert your investments to T-bills, bonds, and cash accounts.

Liquidity is good…

Let the bad businesses fail.

edit: excellent points, kozzmO, thank you.

We as American's are all paying in some way or another, even if you don't own stock or have a 401K

We lost a trillion dollars of imaginary wealth today to scare people into allowing downright extortion — Bush's last great heist. Stay strong, people! Keep your elected representative saying no way, no how, to corporate and cartel extortion. you all gave in to Drill Drill Drill, don't fold on this one America.

Ah well, we had a chance to pass the bailout bill and both Republicans and Democrats voted no.

Every last one of us. my fiance and I don't have any Credit Cards or Mortgages, we work hard for the money we do make just to give it right away we will never be able to afford a house I'm now 35 weeks pregnant and screwed!

If you lived in a small town with a rich person who lived in a mansion at the end of town, and suddenly that rich person lost his fortune and went broke, would you pretend to be even broker just because they used to be rich?

That 1.2 trillion wasn't lost, it simply ceased to exist because of investors who panic and sell their holdings making its value plummet. The money was ultimately lost by the people owning the companies, not you. Unless you had stock in them.

That reduces the overall "wealth" of the American economy somewhat but that doesn't affect anybody directly except as it reduces or restricts credit and cash flow. which the Federal Reserve has already taken steps to counter by increasing the money supply and the amount of short-term loans available to banks. It is the standard approach to devaluation and the Fed should have done it a while ago, instead of badgering congress to waste money on making it disappear.

As for bad mortgages, show me the mortgage that isn't backed by the house that's mortgaged. It's not just that the mortgages went bad, it's that real estate was overvalued, so that when the mortgages were defaulted the mortgaged properties were too cheap for the holders to get their money back. It happened not because of subprime mortgages, but because there were way too many of them. no lender has any excuse for that. The banks are out the money, and that's that.

It remains to be seen whether other Americans will notice that they, in fact, are NOT broke, only that part of Wall Street is. Will people be sensible, or will they act like Gilligan waiting on Mr. Howell hand and foot just 'cause he's supposed to be rich?

The idea behind the panic is that the failure of finance corporations will cause credit to freeze up. Last time I checked, loans started with the Federal Reserve which is lending at 2 percent cheap. If the good banks are still scared to lend, then the Fed will just make it even cheaper. Not an inflation risk until money actually starts flowing again.

<response to additional details> according to the Federal Reserve's latest estimates, the total "wealth" of the United States is just over 55 trillion dollars. 1.2 trillion is a couple percent of that. It wasn't everybody's money. my money wasn't in those stocks.

Normally, a devaluation and reduction of the money supply like this should cause deflation making my cash holdings worth more, the government seems desperate to avoid this though.

Key word here, LOST. no one pays for that, it's gone

they should have spent the 700 billion, now we are down 1.2 trillion. by thursday they will be kicking themselves for not listening to Bush instead of that yelping wretch Pelosi.

I know my 401K is in the crapper right now.

cindy mccain is good for it

rich people and wall street lost that money because of their ' recklessness ' as they put it. serves them right.

You think right.

1.2 Trillion dollars that was lost on wall street today, who will pay for that?

Alright guys, I need your help. since I was little I always wanted to be rich. As I grew older I realized I needed to invest my money to let it work for me. So I invested my money in real estate and purchased my first place at the age of 22 in 2008, and with the money I had left over and me saving along the months I recently purchased my first investment property last month (duplex) . So this is my question to you guys. I'm trying to build a solid foundation for myself and my future family but with gov injecting trillions and trillions of dollars in are economy I'm starting to worry and thinking twice about investing in the U.S . and was thinking of investing the money that I I'm getting from the duplex into gold, silver, agriculture ect. I listen to Jim Rogers , Peter schiff, Ron Paul, and I truly believe them when it comes to investing. So what should I do ?????invest in real estate, stock, bonds ect!!!!!

Just wanna thank you in advance for taking the time answering my question…..THANK YOU!

Hello,
Sounds like you have a good head on your shoulders. PLEASE read "retire young, retire rich" by Robert Kiyosaki. he is the author of "rich dad, poor dad". I promise it will be worth your time, and you are already on the right track. Best of luck to you!

too bad you didnt put your cash in the US stock market about 5 months ago. The recession has bottomed out, and the LONGGGG recovery has begun. there will be ups and downs for the next couple yrs but the general trend will be up. I'd buy stocks now– mutual funds, etfs, "safe" individual stocks. your money, though, and you want to be able to sleep at night.

This is my first post to the Super Stock Blog.  I am the Stock Man and I have been a stock investor since 2003.  I’ve done frequent research into stocks using Warren Buffet techniques, Value Investing, technical and fundamental analysis, and timing (that’s right, I try to time the stock).  I will give my insights, what’s favorable, and my stock purchases which have done my quite well this year.  I have a 20% gain since January 2008.

Enjoy!
