Warren Buffett on natgas and power generation, things we have talked about before (he is buying MidAmerican)>> Buffett is betting that MidAmerican's natural gas and electricity business in the U.S. and U.K. and its power plants in Asia are a better long-term investment than its stock performance suggests, analysts said. The shares have plunged 21 percent this year, compared with a 5 percent gain in the NYSE utilities index. ''We buy good companies with outstanding management and good growth potential at a fair price, and we're willing to wait longer than some investors for that potential to be realized,'' Buffett said. ''This investment is right in our sweet spot.'' |
