Carl Icahn tweets a love note to Ben Bernanke

Our country has been lucky over its history that it has had the right people to call on in a crisis. It’s sad to see Bernanke go.

Warren Buffett’s 2011 shareholder letter

Last week, the news media's Most Favorite Billionaire issued his 2011 shareholder letter to Berkshire Hathaway shareholders.

Always a favorite read with those with time on their hands, Warren Buffett predicted “a general business climate somewhat better than that of 2010, but weaker than that of 2005 or 2006.” What that really means is anyone's guess.

Berkshire’s per share book value increased by 13% in 2010.
