Barron's Summary (BRKA too pricey;ADY to sink further; LCAV; BTU)

Sun, 16 Dec 2007 18:55:27 GMT

The rally reflects the co's haven status; it's dodged the mortgage and credit problems. The Street’s enthusiasm for Berkshire, however, might be excessive.

In Jan’05, someone using the name Rahodeb went online to a Yahoo stock-mkt forum and posted this opinion: No co would want to buy Wild Oats Markets at its price then of about $8 a share. "Would Whole Foods buy OATS?" Rahodeb asked. "Almost surely not at current prices. What would they gain? OATS locations are too small." Rahodeb speculated that Wild Oats eventually would be sold after sliding into bankruptcy or when its stock fell below $5. A month later, Rahodeb wrote that Wild Oats mgmt "clearly doesn't know what it is doing .... OATS has no value and no future."
