BRK.B
I asked a trusted source for financial advice about Berkshire Hathaway B (BRK.B).
He had this to say:
Buffet’s right hand man, who will likely survive him, is something of a wing-nut and I’ve got my doubts concerning the popular belief that he is not, in fact, retarded. I hate it when I pop open BH’s yearly letter to investors (a “must read” in the investment world) and see that he’s the one who’s penning it instead of Buffet. The grammar’s all fucked up, he bobs/weaves all over the place with his incoherent “market discussions”, and it’s almost as if he’s typing with a slur. It’s like having the waiter drop his pants and shit in your mouth after you sat down expecting filet mignon. I don’t even remember the guy’s name, and I don’t even care to bother googling it right now. That’s how little I care. I’d rather type this unimportant sentence than look up anything related to that fucking guy.
Great. Now my mornings shot to shit. Man that guy sucks.
That seems a little harsh on Charlie Munger. His daughter was one of the first women to graduate from HLS and is a pretty active Democrat (as is Buffett), so I’m a little surprised to find out he’s a winger.

No he meant to say he plays in WINGER. actually, i think he’s a roadie for WINGER. Seriously though, im not much on the market anymore. But, there was a time when I was more involved. The impression i get from BHb and the lot is that there sorta the Wal-Mart of the stock exchange. If you plan on hitchin a ride on that train i suggest taking buffet’s recursive advice and value invest in the diametrically oppossed direction BH does. Eventually, they’ll come around and prop you up. or you could blow wads at the strip club a la moi seven or so years ago…either way, you leave deflated, broke, and rosey complected when nostaliga comes a knockin…

Munger is referred to as “a self-described right-wing Republican”: http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=10000006&sid=aGh_OPpEs3_4&refer=home
(even though he apparently supports abortion rights and social security. He’s either confused about what Republicans are for, or he is in fact retarded. Come to think of it, the two are not mutually exclusive (-10pts, sorry for that cheap shot)).
