Warren Buffett tells our Becky Quick, with a chuckle, that maybe he has "lost his touch" as some critics have suggested, after a 30 percent decline in Berkshire Hathaway stock over the past 12 months.
But, the way he sees it, Berkshire beat the stock market, as measured by the S&P 500 index, making it not such a bad year after all.
Berkshire"s book value, Buffett"s favored measure, fell 9.6 percent in 2008. The S&P"s decline was much greater: down 37.0 percent.
Here"s Becky"s report from this morning"s Squawk Box, including an extensive excerpt of her on-camera conversation with Buffett over the weekend:
Current Berkshire stock prices:
Class A: [US;BRK.A 93998.0 
Class B: [US;BRK.B 3096.0
