Contrarian Profits presents Down 24%, Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.B) Is a No-Brainer Buy posted at Contrarian Profits, saying, “Even the most savvy investors have been stung by this year’s equity meltdown. Warren Buffett’s investment vehicle, Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:BRK.A, BRK.B), is down 24% from its peak in December 2007. Alexander Green says BRK’s drop creates an outstanding buying opportunity. Buffett has an unrivaled track record as an investor. He has always followed a disciplined value-based strategy. And this still holds true today. BRK.B shares are trading at $3,860, off 24% from the 52-week high and 20% year-to-date. This makes them an outstanding buy right now.”
