He’s been hiring a few new portfolio managers but makes it very
clear he enjoys his job and wants to keep doing it. A sudden
downturn in his health is the only thing that would stop him, and
all those Cherry Cokes appear to be ke
eping him chipper.
2. Buffett will bag another ‘elephant’ in
2012.
At the beginning of the year, Buffett told shareholders he was
looking for big acquisitions. “Our elephant gun has been reloaded,
and my trigger finger is itchy.” Even after spending around $20
billion on
Lubrizol and a big IBM stake,

] still has a lot of cash. As
he told us on Squawk Box, some “great big strong American companies
look very cheap” at the same time he’s getting “zero” on any
billions he keeps in his pocket.
3. Buffett won’t lie low.
He’s not getting any more shy as he gets older. Especially since it
is an election year, expect to hear more from him on how the
super-rich need to be taxed more as part of the country’s deficit
reduction efforts.
