HyperPumper, why is Berkshire Hathaway (BRKA) going down?

Virginia, darling, don't be a crybaby.� BRKA is down from a high (2 years ago) of over $80,000.� Now, it is nearing a 2 year low of $42,000.� Whoopeee doo dah!.��� This is like AOL but in slow motion.�� The pain, the pain.� HyperPumper, who owns AOL can sympathize.� But AOL will likely shoot back up after the Time-Warner merger closes.� With BRKA, there is no such guarantee, Virginia.� BRK's major holdings have all been hit hard.� KO has missed earnings forecasts and changed management.� Gillette is sick.� Oh, my!� How about the insurance industry.�� HyperPumper would stay away from insurance stocks for now.�� How do we say, "in investing, there is no sure thing.� The BRKA holders all thought BRKA was a sure thing.� Mr. Market has proven them wrong.� In the end, Mr. Market humbles everyone.� This year, Mr. Market is showing the whole Omaha gang who is da boss!�� Warren, Mr. Market is calling your number.�� Answer the phone.� Or not.
