It's as simple as that. Even the market value of BRK is down.

Our normal charges on credit cards is around $2,000 a month, which is an acceptable level. I will never carry $16,000 balance on credit card and pay interests. Tim: Yeah, losing almost $200K in 15 months hurts a lot. Actually, I thought about putting up a chart of the Dow, but gave up that idea because, as you said, they will look a lot similar. Despite the losses, which are on paper anyway as I still hold those shares, I am not back away from stock markets. Time is on my side, so I can wait for the recovery. Hopefully, one year from now we will in a much better shape :) KP: About $14,000 of the total credit card balance is from cards with 0% APR.

Do you have a locked in rate for life? I am sure there is a pretty good reason you carry balance on credit card. The rate on CC has to be lower than MM. Do you pay interest on credit card balance?
