The Great One Strikes Again: February 18th, 2010

February 18, 2010 – 2:48 am

As of today, Burlington Northern (BNI) is no longer a publicly traded company. Kudos to you Warren.

In light of these events, I read up Buffett’s profile on Wikipedia for kicks. Did you know when he filed his taxes for the first time from his newspaper route as a child, he wrote off his bicycle and watch as a business expense?

It must be comical to be Warren Buffett. His daily conversations may go a little something like this:

Jmoon: OMG MR. BUFFETT! IT IS MY HONOR TO FINALLY MEET YOU!

Warren: Well thank you, that is quite flattering. So how are you doing today?

Jmoon: Just fine. Yourself?

Warren: Eh…I felt like buying a railroad company.
