Buffet wants to be the modern 'House of Morgan.'

Eerie similarities to today.

No . . . actually not similiar at all. The only similarity between propping up other banks and buying a railroad is that money is exchanged. - - -

Totally right, Buffet is buying because he thinks its cheap, not to support the system. I don't know if he would support the system if it needed it, he would buy companies that he perceived had value.

Buffet has open naked puts. He bought a company from himself and tried to weasel Berkshire into the sp. He will die choking on a big mac.

You do mean short puts, right? By chance, do you know what the strike and expiration is on those puts?

He has thrown a hail mary...

“It doesn’t mean we’re out of business, but it does mean that we won’t be making any huge deals for a while,” Buffett told the network today. He said earlier this year the company needs at least $10 billion in cash to be ready for unforeseen events such as catastrophe claims at its insurance units.
