A little tired this morning. Played "entertainment guy" for about 20 kids at my kid's 6th birthday party. The "egg relay race", "Freeze dancing", "Pin the tail on the donkey", "simon sez", all came out of the woodwork. Now this wasn't a scheduled task for yours truly, the hired help got sick due to illness. Canceled about 1 hour before the party. Fortunately, there was no initial deposit required for said help. Otherwise, I'd probably be in small claims court in the not too distant future. In any event, a good time was had by all and all of the parents seemed to think I had a big future in being a camp counselor. So I got that goin for me. One of the parents made a better point, "Richie maybe you should OWN a camp." Good idea. I will look into it. Seriously.
But I was happy to see that are pal, Terry Keenan, from Fox News and the NY Post, is paying attention. In her nice, concise article in the NY Post Business Section Sunday, "What is Behind Buffett's Burlington Buy?" She points out that maybe the "Oracle" ain't so pro-America like his nifty little comments came out in the media. Maybe he is saying, "um there is going to be RAMPANT inflation, and the dollar is in the terlet, and I want to own HARD assets like a railroad that will benefit if goods bought by foreigners (where their currencies are nice and strong and thus U.S. stuff is cheap) need to be shipped via my new railroad."
Now before you get all indignant on me, think about it. That CAN'T be going through the "Oracle's" mind? No possible way, because he LOVES America? Ok. Sure.
Oh and I am aware the market's are waaaay up again today. Be patient. Anybody want some cold pizza and ice cream cake? I have some left over. Otherwise I'm going to eat it as I watch the stock ticker.
