Warren Buffet's networth in other commodities

Ok, so some people are convinced that gold is in a bubble and therefore it is not a good measure of inflation/depreciation of currencies/networth, etc.
Fair enough. I've compiled (it sure takes quite some time to do this) WB's networth in other commodities. The chart shows his purchasing power over the past 12 years. The number of tons of rice, barrels of oil, pounds of beef, pounds of sugar, and troy ounce of silver (I included silver just for kicks) he can buy. Again, we see that his networth has been greatly diminished in the past 12 years since the start of the commodities bull-run in 2000.
Note: This is not an attempt to bash WB. Just want to show the fact that inflation is rampant, and is going to get worse. Even a legend like him finds it hard to keep up with inflation. So, stocks generally is not a place to hide from inflation to the average investors.
P.S. maybe to make things simpler, I should just compare his networth against a commodities index.

It's getting close now. In the past few years, the Austrian economists have been warning of the impending debt and currency crisis in the US.
The US has been bankrupt for a few years now, although the general market has not recognised it. Spain, Greece, Portugal, Italy, Ireland have been bankrupt for the few years leading up to their current crisis. The general market was late to recognise it too. These nations are as indebted now (in fact, more) as they were a few years ago. But they were able to buy some time due to the low interest rates in the past. Once rates start to rise, the party is really over. The same calamity will befall the US too.
I doubt that the US can postpone the pain any much longer. The budget numbers are just too horrendous. Although I don't like to make predictions with regards to timings, if I have to, I will say that in 2013-2014, we should see a huge crisis hit the US. Some other things might happen which will delay the day of reckoning (eg. the world turning its attention to Japanese debt). I think things will ultimately become really bad, and here, I attempt to list down some of the things that will happen in the US:

Castro: I don't 'remember what a headache is'
To contact us Click HERE
Former Cuban leader Fidel Castro published photos of himself, including several in which he's seen reading Friday's copy of a Communist Party newspaper, to dismiss reports that he was near death. TODAY's Natalie Morales reports.
By NBC News wire services
HAVANA -- Former Cuban leader Fidel Castro dismissed reports that he was dead or near death in an article published on Monday in Cuba's state-run press.
He accused news agencies and enemies of Cuba of spreading "stupidities" about him, particularly a report from a Spanish newspaper last week that said he had suffered a massive stroke and was in a vegetative state.
"Birds of bad omen! I don't even remember what a headache is," he wrote.
The article in Communist Party newspaper Granma was accompanied by photographs?(in Spanish) showing him walking outside on a sunny day on what appeared to be a farm.
He wore a straw hat and red plaid shirt, used a walking cane and, in one photo, held a copy of Granma from Friday.

Photos of Cuba's Fidel Castro were published Monday in the country's state-run press following rumors that the 86-year-old was in failing health.
The photos, Castro said, were "proof of what liars they are."
Intense speculation
Castro's health has been the subject of intense speculation for years, but the rumors gained force in recent days after he failed to publicly congratulate Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, a top ally, on his Oct. 7 electoral victory.
The 86-year-old former Cuban leader has not appeared since March, when he was shown greeting visiting Pope Benedict XVI, and he has also ceased writing his once-constant opinion pieces, the last of which appeared in June.?
On blogs and Twitter, he has been declared dead or near dead numerous times, spurred by a long, unexplained absence from the public eye.
Elias Jaua, a former Venezuelan vice president, said Sunday he had met with the Cuban revolutionary leader over the weekend, showing reporters pictures of the meeting and saying Castro was in good health and lucid.
Castro had not written one of his "Reflections" opinion columns for state press since June 19 or been seen publicly since March.
More coverage of Cuba on NBCNews.com
His last few Reflections were also Twitter-like in their brevity and slightly oddball in content, which left Cubans wondering about their former leader's mental state.
'I like to study and I study'
But Castro said he had decided to stop the columns for a practical reason.
Fidel Castro re-emerges, proving he's alive during trip to farm
"I stopped publishing Reflections because surely it is not my role to occupy the pages of our press, dedicated to other work the country requires," he said.
As for how he spends his time now, Castro wrote, "I like to write and I write. I like to study and I study."
A look at the life and times of the Cuban leader who has outlasted nine U.S. presidents.
Castro also used the article to defend his role in the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis, which 50 years ago this month brought the world to the brink of nuclear war when the United States discovered that the Soviet Union had placed nuclear missiles in Cuba.
Complete World coverage on NBCNews.com
Castro said Cuba viewed the missiles as necessary to stopping a U.S. invasion of the island 90 miles from Florida and had no regrets about its decision.
"Our conduct was ethically irreproachable. We will never apologize to anyone for what we did," he said.
Castro stepped down in 2006 following a severe illness, handing power to his brother Raul.?

Warren Buffet's networth in other commodities
To contact us Click HERE
Ok, so some people are convinced that gold is in a bubble and therefore it is not a good measure of inflation/depreciation of currencies/networth, etc.
Fair enough. I've compiled (it sure takes quite some time to do this) WB's networth in other commodities. The chart shows his purchasing power over the past 12 years. The number of tons of rice, barrels of oil, pounds of beef, pounds of sugar, and troy ounce of silver (I included silver just for kicks) he can buy. Again, we see that his networth has been greatly diminished in the past 12 years since the start of the commodities bull-run in 2000.
Note: This is not an attempt to bash WB. Just want to show the fact that inflation is rampant, and is going to get worse. Even a legend like him finds it hard to keep up with inflation. So, stocks generally is not a place to hide from inflation to the average investors.
P.S. maybe to make things simpler, I should just compare his networth against a commodities index.

Warren Buffet's networth in other commodities

Ok, so some people are convinced that gold is in a bubble and therefore it is not a good measure of inflation/depreciation of currencies/networth, etc.
Fair enough. I've compiled (it sure takes quite some time to do this) WB's networth in other commodities. The chart shows his purchasing power over the past 12 years. The number of tons of rice, barrels of oil, pounds of beef, pounds of sugar, and troy ounce of silver (I included silver just for kicks) he can buy. Again, we see that his networth has been greatly diminished in the past 12 years since the start of the commodities bull-run in 2000.
Note: This is not an attempt to bash WB. Just want to show the fact that inflation is rampant, and is going to get worse. Even a legend like him finds it hard to keep up with inflation. So, stocks generally is not a place to hide from inflation to the average investors.

Castro: I don't 'remember what a headache is'
To contact us Click HERE
Former Cuban leader Fidel Castro published photos of himself, including several in which he's seen reading Friday's copy of a Communist Party newspaper, to dismiss reports that he was near death. TODAY's Natalie Morales reports.
By NBC News wire services
HAVANA -- Former Cuban leader Fidel Castro dismissed reports that he was dead or near death in an article published on Monday in Cuba's state-run press.
He accused news agencies and enemies of Cuba of spreading "stupidities" about him, particularly a report from a Spanish newspaper last week that said he had suffered a massive stroke and was in a vegetative state.
"Birds of bad omen! I don't even remember what a headache is," he wrote.
The article in Communist Party newspaper Granma was accompanied by photographs?(in Spanish) showing him walking outside on a sunny day on what appeared to be a farm.
He wore a straw hat and red plaid shirt, used a walking cane and, in one photo, held a copy of Granma from Friday.

Photos of Cuba's Fidel Castro were published Monday in the country's state-run press following rumors that the 86-year-old was in failing health.
The photos, Castro said, were "proof of what liars they are."
Intense speculation
Castro's health has been the subject of intense speculation for years, but the rumors gained force in recent days after he failed to publicly congratulate Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, a top ally, on his Oct. 7 electoral victory.
The 86-year-old former Cuban leader has not appeared since March, when he was shown greeting visiting Pope Benedict XVI, and he has also ceased writing his once-constant opinion pieces, the last of which appeared in June.?
On blogs and Twitter, he has been declared dead or near dead numerous times, spurred by a long, unexplained absence from the public eye.
Elias Jaua, a former Venezuelan vice president, said Sunday he had met with the Cuban revolutionary leader over the weekend, showing reporters pictures of the meeting and saying Castro was in good health and lucid.
Castro had not written one of his "Reflections" opinion columns for state press since June 19 or been seen publicly since March.
More coverage of Cuba on NBCNews.com
His last few Reflections were also Twitter-like in their brevity and slightly oddball in content, which left Cubans wondering about their former leader's mental state.
'I like to study and I study'
But Castro said he had decided to stop the columns for a practical reason.

"I stopped publishing Reflections because surely it is not my role to occupy the pages of our press, dedicated to other work the country requires," he said.
As for how he spends his time now, Castro wrote, "I like to write and I write. I like to study and I study."
A look at the life and times of the Cuban leader who has outlasted nine U.S. presidents.
Castro also used the article to defend his role in the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis, which 50 years ago this month brought the world to the brink of nuclear war when the United States discovered that the Soviet Union had placed nuclear missiles in Cuba.
Complete World coverage on NBCNews.com
Castro said Cuba viewed the missiles as necessary to stopping a U.S. invasion of the island 90 miles from Florida and had no regrets about its decision.
"Our conduct was ethically irreproachable. We will never apologize to anyone for what we did," he said.
Castro stepped down in 2006 following a severe illness, handing power to his brother Raul.?

Fair enough. I've compiled (it sure takes quite some time to do this) WB's networth in other commodities. The chart shows his purchasing power over the past 12 years. The number of tons of rice, barrels of oil, pounds of beef, pounds of sugar, and troy ounce of silver (I included silver just for kicks) he can buy. Again, we see that his networth has been greatly diminished in the past 12 years since the start of the commodities bull-run in 2000.
Note: This is not an attempt to bash WB. Just want to show the fact that inflation is rampant, and is going to get worse. Even a legend like him finds it hard to keep up with inflation. So, stocks generally is not a place to hide from inflation to the average investors.
P.S. maybe to make things simpler, I should just compare his networth against a commodities index.

And this is how the market is supposed to work... successful companies with a sounder foundation come in and buy up a failed company's assets at fair market price. You don't simply let a failed company restart with a shaky foundation by stealing taxpayers' money to bail it out... That's bad economics and bad morality.

Castro: I don't 'remember what a headache is'
To contact us Click HERE
Former Cuban leader Fidel Castro published photos of himself, including several in which he's seen reading Friday's copy of a Communist Party newspaper, to dismiss reports that he was near death. TODAY's Natalie Morales reports.
By NBC News wire services
HAVANA -- Former Cuban leader Fidel Castro dismissed reports that he was dead or near death in an article published on Monday in Cuba's state-run press.
He accused news agencies and enemies of Cuba of spreading "stupidities" about him, particularly a report from a Spanish newspaper last week that said he had suffered a massive stroke and was in a vegetative state.
"Birds of bad omen! I don't even remember what a headache is," he wrote.
The article in Communist Party newspaper Granma was accompanied by photographs?(in Spanish) showing him walking outside on a sunny day on what appeared to be a farm.
He wore a straw hat and red plaid shirt, used a walking cane and, in one photo, held a copy of Granma from Friday.

Photos of Cuba's Fidel Castro were published Monday in the country's state-run press following rumors that the 86-year-old was in failing health.
The photos, Castro said, were "proof of what liars they are."
Intense speculation
Castro's health has been the subject of intense speculation for years, but the rumors gained force in recent days after he failed to publicly congratulate Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, a top ally, on his Oct. 7 electoral victory.
The 86-year-old former Cuban leader has not appeared since March, when he was shown greeting visiting Pope Benedict XVI, and he has also ceased writing his once-constant opinion pieces, the last of which appeared in June.?
On blogs and Twitter, he has been declared dead or near dead numerous times, spurred by a long, unexplained absence from the public eye.
Elias Jaua, a former Venezuelan vice president, said Sunday he had met with the Cuban revolutionary leader over the weekend, showing reporters pictures of the meeting and saying Castro was in good health and lucid.
Castro had not written one of his "Reflections" opinion columns for state press since June 19 or been seen publicly since March.
More coverage of Cuba on NBCNews.com
His last few Reflections were also Twitter-like in their brevity and slightly oddball in content, which left Cubans wondering about their former leader's mental state.
'I like to study and I study'
But Castro said he had decided to stop the columns for a practical reason.

"I stopped publishing Reflections because surely it is not my role to occupy the pages of our press, dedicated to other work the country requires," he said.
As for how he spends his time now, Castro wrote, "I like to write and I write. I like to study and I study."
A look at the life and times of the Cuban leader who has outlasted nine U.S. presidents.
Castro also used the article to defend his role in the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis, which 50 years ago this month brought the world to the brink of nuclear war when the United States discovered that the Soviet Union had placed nuclear missiles in Cuba.

Castro said Cuba viewed the missiles as necessary to stopping a U.S. invasion of the island 90 miles from Florida and had no regrets about its decision.
"Our conduct was ethically irreproachable. We will never apologize to anyone for what we did," he said.
Castro stepped down in 2006 following a severe illness, handing power to his brother Raul.?

Warren Buffet's networth in other commodities
To contact us Click HERE
Ok, so some people are convinced that gold is in a bubble and therefore it is not a good measure of inflation/depreciation of currencies/networth, etc.
Fair enough. I've compiled (it sure takes quite some time to do this) WB's networth in other commodities. The chart shows his purchasing power over the past 12 years. The number of tons of rice, barrels of oil, pounds of beef, pounds of sugar, and troy ounce of silver (I included silver just for kicks) he can buy. Again, we see that his networth has been greatly diminished in the past 12 years since the start of the commodities bull-run in 2000.
Note: This is not an attempt to bash WB. Just want to show the fact that inflation is rampant, and is going to get worse. Even a legend like him finds it hard to keep up with inflation. So, stocks generally is not a place to hide from inflation to the average investors.
P.S. maybe to make things simpler, I should just compare his networth against a commodities index.

It's getting close now. In the past few years, the Austrian economists have been warning of the impending debt and currency crisis in the US.
The US has been bankrupt for a few years now, although the general market has not recognised it. Spain, Greece, Portugal, Italy, Ireland have been bankrupt for the few years leading up to their current crisis. The general market was late to recognise it too. These nations are as indebted now (in fact, more) as they were a few years ago. But they were able to buy some time due to the low interest rates in the past. Once rates start to rise, the party is really over. The same calamity will befall the US too.
I doubt that the US can postpone the pain any much longer. The budget numbers are just too horrendous.
