Buffett, 77 years old, was about to bite into his favorite meal at his favorite restaurant, a New York strip steak at Gorat's Steakhouse in Nebraska. As he chomped down on the steak, he gleefully sloshed down the food with a cool, refreshing cherry coke. Buffett, fondly called the Oracle from Omaha, had accomplished what few people on earth had done.

On November 20, 2008, Berkshire's stock price was down 48% from its high of $148,300 on December 6, 2007. This was surprising given that Berkshire Hathaway had advanced 17 out of the past 20 years and Buffett's stock had beaten the SP a drop off in consumer spending, the housing bust, and the subprime financial disaster (over leveraged firms, which eventually led to the collapse of Bear Stearns, the first Wall Street investment bank since the Great Depression). These crises, combined with higher gas and food prices, fewer jobs, and personal income not keeping pace with inflation, all had Buffett concerned. Despite this, Buffett was optimistic. In a recent interview he stated, We may not be better in five months, but I know we will be better off in five years. …" @default.
