Warren Buffett's firm reports $25 billion Q4 loss on paper stock losses

That's down from last year's profit of $32.6 billion, or $13.19 per B share.

Warren Buffett's company recorded a $25 billion loss in the fourth quarter because of a big drop in the paper value of several of its stock investments.

Buffett said on February 23 that Berkshire Hathaway's businesses are performing well overall, but it has to record the market value of its stock holdings at the end of each quarter and Buffett has struggled to find attractive acquisitions recently.

With all this talk of the country going socialist, it is interesting to note that liberals have lost one third of the states they used to lead in. Liberals used to outnumber conservatives in nine states, but that number has fallen to six.

According to the Washington Examiner’s Paul Bedard, liberals now only dominate in six states:

The number of states where liberals outnumber conservatives has dropped more than 30 percent, with just six now in that category: Massachusetts, Hawaii, Vermont, Washington, New York, and New Hampshire.
