Berkshire Hathaway Class B shares

BRK.B

That's right. Berkshire Hathaway Class B shares are the best investment you can make today...and this is the perfect moment to buy them.
Much is known, of course, about Berkshire Hathaway's brilliant chairman, Warren Buffet. As much as I admire him, his company gets less attention as an investment.

But consider:

1. Berkshire Hathaway does best when the S&P500 does worst. In 1977, for example, when the S&P500 lost 7.4%, BRK made 31.9%. In 1966 when the S&P500 lost 11.7%, BRK made 20.3%. If the current market troubles you (it should), BRK is the best available investment in the land.

2. What Berkshire Hathaway has in super-abundance is CASH. And right now, with huge companies virtually "on sale" after last year's bear market, cash is king again! Energy companies in particular are cash-starved, so it's a great match.

What Other Investment Authorities Say About
Dick Young and
Intelligence Report:

"Forecasts worth their weight in bullion...Grade A" --Money Magazine

"Remarkably accurate."
--Forbes Magazine

"[Dick Young's recommendations have demonstrated] a phenomenal and consistent record of doubling and tripling."
--Wealth Magazine

"Dick Young delivers a wealth of cogent and useful information in each issue, and does so with clarity and purpose."
--Jack Bogle,
Former Chairman,
The Vanguard Group

3. Berkshire Hathaway's core investment, insurance, throws off gobs and gobs of cash. A well-run insurance company like GEICO has a license to print $1,000 bills all day long. It's this cash that fuels Warren Buffet's massive move into energy and utilities.

4. Currently, there is a law barring insurance companies from owning utilities. But Senators Phil Gramm and Trent Lott, Vice President Dick Cheney, and President Bush have all gone on record saying the law should be repealed and quickly.

Of course, in listing all these significant advantages, I have left out many others -- you get the brilliance of Warren Buffet; you get his muscle in securing investment deals you could never get on your own (no money manager on Wall Street can get them either); you get no taxes (BRK pays them instead); you get time (there is no trading or price-checking to do); and you get utter simplicity (Buffet's reports to shareholders are models of clarity).


One Reason Not to Own It


Now I ask you, why wouldn't you own BRK? There's one reason I can think of: No broker on earth will ever recommend it. That's because no one ever trades BRK. Only about TWO PERCENT of the stock changes hands in an average year, because shareholders become ADDICTS of the company! SO how can a broker generate lots of commissions on a stock that rarely trades?

Listen: BRK stands for the opposite of what brokers stand for. Which, perhaps, is why Warren Buffet is one of the richest men in the world... and why not a single broker is a member of the Forbes 400 richest!

As you can tell, I'm pounding the table and practically begging you to own Berkshire Hathaway. Not only will this one stock make you wealthy, but it is also the very...

Keystone of My Famous Armadillo Strategy

My Armadillo Strategy is designed to capture big profits without endangering principal. This was never thought to be possible until 1982 when I showed, after 18 years of scrupulous testing, how it could be done.

I named my strategy after one of my favorite creatures, the armadillo. Nature and evolution have rendered the armadillo as perfect a fighting machine for the land as the shark is for the sea.


The Armadillo Is God's Sherman Tank

The armadillo is aggressive. Using my Armadillo Strategy you could have turned $8,750 into $407, 125 in just 13 WEEKS! These are exact figures, and give you real-life example of what this approach can do for you.

The armadillo carries a thick coat of protective armor. Use my Armadillo Strategy and you will not lose principal. In the last 18 years of using this strategy I have not taken a single significant loss. That's because I invest in companies with real profits, with built-in protections against competitors, in areas where the trends are so locked in place they cannot be stopped.

Lastly, the armadillo is a survivor. One of earth's oldest animals, evolution has stripped him of all cuteness. My Armadillo Strategy ignores fad and crazes. It ignores flashy "peacock" stocks and today's media darlings. It keeps things radically simple: hunt and protect.
