The picture comes from a vintage trailer ad which certainly evokes feelings of community. Somewhere along the line that ideal got swallowed up by suburban housing tracts.
"The company owns 129,710,000 ounces of silver. Its first purchase was made on July 25, 1997 and its most recent purchase was made on January 12, 1998."
You can verify the silver price for the period if you'd like...
On May 6, 2006 Buffet told shareholders he had sold all the company's silver. This would be hard to prove today (thanks to the memory hole), but fortunately a blogger copied and pasted the original reuters article here:
....it may be the Greek civil war for this generation, though it will be fascists once again being opposed....and from Germany.
It will be called the Second American Revolution.
It's going on now.
Coming soon to a neighborhood near you!
slabs, yeah. Do they have basements?
I was wondering the same thing, because apparently I am a "basement economist".
I think they have wheels
Sounds like fun! Even a community house. Sign me up.
Oh, wait...
LOL - you noticed

williambanzai7 nuff' said.
Best work yet!
Yes, superb. And profound.
As WB7 often does, this captures some of the feel of that lost, older America, when the American dream was not so nearly extinguished as now.

" vintage trailer ad " We guess so; No A/C's on the roofs. You just don't know how friendly it is RV ing.
The only clue I have is from road trip/camping holidays when I was a kid and from spending time in certain parts of The Mid-West and New England.
So, we're all amerikans now then?
Warren is talking his book
A guy who sure knows how to cook
A thousand lies told
About owning gold
Another American crook!
The Limerick King
That shit is comic gold.
Here's how smart Warren really is:

Now this is important. Buffett has never said exactly when he sold, but he said this at the time:
"I bought it very early, I sold it very early. Other than that it was perfect"
http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2006/may/08/usnews.internationalnews
Which can only mean he didn't catch the price rise of early 2006.......
The 2005 average price for silver was $7.31.

So the "Oracle" probably managed about a 50% gain on an asset that's up more than 650% in the last 10 years.
Komrad Warren lies like a dog
His folksy wisdom is a toxic fog
A contrived smile
Cunning and vile
Just like the dragon named Smaug!
Hey - if you will permit me to butcher your poetry
Komrad Warren lies like a dog
His folksy wisdom is a toxic fog
A contrived smile
A president servile
And he lives high on the hog
Nice!
Frodo lives!
The limerick king. Classic Satire. I can see it now! VIA that guy ( Sean), on " PSYCH". The Buffett/Putin ( million man march) on the
KREMlin . POOF!
