This is probably a buying opportunity. Warren Buffett still has a pile of cash with which he can buy distressed companies and assets, and we like Berkshire's growing pipeline and natural gas business.
That said, Buffett's age is a concern (he's 78), as is his recent dabbling in equity derivatives.
Our advice: HOLD
