don't put too much stock in Icahn's a "day of reckoning"
Icahn also said Thursday on CNBC the Federal Reserve's prolonged low interest rates could create "tremendous bubbles."

Responding to Icahn, Buffett. the chairman and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway, took a more philosophical approach.

"Interest rates act on asset values like gravity works on physical matter," he said. "If you had zero interest rates and you knew you were going to have them forever, stocks should sell at, you know, 100 times earnings or 200 times earnings."

Buffett acknowledged rates have been lower for longer than most people had expected and that's pushed investors into the stock market because of the lack of yield elsewhere.

"When interest rates were 15 percent with [Paul] Volcker, you know, it was an enormous gravitational pull on all assets, not just stocks," Buffett said — referring to a period of time during Volcker's time as Fed chairman, a post he held from 1979 to 1987. "If you can get 15 percent, it makes the choices way different than if you get zero."

As far as negative rates, seen in Europe and Japan, Buffett does not believe they signal the end of the world. But readily, he admits the idea is "uncharted territory," saying he hopes to "live to find out" how the story ends.

Sharing a view with Icahn, Buffett believes the obsession among Republicans on Capitol Hill about the national debt is misplaced. "The national debt as a percentage of GDP is a little higher than I would like it, but the main thing is not to have it galloping upward"

"There are countries around with much greater debt to GDP ratio than what we have. What we have is not dangerous," he continued. "Debt can only be evaluated in relation to future income producing capabilities, and the countries with income producing capabilities have never been larger and they keep growing."

深入淺出 說明 〝現〞金 的 義意 ? !

看了下面的笑話﹐您就明白為何 Ron Paul 等人 是 白痴 ? !

政客是這麼來的（The making of a politician）

當父親送三個兒子唸大學時，他告訴他們：「我覺得為你們提供最好的教育是我的責任，你們並不欠我任何東西，但我希望你們會心存感恩。當我逝去躺在棺材內時，請你們每一位放一千元在我棺材內。」
A father told his 3 sons when he sent them to the university: "I feel it's my duty to provide you with the best possible education, and you do not owe me anything for that. However, I want you to appreciate it. As a token, please each put $1,000 into my coffin when I die."

三個兒子的事業都很成功，分別成了醫生、律師和財務規劃師，也都很有錢。當他們的父親躺在棺材內時，他們想起了父親的心願。
And so it happened. His sons became a doctor, a lawyer and a financial planner, each very successful financially. When their father's time had come and they saw their father in the coffin, they remembered his wish.

首先，醫生兒子把10張百元美鈔放在死者的胸部。
First, it was the doctor who put 10 --- $100 bills onto the chest of the deceased.

然後，財務規劃師也把一千元放入。
Then, came the financial planner, who also put $1,000 there.

最後，換了傷心欲絕的律師。他把手伸進口袋，掏出了支票簿，寫了一張三千元的支票放進父親的棺木，並拿回那二千元的現金。
Finally, it was the heartbroken lawyer's turn. He dipped into his pocket, took out his checkbook, wrote a check for $3,000, put it into his father's coffin, and took the $2,000 cash.

這位律師兒子後來進了央行。 He later went on to serve in Fed Reserve.
