Warren Buffett said in a letter to shareholders on Tuesday that he has been diagnosed with stage 1 prostate cancer.

The 81-year old billionaire investor and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway said "the good news" is that doctors have indicated his condition isn’t "remotely life threatening or even debilitating in any meaningful way."

Buffett went on to say, "I will let shareholders know immediately should my health situation change. Eventually, of course, it will; but I believe that day is a long way off."

Below is the full text of the letter, which is accessible through the Berkshire Hathaway website:

To the Shareholders of Berkshire Hathaway:

This is to let you know that I have been diagnosed with stage I prostate cancer. The good news is that I’ve been told by my doctors that my condition is not remotely life-threatening or even debilitating in any meaningful way. I received my diagnosis last Wednesday. I then had a CAT scan and a bone scan on Thursday, followed by an MRI today. These tests showed no incidence of cancer elsewhere in my body.

My doctors and I have decided on a two-month treatment of daily radiation to begin in mid-July. This regimen will restrict my travel during that period, but will not otherwise change my daily routine.

I feel great — as if I were in my normal excellent health — and my energy level is 100 percent. I discovered the cancer because my PSA level (an indicator my doctors had regularly checked for many years) recently jumped beyond its normal elevation and a biopsy seemed warranted.

I will let shareholders know immediately should my health situation change. Eventually, of course, it will; but I believe that day is a long way off.

Warren E. Buffett

Get well soon, my dear Warren!

E pa ovo je već prevršilo svaku mjeru! 😀

To je zeznulo čak i Buffett-a 😀 On ne voli davati "kratkoročne prognoza kretanja tržišta", ali je bez problema ono prije par mjeseci rekao da misli da je pad nekretninama gotov, no još je od onda padalo skoro svaki mjesec :rotfl: Biti će da je Shiller opet bio u pravu, on je istovremeno bio rekao da misli da će cijene u kraćem roku još malo dolje prije nego li krenu gore.

Sad je pitanje od stotine milijardi dolara: gdje je dno? 😀 Već nam je svima prilično jasno da su američke nekretnine podcijenjene i da u okruženju povijesno niskih kamatnih stopa ljudi imaju sjajnu priliku obaviti kupnju fundamentalno atraktivnije nego li ikada u njihovom životu, no hoće li biti i još povoljnije, to je sada najzabavnije pitanje Amerike!

Sve ovisi o tržištu nekretnina. Kada krenu rasti cijene, snažnije će početi i gradnja, to će se bitno odraziti na zaposlenost, na daljnji rast GDP-a…, zaista su sada sve oči uprte u američko nekretninsko tržište.

jel ti dolaziš iz svijeta u kojem svi znaju da sterilizirane mačke trebaju posebnu dijetu?

A danas su oči uprte na ovu adresu, u 23h po našem vremenu počinje prijenos:

Sudeći po ovom padu…, čini se da investitori očekuju loše izvješće za prošli kvartal…

opet razbacali sve oko sebe, +6,5% u afteru.

Sto se mene tice moze jos jednom do 596-7, a onda cemo vidjet sta dalje…
