Warren Buffet errs too...but what the hell he is and will remain the best ever!

Here's an article on the Sage of Omaha that appeared on Bloomberg today. It talks about some of the bets that went wrong for Warren Buffet. Here's an excerpt:

Billionaire investor Warren Buffett, stung by $955 million in losses from foreign-currency investments in 2005, slashed his bet against the U.S. dollar this year, just before its steepest decline in 18 months.

Berkshire Hathaway Inc., his Omaha, Nebraska-based insurance and investment firm, had $5.4 billion in foreign- currency forward contracts at the end of March, down from as much as $21.8 billion in 2005, according to the company's earnings statements. The U.S. Dollar Index, used to measure its value against six major currencies, fell 5.1 percent in the second quarter.
