I enjoyed this so much I thought I would share it. Clipped from a Fortune Magazine Blog earlier:
Warren Buffett emailed this note to the directors of his company, Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.B), Tuesday after he heard that the U.S. Treasury sold $32 billion in 4-week bills at a yield of 0%:
“This should be bullish for Berkshire. With great foresight, I long ago entered the mattress business in a big way through our furniture operation. Now mattresses have become fully competitive as a place to put your money, and sales will soon take off.”
It certainly does underscore the cool nature of Buffett during these hard times, and a reminder of how we should all keep our heads on and look for value.
