Crap. I own a LOT of that stock. I kept telling myself to dump half of it, to take my profits, but I never actually DO anything about any of my stocks.

I had NO IDEA it had crashed so bad. Wow. Well, I still will get something, apparently, since Buffet is buying me out. But not nearly what I would have gotten if I had sold out half at any of the many times I thought about it.

Oh well.

I’ve owned more than one stock that ran up like a lion only to come down like a crash, without me lifting a finger.

But wow. Just wow.

Oh well. Live and learn, pick yourself up and move on.

We inherited the shares, so it’s free money anyway.

Too bad you won’t get Berkshire Hathaway shares for your Constellation shares.

Or, I should say, fractions of Berkshire Hathaway shares.

If they were free, why not keep ‘em and see what’s next?

—you can’t sell ‘em at a loss. If you sell them all for a penny, that’s still a gain.

—Buffet just might fix what’s ailing the place, and make ‘em worth more in the process. You think he wants to buy yours in order to let them lose value?

Been wishing I’d bought energy stocks a while back meself.
