What kind of owner is Buffett? Will it help or hurt the economy?

1. Potentially a plus
Depends on what he's planning, but by "Rich old white guy who owns a shitload of stuff" standards, Buffet's practically a pinko commie hippie.

Fun quote of his on gold:
It gets dug out of the ground in Africa, or someplace. Then we melt it down, dig another hole, bury it again and pay people to stand around guarding it... Anyone watching from Mars would be scratching their head.

we'll see, I guess.

2. I hope you're right, as BNSF didn't do much.
They let their property go downhill, so I'm hoping he at least brings them up to date.

Love that quote.
