Liberty Posted March 2, 2011 Author Share Posted March 2, 2011 Any of those sounds likely to you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gfp Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Last time I checked, none of those companies are for sale in their entirety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liberty Posted March 2, 2011 Author Share Posted March 2, 2011 Last time I checked, none of those companies are for sale in their entirety. But would they announce it? If Berkshire is their buyer of choice, wouldn't they go directly to Buffett (especially now that everybody knows he has the pile of cash)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bronco Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 I like the idea of ITW. I guess there may be some synergies with some of these logistic plays. I still think Mars, Munich Re (thanks to another poster here) or a utility would be first choices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
