Buffett Takes on Debt. Berkshire Hathaway is selling bonds for the first time in years. Why? [The Motley Fool]
"Interest rates are still hovering near 40-year lows, but the Fed hasn't dropped rates the last several months, perhaps signaling an end to the record-long string of cuts. If you're financially strong and going to take on leverage, then right now -- while rates are at historic lows -- is a good time to do it. Additionally, if you're betting the dollar will continue to slide (or that inflation is coming), it makes sense to borrow now, use the money as you will, and pay the loan back with dollars that are less valuable. "
Offcourse this is very clear. Interesting certainly of you have seen Business Class with Rienk Kamer last Sunday 28 september. He was telling that the US is as good as bankrupt and the dollar will fal for sure. the the money will flow to China and Azie.
