In an interview with Andrew Ross Sorkin on Squawk Box, Warren Buffett was asked if a $22 billion acquisition by Berkshire Hathway that didn’t pan out earlier this year; whether it might happen at some point in the future.
The conversation then went like this:
Warren Buffett:“When a girl hangs up on me once, I try again.That hasn’t been successful historically.I hope my batting average is better with companies.”
Andrew Ross Sorkin: “When you call back and her husband answers, normally that puts a dampener on things, right Warren?”
Warren Buffett:“Its certainly been tough when I called your house !”
