Warren Buffett lost about $25 billion during the financial crisis, but
he still managed to make the most out of the situation by attempting to
profit from the downturn. His picks could reap huge rewards, but right
now, Berkshire Hathaway appears to be taking a more cautious approach,
buying fewer stocks than it is selling, suggesting that Buffett is
getting worried. At the same time, "Buffettologists" say that as his
inevitable retirement approaches Buffett is also thinking about his
legacy and is more concerned about making investments that will give
out profits in the long-term.
