Dark Matter eLiquid
Enjoy the wonderful flavor of our latest VapeSafe eLiquid - Dark Matter.
Dark Matter tastes like German chocolate cake. For those of you who have not had the fortunate to try a piece German chocolate cake recently, this is a great way to experience the flavor without getting any of the calories. German chocolate cake is a layered cake filled and topped with a coconut-pecan frosting. Traditionally sweet baking chocolate is used for the chocolate flavor in the actual cake. The robust filling and topping is a caramel made with egg yolks and evaporated milk. Once the caramel is cooked, coconut and pecans are stirred into the mixture. Finally, rich chocolate frosting is spread around the sides of the cake to hold in the filling.
Dark Matter eLiquid by VapeSafe captures the essence of German chocolate cake. Dark Matter eLiquid delivers plumes of vapor and rich chocolatey flavor that you'll want to enjoy again and again. Try Dark Matter today!

Description
They come to Omaha by the tens of thousands, flocking to an annual meeting that has become legendary for investors, businesspeople, and fans of one of the most savvy capitalists on the planet. They come to eat steak, buy furniture at a discount, and bask in the brilliance of value investor extraordinaire, Warren Buffet.
Hedge fund founder, financial blogger, and professional skeptic Jeff Matthews got his own highly-coveted ticket to the Berkshire Hathaway meeting held only for shareholders and their guests--and proceeded to post reports on his blog, offering tempting glimpses into the much-discussed meeting. Now Matthews delivers a full-length account of his adventures at this infamous financial hoedown. In addition to offering a thoroughly entertaining first-hand account of Berkshire Hathaway's meeting, he answers questions investor's are asking, including:
- Does Buffett's famed penny-pinching cripple his companies?
- Why does Buffet--a bridge partner and best friend of Bill Gates--not own any technology stocks?
- How does the extremely rational Buffett square his well-known social progressiveness with his lily-white audience of investors?
- Is Buffet really an "Oracle"?
- What information, insights, and ideas do the meeting's attendees pick up-and how do they put this information to use in their own investments?
- Will Berkshire-Hathaway survive his death?
Matthews also applies his financial acumen to harvesting potent lessons from his experiences that you can use as you survey the investment field, from finding how the world’s greatest investor evaluates not only businesses but the people who run them, to the importance of “just reading and thinking” and the value of having a smart, cynical partner. With the dispatches from this exclusive financial carnival, Pilgrimage to Warren Buffett's Omaha puts you at the forefront of an investor's dream come true.
"There are very few secrets to be revealed about a man who really doesn’t have many secrets. But this book does take you inside that secret place – the Mecca of the Midwest. It’s very easy to read and full of classic Buffett-isms – well worth the pilgrimage for those of us who don’t own any Berkshire Hathaway shares or for anyone who wants to learn more about investing from the man who says the first rule of investing it to, 'read everything.'"

Summary: "Buffettism"
I have held Berkshire Hathaway for some time. The book gave readers a better understanding of the operations of this firm. As an investor I and other are simply interested the results. In the recent past the results were mediocre and the large railroad acquisitions are not as simple as they may seem. Before I read the book. I was enchanted with the results and the common sense applied to the business. Can it continue? Some of his disciples have succeeded. There are few if any investors that have a similar structure. I wish them well, it may never happen again in these United States.
Buffet and Munger are to be admired for what they have done but it is no "case study" for any MBA school. How can anyone emulate their structure or logic?
We, as a nation, require better and more successful modes of operation. Whether you or I make some money is not the issue. What happens to us a nation is much more important. We need a better trading system and more honest trading companies. We need to feed those who need food and clothe those who are bare. We need to study our founding fathers and to emulate their successes. I fear it will never happen.

Summary: "Avoid this book, it will make you want to take a shower"
A snarky jerk travels to the Midwest and feels superior not just to good plain folks but relative to the oracle himself. Spare yourself from this trite travelogue. A collection of dull blog posts mashed together to make an instant book. Instantly disagreeable.

Summary: "A blogger wrote a book..now that's novel"
The author claims to be a hedge fund manager but he has an amazing amount of free time to do things like write a snarky blog and this book. The book is actually just a collection of his blog entries. Given how much has transpired with the economy and Buffett since the book was written, the book feels irrelevant already. I've always been interested in gleaning wisdom from the world's richest man but somehow it all gets lost when translated by Mr. Matthews. The book made feel foolish to revere Buffett but at the end of the day Buffett is worth billions and the guy who wrote this waste of time ...well.

Summary: "Light on Details and Facts"
As someone that has been to the annual meeting a number of times, I agree that the book was very light on details and would have been better left as blog entries. Perhaps, it was more insightful for those that haven't been to the annual meeting. Also, I found a number of inaccuracies in the book and it came across as not being well researched. One that I can think of off-hand is that he describes Buffett as a athiest, which is not accurate. Buffett has described his religious beliefs as agnostic for a number of years. These are not the same thing.

Summary: "review of BerkshireHathaway meeting book"
Excellent bird's eye view by someone with an interest. I have 50 shares of Berkshire B. Never go to a meeting, because I save the money for another share. There's always a lot written about the meetings. But this was like I was there. He even complained accurately about his rent car and trying to get something to eat. Just like I envisioned visiting anywhere with a sudden influx of 30K people. Good read.
