Elmer, "you can't spend "relative performance" in an epic bear market."

No, but you can preserve capital.

Buffett says (paraphrasing): "the first rule in investing is not to lose money. The second rule is to not to forget the first rule."

I think BRK is now a conglomerate like GE and warrants a similar P/E and P/B ratio. If the market ever agrees with me, we are up a lot.

That or GE investors are just in for a bigger downside surprise than you are when the collapse of the mortgage refinancing bubble brings down the economy and with it the equities market.

Fasten your safety belt.
