I'll take another 100 great companies like Lubrizol!
Believe me, the more the merrier my portfolio of Berkshire-Hathaway stock gets.

...and did David Sokol's name come up?
This deal has done real damage to the BH brand and Buffett's image. |

It was terrific! Friends and family mostly filled my time in Omaha, Nebraska the Cradle of Capitalism! ![]() This LUBRIZOL acquisition just makes me giddy as all get out! I love it when fabulous companies in their industry LIKE Lubrizol are bought by BERKSHIRE-HATHAWAY INC. lock, stock, and barrel! I've been on the road for weeks now, just lovin' the relaxing travel aspect of being free as a bird. It would be terrible to have to spend all my time working, or somesuch. Ha! DON'T GET ME WRONG, WORKING IS NOT A FOUR LETTER WORD, NOR FOREIGN TO ME! WORK, AND PERSONAL ACHIEVEMENT IS WHAT MAKES ME TICK! THE MONEY IT PRODUCES DRIVES ME TO DO MORE WORK, WHICH==MORE MONEY! THE MORE MONEY, THE BETTER! ![]() Skid Row Joe
