Tagged: Ever since Berkshire Hathaway (BRK) reported earnings earlier in the month, a number of people have been abuzz about the “losses” generated from marking-to-market some of the derivatives on the books. Barron’s had a Q&A with short hedge fund manager Doug Kass where Kass said he was short BRK because of Buffett’s “investment-style drift,” which has led him to take large positions in derivatives instruments - which he famously derided as “financial weapons of mass destruction” in his 2002 letter to shareholders.

Tagged: Billionaires Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger say the pain many financial institutions are feeling because of the credit crunch is well deserved. The chairman and vice chairman of Berkshire Hathaway Inc. said Sunday that the financial companies that engineered subprime mortgages and the investment funds backed by those mortgages don't deserve much sympathy as they record losses now.
Buffett said the current financial crisis is a byproduct of a system that encouraged executives to "paint pretty pictures."
