When we sold our house in Florida last year we used the Prudential Realtor Group whose blue & white signs dot the countryside. But we just heard from them that they had been bought out - lock, stock and barrel - by Berkshire Hathaway the flagship of Warren Buffet, the famous Oracle of Omaha. That foxy fellow didn't want just a "piece of the Rock" - he wanted the "whole Gibraltar". The agent commented that "those blue and white signs will now change to Cabernet" - the color of the Berkshire Hathaway logo. Wow! I didn't know there was a wine connoisseur hiding out among the corn husks of Nebraska. BTW before the stock split in January 2010 it's share price was $3475.
