I think that is accurate. Add in the 15 banks he owns and they are probably about as interest sensitive as they care to be. I do think he will swoop down and grab some wounded companies by summer/fall . If they don't I wouldn't be a pleased BRK shareholder. I'm real curious what they buy next. I think energy and finance are off the table but we'll see. Some of the airlines may be looking for a loan shark with deep pockets soon. He's warmed up some to that sector the past year or so.
