Then, all of a sudden the announcement of the CFO’s resignation hit the wires on April 16, 2012, and the stock fell over a cliff and lost 20% of its value in a week.

Time Again For Value Investing Through Berkshire Hathaway

As a value-driven and at times contrarian oriented analyst and investor, I have the upmost respect to Warren Buffett and Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A, BRK.B). The company has offered investors one of the highest and consistent returns for countless years. After a temporary drop in ROE and ROA last year, I sense that the company’s net profit is growing again this year. Thus, it may be a good time for a value investor like me to take a hard look on the stock again.
