Did you notice?  While everyone else was running scared on Wall Street, Warren Buffett, Chairman and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway, bought 5 billion dollars in Goldman Sachs stock.  But wait!  That’s not all!  He also has an option to buy an additional 5 billion dollars more in stock.  For a total of 10 billion dollars of stock! 

Warren is a student of business.  He keeps the cash and studies companies, from all industries, until he finds an opportunity he believes will create incredible profits for his investors.  Recognizing a good business opportunity is not enough.  Warren doesn’t foolishly invest in weak companies that don’t have an upside.  He invests in companies whose stock prices are depressed but has strong business fundamentals and strong management.  As time goes on and we work through this economic difficulty, there will be many bargains to be had in the business world.  Will you be ready to take advantage of those business opportunities?  Or will you be one of those business people who says:  I wish I would have… 

During these business times, keep your company strong. Reduce unnecessary business expense, put more effort into sales and marketing.  Have as much cash on hand as possible to take advantage of business opportunities that may present themselves.
