If you want to get a very interesting view on not only the economy, but business practices you need to read Warren Buffett's letter to his shareholders. Unlike most CFO's he takes responsibility for errors in judgement. The report came out Saturday February 28, 2009. He reported that 2008 was the legendary investor's worst year ever. It also reported a grim fourth quarter, though it eked out a slight gain. (Berkshire's annual letter to shareholders.)
I think that Warren Buffett, called the Oracle of Omaha, is the only person the can write a report to the shareholders that is interesting to read. In one statement on a acquisition he quoted a country and western song lyric that went "I liked you better before I got to know you."
It is worth the time to read. Check it out.
