Berkshire Hathaway just came out and posted some pretty incredible results. The company posted net earnings of $2.595 Billion, but net earnings from operations and outside of investment gains came in at $2.213 Billion. This compares to net of $2.313 billion net and $1.787 Billion new from operations in Q1 2006. On an earnings per share basis for class A shares, the EPS came in at $1,682.00. There are only two readily available estimates with one being $1,413.00 and another being $1,481.44. Its total revenues for the first quarter including gains came in at $32.918 Billion.

The company still sits on $39.58 Billion in cash and equivalents and its total assets after fluff are listed at $199.28 Billion. Total liabilities are $149.424 Billion. You can read through their entire report from their SEC filing here if you wish.

Shares closed up 0.6% at $109,250.00 today, and the 52-week trading range is $88,000.00 to $114,500.00. Sudan or no Sudan, if you’re an investor Buffett’s your man.

Credit Card Companies Are Doing Something Nuts

Credit card companies are at war. The biggest issuers are handing out free rewards and benefits to win the best customers.

It’s possible to find cards paying unlimited 1.5%, 2%, and even more today. That’s free money for qualified borrowers, and the type of thing that would be crazy to pass up. Those rewards can add up to thousands of dollars every year in free money, and include other benefits as well.

We’ve assembled some of the best credit cards for users today. Don’t miss these offers because they won’t be this good forever.
