Warren Buffett Buys Tiffany's and Harley Davidson Bonds

Somehow our post on this never got published, so we're going through and attaching the recent Tiffany's news as well. If you've missed it, Warren Buffett earlier was buying $300 million of Harley Davidson's (HOG) bonds in a private transaction. And, yet again, Buffett has secured an awesome deal for himself with ridiculous interest rates.

Now, much more recently, via ZeroHedge, we see that Buffett has bought $250 million worth of 10% Notes in Tiffany's (TIF) that mature in 2017 and 2019. Buffett has been busy buying American icon brands and if I were a wagering man I'd say that trend is likely to continue as he puts money to work in a time when he sees great opportunity. Hell, he had even mentioned possibly buying back Berkshire stock.
