Buffet’s annual letter also warned investors not to expect rising profit numbers from Berkshire Hathaway’s core insurance business.  The Sage of Omaha said profit margins would fall and costs would “inexorably rise.”

Buffet said he could make these predictions with confidence because he had spent a long time crunching the numbers.
