Warren Buffett

I will do anything that is basically covered by the law to reduce Berkshire's tax rate. For example, on wind energy, we get a tax credit if we build a lot of wind farms. That's the only reason to build them. They don't make sense without the tax credit.

Gold is a way of going long on fear, and it has been a pretty good way of going long on fear from time to time.
