Ha....buffet said ifff the fed were to keep rates at 0% for the next 50 yrs, Dow would go to 100,000

Stock prices rise and fall in response to interest rates for the same reason that bond prices rise and fall in response to interest rates...

 

I don't think he really cares if he gets your -50% crash, S2007S. He still has enough money, and not all of it is invested right now.

 

Warren Buffett is 85 years old. This has been a long time that he said something valuable.
At least 10 years? And now, he is saying BS, BS and again BS ! Crazy old man.
His major problem is that he just can't quit. Legendary investors stopped their career at the top (Peter Lynch, Benjamin Graham) . And Warren Buffett is becoming more and more ridiculous years after years. Maybe a new plunge for Berkshire Hattaway will stop his insanity? Sad.

And yet he keeps making money doing what's he's been doing for 50 years.

 

Japan has a demographics time bomb, they aren't even replacing themselves so that isn't a valid comparison.

I too believe that the Dow will head much higher if interest rates stay at 0% forever, but its likely to be accompanied by another large devaluation of the dollar.

 

Easy in permabull markets. Even a monkey would make money in the US during the last 7 years.
In 2007/2008, that was another story. He was so smart with his Citigroup stocks. Lol.
Short Berkshire Hattaway if you want to outperform the market for the next five years.

There are numerous other things that would happen because of zero % interest rates that would cause giant disruptions in the markets. This stuff doesn't happen in a vacuum.

Rich - even generous rich - people often tend to forget how the rest of the world lives and works and all of the moving parts necessary to maintain a healthy economy.

 

Oracle of Omaha whispering advices. "lol".

 

Anything to back your claim? Berkshire Hathaway owns diversified investments in several well known companies and numerous industries from insurance, industrials to media, food and beverages. You're practically wishing for an economic crash of gigantic proportions, just for Berkshire Hathaway's share price to dip? Might aswell stock up on guns and ammo Lol

 

Don't be naive. Sure, BH was diversified in Citigroup and others dump stocks in 2007/2008, what a genius. Same story in 2015/2016. Warren Buffett is unable to manage bear markets. The only one he could handle was the tech bubble, because old boy doesn't understand tech. What a genius. So yes, I prefer to be long everything and short Berkshire Hathaway.
