Warren Buffett Has Stage 1 Prostate Cancer
Flashing headlines to conclude tax day:
- BUFFETT DIAGNOSED WITH STAGE I PROSTATE CANCER
- WARREN BUFFETT SAYS NO INCIDENCE OF CANCER ELSEWHERE
- BERKSHIRE SAYS CONDITION ISN'T 'REMOTELY LIFE-THREATENING'
- BUFFETT: TESTS SHOW NO INCIDENCE OF CANCER ELSEWHERE IN BODY
CNBC adds that Buffett will start a two-month treatment course in July.
Full Berkshire press release:
To the Shareholders of Berkshire Hathaway:
This is to let you know that I have been diagnosed with stage I prostate cancer. The good news is that I’ve been told by my doctors that my condition is not remotely lifethreatening or even debilitating in any meaningful way. I received my diagnosis last Wednesday. I then had a CAT scan and a bone scan on Thursday, followed by an MRI today. These tests showed no incidence of cancer elsewhere in my body.
My doctors and I have decided on a two-month treatment of daily radiation to begin in mid-July. This regimen will restrict my travel during that period, but will not otherwise change my daily routine.
I feel great – as if I were in my normal excellent health – and my energy level is 100 percent. I discovered the cancer because my PSA level (an indicator my doctors had regularly checked for many years) recently jumped beyond its normal elevation and a biopsy seemed warranted.
I will let shareholders know immediately should my health situation change. Eventually, of course, it will; but I believe that day is a long way off.
Warren E. Buffett
And some perspectives already prepared by Carol Loomis of Fortune
Last week was the most extraordinary week in Warren Buffett's history – but he lived his business life as if this was the most normal time in the world.
As Buffett announced today, he was diagnosed with Stage I prostate cancer last Wednesday, after a biopsy the previous day. On Thursday he had a CAT scan and bone scan, with these showing that the cancer had not spread elsewhere in his body.
On that same Thursday, he and a small group had dinner with his non-cousin, entertainer Jimmy Buffett, at a new Omaha restaurant called J. Coco's. Jimmy was in town for a performance two days later.
The following day – Friday – Buffett, the elder, was host to 160 business students from such universities as MIT, University of Chicago, University of Tennessee, and Peru's Universidad del Pacifico. Following the usual routine for such visits (there are six scheduled for this school year) the students toured two Berkshire retail subsidiaries, held a two-and-a-half hour Q&A session with Buffett, and lunched at one of his favorite restaurants, Piccolo's.
The riff at Piccolo's was that Jimmy Buffett turned up for lunch, creating an instant sensation.
At Jimmy's performance next night at Century/Link Center, the first person on stage was Warren Buffett, who deadpanned a "Welcome to the Berkshire Hathaway annual meeting." Actually, the only thing dissonant about his greeting was that the Berkshire meeting, which is held at that same Center, spreads out to overflow rooms and actually draws many more people than the standing-room-only (and wildly enthusiastic) crowd that Jimmy Buffett attracted.
On Sunday Buffett caught his breath. Then, on Monday morning at 7:30 AM, he met with his doctors to discuss courses of treatment for his newly discovered illness.

will there be anymore interviews with Becky Quick or is that over now?????
Jobs(ed)
the illuminati have paraded buffett around to gain public support of a communist big govt tax system, and now he has just discovered that he is not really part of the elite and that he is a victim of toxic food/air/water just like the rest of us peasants. i hope he realizes he is just as expendable as the rest of the serfs and thinks twice before he gets used again by these assclowns
.....support of a communist big govt tax system.....
Wow, it's McCarthyism all over again. Obama is a socialist! Obama is Hitler! Obama is a communist! USSA! AmeriKa!
Isn't funny how Ronald Reagan is worshipped by the conservatives even though he raised taxes countless times and fleeced the social security accounts of the American middle class, yet Obama hints at raising taxes on the 1% and all the right-wing bootlicking lemmings (most of whom won't even be affected) suddenly start shouting some nonsense about communism? Reagan raised taxes on middle income familes to help balance his budget after cutting taxes for the rich, and the right wing worships him; Obama, on the other hand, tries to raise taxes back to their normal levels after (a) 10 years of the Bush tax cuts and (b) after the worst recession since the Great Depression and (c) after fighting two simultaneous wars and (d) after 30 years of "trickle up" economics where the rich get richer and the poor get poorer......and suddenly he's MARX or HITLER or MAO or any of the other infamous villians from history!
Repugnicants and Libertardians are so funny.
Max Fischer, Civis Mundi
hey shit face..the only "Normal" tax level is NO tax level. Marx was a waste of life. Hitler was a blood thirsty, murderer and MAO was no better. Bush, Clintong, Bush, Obama.. same boss.
The 1% (buffet rule) was a ruse. The amount it would have raked in was some ultra small ratio of the total debt.. so insignificant (not unlike your life). It was a distraction for the muppets to garner support for the camp(lain)er in chief. Buuuuuut, I gather you dont have enough grey matter in that oblong melon of yours to see that.
Not that I'm a super huge fan of Reagan..but here's his quote from his 1982 speech where he let us know taxes were being raised..
"Make no mistake about it, this whole package is a compromise."
So you see.. it wasn't just him and it wasn't just the republicans. Taxes were raised on a bi-partisan compromise. So if you're going to spout shit from the fullness of your Obama-cum filled ass..then at least get it right.
...and for the record.. the only trickle up economic systems are that of the left... where poverty trickles up. You live in a plutocracy, you dumb fuck.. if you think (or any republican for that matter) thinks we live in anything but a left aligned country, then you need to have your head examined with a hammer.
The Democrats AND the Republicans are two sides to the same coin.
We libertarians have made our pop-corn and are watching both moronic parties battle it out.
MASSIVE WRITE IN CAMPAIGN FOR RON PAUL!
hey shit face..the only "Normal" tax level is NO tax level......
Oh, of course.... the federal government shouldn't exist and society should look like a Gunsmoke re-run. Typical Ron Paul barnyard libertardian.
I learned a long time ago not to get into a vulgarity contest with a Ron Paul nut; I always lost. It's like arguing with the angriest, most cynical, most hate-filled wingnuts living in this country.
Max Fischer, Civis Mundi
"and society should look like a Gunsmoke re-run." Do you mean Chicago or Washington D.C., the two places where your anti-Constitutional local governments deprive the lawful people the right to defend themselves with arms, and thus crime flourishes?
the two places where your anti-Constitutional local governments deprive the lawful people the right to defend themselves with arms.....
Holy shit! Did the 2nd Ammendment get repealed? Why isn't this on the news?
Oh... wait.... let me guess.... another barnyard libertardian who rages against phantom enemies and phantom issues, unhinged from all reality.
The gubbermint not gonna git me guns!!
Max Fischer, Civis Mundi
rriiiiggggghhhhttttt. Go educate yourself. PLEASE.
There is NO educating a fool like Max, they don't WANT to learn the truth, because they are afraid it might conflict with whatever CURRENT TRUTH MSNBC and Daily Kos are spewing today.
You can only ridicule and humiliate them with FACTS. They won't admit you humiliated them, that would be admitting klowns like this are useful idiots. But they will know they have been biatchslapped.
Yep, and when the SHTF those like Civis Mom's Basement will be doing his best impersonation of a little girl. He'll be one of the gone even more insane "zombies" in my crosshairs. Just another example of why the goobermint should not only require photo id's to vote - THEY SHOULD REQUIRE IQ TESTS AS WELL.
Remind me again why I have to BUY A PERMIT to get a pistol? you do realize that is completely unconstitutional. That is a complete impediment to owning a gun which is my right. SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED.. plain fucking Engrish..
Oh .. so they can't seem to take our guns completely away, so they'll try to make them useless by driving out the manufacturing of guns with bullshit requirements (micro - stamping.. small cap magazines).
You know what.. I should be able to own exactly every small arms weapon that the military owns and in every configuration they operate with.
As long as I have to buy my right to own a gun and explain why other than i have a right to it.. then that right is GONE!!
See, the problem is that when something literal doesn't fit your kommie narrative.. you choose to twist and interpret. Then, when an interpretation doesn't fit.. you try to make it some literal example. You fuckers change the rules as you play the game.
FUCK THAT SHIT AND FUCK YOU..
Awwww...poor psycho had to "get a permit". Times is hard.
When did we run out of gun manufacturers again? What one product has more variety represented in the market today?
Go fuck yourself, if that limp excuse for a dick will let you, and learn to make your own weapons (or even <gasp> defend yourself without them), pussy.
What a very adult response.
My condolences to your family, Obamatron. You must be one hell of a burden for them to bear.
The point of choosing is the concept that you don't fucking grasp. Gun manufacturers have frequently stopped offering things like 10 round magazines for some weapons because it costs them too much money. So what the fuck good is a gun if I can't get a magazine for it?
I choose to even the playing field with thugs who carry.. simple concept that again<gasp>.. your excuse for logic cannot grasp.
commie fuck..
Un-educated fuck.. there was point in time when we had no income tax. You should read about that. And don't try to flip the context, you meant income tax and so did I.
Not once did I elude to some archaic or anarchistic form of society. You want to own your race baiting, "let's not indict the black panthers for a 10k DoA reward, but we'll investigate Ted Nugent for exercising 1A", liberal, bullshit... if you want to own that as well as the mother fucking FACT that when something gets subsidized, it is almost (%99.9 of the time) an eventual failure.
Yeah.. you go ahead and wish for your idiotic, utopia where the gov't sucks your dick and everything is "fair" and no one is considered exceptional because it's not fair to those who are not. Yeah, you own that shit pancake of a world. I'll take one where people work for what they have, earn their way, HAVE THE FUCKING RIGHT TO DEFEND THEMSELVES WITH A GUN, and aren't anal gaped by bullshit, "progressive" policies and keynesian economics that have turned my children and probably their children into debt slaves before they knew what hit them.
Yeah.. you lost the argument, but not because you couldn't keep with with the words that I use for emphasis.. but because you're FUCKING CLUELESS as to how the world should work.
You couldn't handle freedom so you let the gov't take it from you.. P U S S Y.
I would click the green arrow until the cows came home if i could. 1000% agree UG!
Thanks bro.. :D
Dude you are on fire today!
I started with a golf clap but you had me in full standing ovation by your third post.
Maybe that fire will light under other people.. I'm so sick and tired of dealing with these ass-hats trying to make my rights more difficult to exercise. They don't see that this is "suppression" of rights by means of increasing the difficulty in expressing them in some hope that we just give up trying to use them. No.. the gov't won't take our guns.. they're trying to make us give them up.
I see it plain as day...
You might wake a few up UGrev, but I don't hold any hope for it. Most of them you can't even get to lift their heads up to see what's going on and then the few that do will sing "Dixie" if you're wearing grey or "Battle Hymn of the Republic" if you're in blue. Just like the ferryman in The Outlaw Josey Wales. They'll sell all they have just for some speck of stability and the illusion of normalcy bias.
3% got the job done the first time. We'll just have to belly up to the table, drop the chips we have and ride the wheel. I myself hope to make sure that the Darwanism Interrupt gets unjammed and the cleansing waters of consequence flow again, to wash away the idiots like "citizen of the World" Max and his kind.
Keep up the good work sir,
On behalf of your friends in the Lunatic Fringe,
his honor, The Mayor.
+1 million.
How cynical is someone who wants the most amount of freedom for the broadest swath of humanity?
Civis Mom's Basement always posts, then immediately gives him self an up-vote. Sad.
That's Rethuglicans, Demoncrats, and Libertardians.
FUCK YOU AND THE" WHORSE"(OBAMMIE) YOU RODE IN ON M.F.(MOTHER FUCKER)
"HOPE!" has becone hypocrisy, "CHANGE!" has become Envy, hate, and fear...
When you finally pull your head out of Obama's crotch, I hope you'll open a HISTORY BOOK.
Civis Mom's Basement:
Change the bulb in the basement light -- you seem to have posted to the wrong story.
And I thought the Buffett tax was about taking money away from people....
Cannabinoids Kill Cancer. Surely elitist cocksuckers like Buffett know about Cannabis??
US Federal researchers have known for 35 years http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1159836 that the naturally occurring chemicals in cannabis can halt the proliferation of multiple types of cancer, including brain cancer, prostate cancer, breast cancer, lungcancer, skin cancer, and pancreatic cancer. Each above are separate links.
Funny, I just watched the Dr. Dre/Snoop Dog set at Coachella and have "The Next Episode" stuck in my head.
Hey-ay-ay-hey.
Smoke weed everyday.
La la la la la...
Watch this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1bMt83_IWkE instead next time.
WELL worth one hour of your time.
Silver water kills cancer and is much cheaper than hash oil.
"Cannabinoids Kill Cancer."
Just been reading about this, including the personal accounts of those who have made themselves cancer free using this knowledge, complete with before and after test results.
This guy is going around Canada curing people of cancer using hash oil:
http://phoenixtears.ca/
He claims that a pound of chronic will yield ~55 grams of hash oil, and that this taken orally over a 2-3 month period (or applied topically if skin cancer) will cure most serious cancers.
I know the route I'd take if diagnosed.
We will look back at modern cancer treatment (e.g., radiation, chemo) one day as we do today on the past practice of drilling holes in people's heads in order to treat mental disorders.
Yes Rick Simpson was a pioneer curing all types of cancer in Canada using Cannabis oil to whoever needed it free of charge. This knowledge is fast circulating the globe. Cannabis Science http://www.cannabisscience.com/ is one relatively new publically traded research company in this field. They post fresh case studdies on their site with pictures showing the incredible effects that cannanbinoids have on cancer. A new documentary was just screened in AZ called 'Chronic Future Killing Cancer' I hope it goes viral when its released publically.
hemp oil not hash oil
Same thing.
I will try them both and describe the difference. If I can.

I am surprised the Becky Quick comments weren't first on the thread
They must first remove Becky to get to the tumor........
Actually, it was her all along.
Fucking comment of the week.
Maybe Becky can remove the tumor while Warren takes a bath using a melon baller/ice cream scoop. "This is gonna hurt you more than it hurts me...Warren"
I wonder how she got that name..
Gee, I wonder if big pharma will suddenly find a cure for cancer. Nah, they make more money with everyone being sick.
Buffett has cancer. never met a better metaphor
And his company owes about a billion in back taxes...metaphor & irony ;-)
Time for the Oracle to bow out...instead of being removed,
I wonder what'd happen to Soros, if Put-in got his way...
should shove the BNSF Railway up his arse. Funny thing he purchases it in 2009 and will end up making how much money hauling the oil ??? Yeah...right...environmentally safer to haul on his choo choo trains than to encase the pipeline in cement....screw him.

Be nice...Warren still stings from his bad silver trade! bwahahahaha!
How does a cancer get a cancer?
Wonder if he will go get his care in Canada and make the waiting lists to show support for Obamacare?
Prostate cancer is VERY common for some of his age. And treatable if he isn't a cheapskate with his healthcare.

Comment:
With Buffet's support of Obama and the deals he made that screwed us taxpayers to Buffet's benefit. I'd say, let's give Buffet Obamacare.
Give the tax dodging MF'er one of Obama's death panels. Sorry Warren - you have been chosen to become Soylent Green.

Not only does Silver kill central bankers, it is the world’s most powerful natural antibacterial and antifungal agent, the ability of colloidal silver to protect against viral pathogens has, until recently, not been fully embraced by the medical community.
In the case of HIV-1 or Aids it inhibits HIV-1 virus from binding to host cells, learn more here.
And if you're worried about the Oligarchs dropping some new deadly strain of Influenza to further Agenda 21 it is by far the best defence against such a scenario.
Ancient 'hidden cures' like cannabis and silver are now just beginning to get the reconigition they deserve. Observe this for example. http://tinyurl.com/7qyy6le

silver toxicity??? whatta bullshit !!!
one can drink liters of colloidal silver without any side effects.
My whole family is using it for years now and we are doing very well.
The idiots like that blue man is giving a silver bad name.
When making colloidal silver please don't use salt or baking soda or you will turn blue like that idiot you can watch on youtube.
Dangerous to big pharma.
There is little evidence to support therapeutic claims made for colloidal silver products.
There are thousands of articles published supporting the medical use of silver...here a but a few:
University of Texas Colloidal Silver Effectiveness Study
Colloidal Silver Antibacterial Study - Microbiologists at Brigham Young University ( BYU )
Colloidal Silver and Natural Bentonite
Colloidal Silver, Healing Clay, and Skin Cancer
Dr. Robert O Becker
Silver Iontophoresis
Attributes of Silver Particles and Silver Solutions
The risk to consumers of silver toxicity outweighs the value of trying an unsubstantiated treatment, and bacterial resistance to silver can occur.
Pure silver is inert and non toxic which is exactly what colloidal silver is made from.

Buy a 9 volt battery, 999 silver wire, connect two wires to each terminal and dangle at least 6 inches in a glass of distilled water supported by a popsicle stick. Let it set for 2-3 hours and VOILA Colloidal Silver baby!
i think he was trolling you. that paper you initially linked is a reputable, legitimate study.
Good information to know, worth the rebuttle.
Keep it up...and get plenty of sun! ;)
Fad use of (continually bioaccumulated) elemental silver is well-nigh retarded; at least the "blue man group" will be easy to spot for a laugh.

I get a couple patches of dermatatis sometimes in the winter, but not this past one (because it was mild or because the silver topical remedy I used the year before CURED iy).
I went to the local dermatologist (one of MANY in my city). There are like 15 guys and they all see dozens of people a day. The waiting room was like a smaller version of an airport waiting area. The Big Pharma trained doctor prescribed be a cream that had all kinds of side effects. It cost almost $200 to fill for a little tube. The MD spent about 3 minutes with me and made a chunk. It took me 2 MONTHS to see me even at a large practice. I was desperate a week before the appt due to itching and skin flaring up bad. I ordered a little bottle of a silver get - the kind they sell on First Majestic's website. It came in the mail the day before the appt. I decided to try it before I filled the prescription. Applying the gel only 2x daily (a couple small dabs on the finger) in a few days everything cleared up COMPLETELY even though researching things like eczema and dermatatis and other skin ailments that there you couldn't cure the condition, only hope to control it.
So with silver I cured a skin condition for less than $10, with no doctor visit. No wonder these trolls don't want people to know about NATURAL CURES THAT WORK AND ARE INEXPENSIVE.
Just like the financial industry, the medical/PHARMA community is a gang of thieves, cheats, and guilty of culpable negligent murder of millions.
I was ready to dig a hole for my pet monster (featured in my avatar) last year. Not one, but two, tick-borne diseases, plus an ear infection that wormed its way inside his smiling skull. He could barely walk, and when he did his head was always tilted to one side. Months of antibiotics did nothing, so I decided to give colloidal silver a whirl. Four days into it, his ear infection was gone. Another couple weeks, and he was bouncing around like he had a Hoppity Horse under him. I use it to ward off colds since I work with the public. I never get sick anymore. Make it with distilled water.
Barbaric relics.
Change headline to "Warren Buffett is a cancer"
Bullish then
Money will flow from Berkshire to can't lose Apple.
I fail to grasp how this tidbit is newsworthy.
It's another excuse for us to speculate on which CNBC reporterette will sleep with him next to get a story.
If Buffett passed, politicians would have to determine a new way of figuring out what companies get bailed out.
Somewhere in China a man is waking up in a tub of ice w/ an extra hole in his ass.
lemme peel another onion
Even as much as I can't stand Buffet and all that he stands for including Obama, Becky Quick, etc. ... I wish him nothing but good health.
That is nice of you.
I'd fuck Becky Quick's brains out. Thanks for reminding me.
Afraid someone beat you to that a looooong time ago.
Fucking clever, dude.
Touche.
I wish him a long, lingering dependency on the very best sickcare drugs Big Pharma can supply.
Are you still in mourning over Marie Antoinette?
fuck this scumbag. there aren't many people that i wish would die, but he's definitely one of them. and i mean that in the sincerest way possible.

The Gleason score is key to know before you predict how likely the tumor will spread (and Buffett's survival odds).

Do you get paid for that kind of originality?
Why sad?

Fuckin Yeah,nothing but a CONTRACT.I dont need a CONTRACT to be in LOVE.Fuckin fools.
One is assuming he reported the truth...well Jobs prognosis was positive until it wasn't...you won't hear the truth about health issues..stock price is directly related..
didn't his bud Billy$oftware suggest somewhere that healthcare dollars for the ancient ones should be repurposed for loftier purpoes like paying teachers

You still here? Must be a sad existence impersonating someone's net persona.
You forgot a hyphen.
Radiation instead of silver water... I knew he was an idiot.
He sold his fucking soul to the devil, he'll be just fine. But I'd lay off the phony ice cream cones just in case.
So by extrapolation, are you saying that the wealthiest person in the world can't afford perfect health or immortality? Perhaps there is something to those poor bastards who stand in front of brooding news cameras after a tornado or hurricane has wiped-out every worldly posession they have and say "well, at least I have my health and my family."
Is Becky Quick on the next flight from TEB to OMA?
He probably called Squicky and told her he can't get it up anymore, she rushed to the scene
Oh, the irony, on Tax Day, Warren.
For men Buffet age, stage 1 prostate cancer is about as common as herpes. It was caught because he has a billionaire's health plan.
Stage one, So what, half the men his age have some prostate cells that have gone sideways. Watchful waiting is what most of us would do at that age. Now Dick (the prick) Cheney, there is a chancre on the balls politic.
Exactly. Can't imagine why he'd bother with the radiation treatment at this stage. The side effects will probably outweigh the benefits.
Unless, of course, he plans to live forever...
OK, tinfoil brigade! Have a go!
"Can't imagine why he'd bother with the radiation treatment at this stage ".
Perhaps you are an Oncologist, or are you just wiser?
Nope. Not that kind of doctor. Then again, not completely without domain knowledge, either, which makes me ask the question.
Death doesn't care about your net worth
Warren Buffett will not die of prostate cancer. They caught it in the early stages, which gives him an absurdly high chance of survival. Besides, many men get it by his age.
I hear that after a certain age they don't recommend treatment. Not worth the hassle, and heart attack is more likely to take someone out at that age.
Warren Buffett, like Dick Cheney, is a cyborg. Any treatment he may receive is only for public consumption. Buffett will live forever.
dont worry Warren, Becky Quick will massage that prostate for you
BoA must be praying that he won't be held back by his treatments the next time THEY need an injection for the cancer that they are.
Just wondering, would an 80 year old man on Obama Care receive treatment for prostate cancer?
I wonder if the doctor counseled him on end of life alternatives?
Of course not. That's why said 80-year-old (if he is otherwise in good health and expects to make it to at least 90) ought to have a few gold coins stashed somewhere. I suspect they'll roll out the red carpet at whatever hospital in whatever part of the world he decides to get treatment. Hopefully, the doctor won't report the transfer of "illegally-hoarded" gold.
Rick Hendrick cancer.
Upon hearing the news, I wonder if Charlie told WB to suck it up. . . .
I do not care for his politics but I hope he is not just submitting to annual PSA testing and then getting biopsies until somethings comes out positive. In the 70s I was assigned prostate cancer as a topic for our weekly discussion. Even then it was known that a majority of men have prostate cancer on autopsy (age 70 and older). This suggests that if you biopsy enough you will find it. Frank Zappa proved to all that this is a nasty disease in younger men. As we age however it becomes 'normal' (by definition). If I were Buffett I'd ask a lot of hard questions about risk and benefit before submitting to any serious treatment.
Well, at least now they have something they can blame on the stock not performing instead of shitty management and shitty stock picking and shitty companies purchased.
Hasn't his trading lore already been reduced to a bunch of algos by now? There must be a computer somewhere with "warren" scribbled on the front in black marker.
Brain in a jar. Sort of. Reminds me of this:

Spoiler; later in the movie he catches fire in his jar. Pretty funny.

Sorry Warren, no comparison intended. Really. But if you find yourself in a datacenter some day with no apparent way to move around, well what can I say.
Oh, come on. "Buy and hold" during the largest bull run in world history? How hard is that to program? Hint, we're not in a bull run now. It's a bit harder now
Loved the brain in a jar reference...
I did not know that Becky Quick does prostate exams now....I guess they had to go in pretty deep since Warren is the biggest asshole on CNBC..........
Love to see the look on the doctors face when Warren shows up for his procedure....Um Warren...what were you saying about the wealthy and taxes.....I hope they loop off Warrens prunes!!
This would be a good time for Buffet to show his support for Obamacare by volunteering for the kind of treatment the rest of us will get under it.
BTW, Becky Quick also moonlights as on-camera talent for endoscopies.
The kind of treatment most ANYONE should consider for this stage of PC is watchful waiting. I suspect the radiation is either unnecessary (to soothe Buffett's fears), or the cancer is more advanced than reported.
More surprised financial media didn't spin bad prostate into something like good Allstate.
I wish I had more time in my day ... I scanned the headline, thought it said that Warren Buffet is stage 1 cancer, and proceeded to waste more time reading this than it was worth.
Sometimes we see the truth even when it's not there.
Will Berkshire have to post collateral when he's gone?
Nothing a little polonium 5 can't fix. This is how the .001% deal with .01%ers who've stopped being useful to them. See also Steve Jobs, Hugo Chavez and others who conveniently get cancer when TPTB get tired of their constant banter...
Buffett has cancer of the brain...?
Thats what happens when you have shit for brains.
Fuck you Buffet.
Off topic but check out silver lease rates...!
Just jumped to well over one percent for one year lease.
