Market Scan Billionaire investor Warren Buffett had a good year in 2007, thanks to Berkshire Hathaway's stable insurance operations in a disaster-free 12 months, but he's not expecting a repeat. That party is over,” he wrote in his eagerly awaited annual letter to shareholders. “It is a certainty that insurance-industry profit margins, including ours, will fall significantly in 2008. Prices are down, and exposures inexorably rise.” He predicted that even with another disaster-free year, the industry's profitability will decline. “If the winds roar or the earth trembles, results could be far worse.” On Friday Buffett stated in his annual report to shareholders that Berkshire posted an 11.0%, or $12.3 billion, gain in net worth. Over the last 43 years per-share book value has soared at a rate of 21.1%, compounded annually. |
