He's since moved on to the far more lucrative role of inside investor. It's not hidden nor even particularly evil. It just isn't in keeping with the old reputation of astutely recognizing value. The railroad deal(s) were in anticipation of favorable carbon trading tax advantages. Now that Climategate is threatening the plan I expect some other in kind allowances to make the investment profitable. Buffet has been a smart investor.

I'll grant you leeway on the GS deal -- maybe. If you think the railroad deal was via inside info, I'd love to here the specifics. There's not much about them that's not easily accessible. Surely you're not wanting me to extrapolate from your take on BK's GS deal that it's always been insider info. :) Robert — Can’t believe I did that, thanks.

He made a ton with GS. He'll make another ton with his choo-choo. Don't mistake front running social policies via inside information with smart investing. BTW it is "Berkshire Hathaway." Take it from someone who grew up in the Berkshires. Buffett made a carbon play in much the way he made a finance play with Goldman Sachs. He made a ton with GS.

He also said that if Algebra was required to be an investor, then he would still be delivering papers! Point is, don't make it more complex than it needs to be.

Last update was that we are more likely than not to be up and running next week. Fingers/toes crossed. A subscription site, it turns out, is far more complex than I ever suspected.
