After a few week’s of wondering why I cannot tun on the tube without sees Berkshire’s (BRK.A) Chairman on it either in an interview or an a soap, it appears I am not the only one.
Now, is this a bad omen for shareholders? I do not think so. I think is will eventually tarnish Buffett’s legacy. Why? The more you saw and the more you predict to more people to more likely you are to be wrong. When that inevitably happens, some folks will seize on it and attempt to define him with it..
Buffett’s is also starting to be accused of “talking his book”. That is never a good thing and it then casts a shadow on everything you say from being “analytical” to perhaps trying to influence the results of one’s investments publicly. In the past Buffett was heard from once or twice a year and what he said was gospel. I have notice lately that his proclamations are beginning to be lumped in with the rest of the “noise” out there.
Where he the company’s “former” chairman and not running the book, none of this would be a big deal at all. But, since he is, there are more mumbling’s out there.
It is only a matter of time that the books start coming out now that he is giving them fodder on almost a daily basis…
