Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway Hikes DIRECTV Stake By $738M, Cuts J&J By $545M

I canceled DireccTV the day i heard this pukephuk loser just added a bunch more stocks of Direct a couple of weeks ago. Xfinity was cheaper and just as good anyways. Cancel your DirectTV and give good ole Warny a bad 2012.

My DirecTV bill just had an increase of over 6%. Hmmmm.

while im obviously not a rocket scientist (mostly because i'm reading these comments) i implore the vast majority here: please read an economics book, understand a balance sheet (and hopefully an income statement too), learn about financial markets, read a Buffett book or two, study some tax policy, all before commenting here. how can we as US citizens wonder why we are non competitve in the global economy when we display our idiocy openly and our lack of value wantonly

Anything else going on today in the world markets besides yours truly......

Reduction in cost for technology (the computing power of an iPad2 would have cost 360 years of average wages in 1982).

Who gives a sh.t!!

What Americans are slow to accept - if at all - is that w/out a form of the "BUFFETT RULE" being emplaced, there's absolutely 0 - none - nada chance that the US Repub. tax cut disaster won't continue to weaken the nation and the VAST majority of its people.

He buys the good stuff from Columbia. No seeds, really smooth

Is that old blow hard still on his obama meds-I wish I was his secretary-the highest paid secretary in the world and part of the one percent-look it up folks! Simplify the tax code, get rid of loopholes for all and lower all rates and make everybody pay some amount no matter how small. The rich and corporation would pay more than they do today even with a lower rate because the GE of the world would actually have to pay and so would joe blow making 20,000 with 4 kids-even if it's 10 dollars. Buttfit would be paying the highest rate without the loopholes even if was a 25% top rate it would be way more than he pays today and he wouldn't need all those expensive lawyers to fight the IRS. Win, win no class warfare, more government revenue butt and this is a big butt-We've got to cut spending-we've got to take some collective pain to grow our economy and create jobs-we can't bailout failures and we can't afford the Fed kicking the inevitable can down the road to this pain-it only will make it much worse!

He is th only wealthy man that I could respect. Why are you people soooo blind and stupid?

Warren Buffett is nothing more than a con man and a hypocrite. He cries about how the "rich" don't pay enough taxes, then he structures HIS portfolio to pay the absolute least taxes possible. Not to mention the MANY sweetheart deals he's gotten due to his relationship with Obozo. He loves to talk about his "modest" home and office--failing to mention his $25 million home in Pebble Beach. Phony, lying, hypocrite. No wonder Yahoo loves to talk about him incessantly.

He is still alive? Most of obama supporters died years ago, but still voted.

I don't know if others said it already, but to answer the title of this article "What Buffett Has Been Buying" - is simply - "A President", who is in Buffett's pocket - and vice versa.

If this man truly believes he's too rich and pays too little taxes, then let him abandon his company and fortune and send a check to the IRS. After all, his buddy Obama said at some point he's made enough money, and that must also apply to his shareholders. Hypocrite.

Exackly but Robert beat me to, it the price of a gallon of gasoline and diesel have killied the USA economy so gives a sh.::t about buffet.

As if all the spending and problems in the tax code were the absolute fault of Obama and non other, as if Bush didn't had friends in Wall Street. Those who blame just one president for the US economy disgrace, are shmucks.

Cant that old codger just go away? Im tired of hearing from him.

Buffett has been buying windmills. He is such a bag of wind he believes he can generate enough wind power to provide energy for the midwest.

why would such and old man still be interested in money? unless he has a clone giving him new body parts, it will be GAME OVER soon...

He buys what the corrupt politicians tell him to buy based on insider information. Why else do you think he is kissing Obama's rear so much?
