Warren Buffett's biggest bet !!!!

How big is the bet??

$26 Billion!!!

Thats right Warren Buffett made his largest investment yet buying out Burlington Northern Santa Fe, a Texas based railroad company.

Well he has definitely turned heads with this investment and it is not in the least because of the size of the investment but more so because of the sector. Trains.

The growth of the railways spearheaded the industrial revolution across the world. But when most of the world thinks the heyday for the railways is over.Here is Buffett thinking otherwise.

He says it is the most efficient way to transport goods. A ton of goods can be transported for 470 miles in one gallon of diesel.

Wow!! that is the solution for the impending global energy crisis.

Also he says in this day and age when pollution is a major problem each train can take away 280 truck of the road.

He has done his research and he has placed his bet. He also seems to suggest it is the safest bet for the world.

When Warren Buffett talks you listen.

Do not Stand at my grave and weep

Well today is the 8th of November and I turn 23.Just one of those days. Suddenly I remembered this poem my Mary Fyre. Its a beautiful poem and I thought I should put it up on my blog.

Do not stand at my grave and weep,

I am not there, I do not sleep.

I am in a thousand winds that blow,

I am the softly falling snow.

I am the gentle showers of rain,

I am the fields of ripening grain.

I am in the morning hush,

I am in the graceful rush

Of beautiful birds in circling flight,

I am the starshine of the night.

I am in the flowers that bloom,

I am in a quiet room.

I am in the birds that sing,

I am in each lovely thing.

Do not stand at my grave and cry,

I am not there. I do not die.
