Re: Who bought BNSF? Rumor or fact?

The company was acquired 100% by Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hawthaway Inc. Warren Buffett has one of the highest personal wealth in the United Stated.

See: BNSF Financial Information

This was big financial news. And much discussed. If you want more information Google.

Warren Buffett's attitude about business that he and his Berkshire Hawthaway acquire is that existing management is left in place to do its job. The business does not have to worry about meeting stock analysts' expectations or other money matters. It still has to be working toward making money -- but it can invest along the way.

If you want to know about Warren Buffett get the recent biography of him entitled "The Snow Ball."
