Billionaire investor Warren Buffett’s stable of more than 70 companies had a highly profitable year, posting returns double that of the benchmark S&P 500. Two of Buffett’s biggest 2007 acquisitions: a $5 billion stake in Burlington Northern and a $1.6 billion piece of Sanofi-Aventis. Still, in his annual letter to shareholders, Buffett declared that the "party is over" in the insurance business, and told shareholders to expect profit margins to "fall significantly in 2008."
