		● INFORMATION: 23-Feb-2019 -- Edward E. Ayoub on Berkshire's brilliant strategy and America's national debt. Using Hebrew wisdom and Warren E. Buffett's logic (Letter To the Shareholders of Berkshire Hathaway Inc., 23-Feb-2019, at http://www.berkshirehathaway.com/letters/2018ltr.pdf), Ayoub concludes as follows: (1) Hebrew sages and prophets are clear -- very clear: (1.1) "The borrower is the slave of the lender" (Tanach, Proverbs 22:7); and (1.2) "thou shalt lend unto many nations, and thou shalt not borrow. "And the LORD shall make thee the head, and not the tail" [Deuteronomy 28:12-13] (2) If debt/usury is slavery, as the Hebrew sages contented, then America's national slavery, like America's national debt (to use Buffett's words, at p.14) "has increased roughly 400-fold during the last of [Buffett's] 77-year periods" -- a whopping "40,000%!" (3) No wonder Berkshire prefers (3.1) to be the "head" and not the "tail" (it owns bank common stocks: American Express Company, 17.9%; Bank of America Corp., 9.5%; The Bank of New York Mellon Corp., 8.8%; The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc., 4.9%; JPMorgan Chase & Co., 1.5%; U.S. Bancorp, 9.1%; Wells Fargo & Company, 9.8%; at p. 12); and (3.2) uses debt "sparingly... At rare and unpredictable intervals ... credit vanishes and debt becomes financially fatal" (p.10).
		● 23-Feb-2019 -- USA: Warren E. Buffett: "A major catastrophe that will dwarf hurricanes Katrina and Michael will occur ... “The Big One” may come from a traditional source, such as a hurricane or earthquake, or it may be a total surprise involving, say, a cyber attack having disastrous consequences beyond anything insurers now contemplate. When such a megacatastrophe strikes, we will get our share of the losses and they will be big – very big. Unlike many other insurers, however, we will be looking to add business the next day... Those who regularly preach doom because of government budget deficits (as I regularly did myself for many years) might note that our country’s national debt has increased roughly 400-fold during the last of my 77-year periods. That’s 40,000%!" [Berkshire Hathaway Inc.]
