Baltimore – (TFN): Investors have been watching Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (BRK.A, BRK.B) Chairman Warren Buffett’s moves for years to see which investments are going to take off next.
Back in October, the Oracle of Omaha’s trip to South Korea encouraged our own bullishness on that country’s stock market.
And now Buffett has decided to have a look at Germany.

Ever felt like there must be SOME secret to making money in crazy markets? If so, you’d be right. Consider…
Using a little-known intelligence, Jesse Livermore became a multimillionaire during the stock crash of 1907… Then went on to amass a $100 million fortune from the crash of 1927!
George Soros discovered the moneymaking power of the same secret… only he made a billion dollars in one day.
And now, a small circle of well-informed investors is using this very secret to pocket one sizeable winner after another. So far in 2008, their fifteen winners handed them a total of 664% gains. (Meanwhile, the S&P was down 8.3% in the same six weeks.)
