Subject: Re: BRK - OXY
Well, it’s about 24 hours since the story broke. And no PR from Omaha. In addition to the burden of finding elephants, Buffett has almost always managed to be on top of such news. The world knows after the deal is done. The one way Buffett accomplished this is speed of decision making. If Greg is the one behind the wheel on this OXY Chem thing, this is one more tough bars to overcome. Without speed and secrecy, Berkshire deals aren’t as good.
