Warren E. Buffett has two cardinal rules of investing. Rule No. 1: Never lose money. Rule No. 2: Never forget Rule No. 1.
Warren Buffett walked to a news conference as part of the Berkshire Hathaway annual meeting in May in Omaha.Well, a lot of old rules got trashed when the financial crisis struck — even for the Oracle of Omaha.At 79, Mr. Buffett is coming off the worst year of his long, storied career. On paper, he personally lost an estimated $25 billion in the financial panic of 2008, enough to cost him his title as the world’s richest man. (His friend and sometime bridge partner, Bill Gates, now holds that honor, according to Forbes.)
