This'll make you feel better...

"But while 17 billionaires on Forbes list lost more than $1 billion in the past month, Buffett managed to boost his wealth by $8 billion to $58 billion, pushing him ahead of Gates, whose fortune fell to $55.5 billion from $57 billion."

Good news: you didnt lose a billion dollars.

Bad news: you didnt make a vague number between 8 and 58 billion.

Good news: if you have berkshire stock, you may enjoy some of that 8-58 billion eventually.

Bad news: berkshire stock just suffered one of its worst plunges.

Everyone better now?

Well, it was down here just a few months ago. I hope all those people who've been PM'ing me about buying and/or trading Berkshire shares are taking advantage of whatever opportunity they feel is being offered right now.

Because I sure don't want to read all the complaints a year or two down the road!
