BTW, a big reason for food inflation might be da Prez.... I heard that farmers in the central US can't get cheap trains to move their products to market and bring in winter feed, fertilizer and such as the rail cars are filled with oil that can pay higher freight rates.

Ya think Buffett made a deal with da Prez to not sign off on Keystone for eight years in return for an endorsement of higher taxes he can avoid with loopholes still on the books? Buffett is a huge railroad owner and his stock is up under Obama.... Gates has done better... he doesn't sell sugary poison to kids and obese adults so Michelle's healthy eating initiative hasn't hurt his returns.

With Michelle Obama going after all Buffett's sugary and fast food junk products that kill you early, he's lucky to have the railroads otherwise he would grossly under perform the S&P 500.
