Kass, Berkshire’s Bear, is ready to 'surprise' Buffett

Hedge fund trader Doug Kass had his first brush with fame at the age of 10, when he appeared on a US television quiz show, Tic-Tac-Dough, and won every day for a week.

More than five decades later, Kass might find another sort of celebrity this Saturday when he will have the opportunity to quiz billionaire investor Warren Buffett at Berkshire Hathaway’s annual meeting in Omaha, Nebraska.

Buffett in March handpicked Kass, founder of hedge fund Seabreeze Partners Management, to be Berkshire’s first “credentialed bear” to attend the meeting, and “spice things up.”
