Buffet against this deal
Buffet is the chairman of Krafts biggestshareholder- Berkshire Hathaway. I have a lot of doubts, Mr. Buffett said, adding
that he would vote against the bid if he had thechance.
Mr. Buffett warned Kraft against overpaying forthe UK company earlier this month, and votedagainst its original plan to issue 370million newshares to pay for the deal.
Despite his view that Kraft paid too much, Mr.Buffett said he won't be selling his stake in thecompany, best known for its cheese slices andMaxwell House coffee.
He said doing so was writing Cadbury a blank
cheque because Krafts stock is undervalued.
