I love press releases
“We are pleased that given our longstanding relationship, Warren Buffett, arguably the world’s most admired and successful investor, has decided to make such a significant investment in Goldman Sachs,” Mr. Blankfein said…. Mr. Buffett, also in the statement, called Goldman Sachs an exceptional institution.
The thing that makes Buffett so admirable is that he adheres to that timeless market adage:
- Buy low.
- Sell high.
Ergo, I don’t doubt Buffett’s statement for a second; in a market transaction just about anything can be exceptional depending on the price. I can also see why Blankfein used a word like “pleased” vs. an effusive word such as “exceptional.”
And now for something completely different

e) Pop culture
Note: the above topics are listed alphabetically and thus do not betray my own weightings of value assigned thereof.
* someone pointed out this is actually a recurring theme here…hmmmmm….
** actually this is only a slight variant of denial
