But the US positions hold \u201cmore hidden value than people think,\u201d Cramer said. In fact, \u201cI bet that Warren Buffett wouldn\u2019t mind cherry-picking some divisions, including the one that AIG still has to sell.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"textBodyBlack\"><span id=\"byLine\"><\/span>Speaking of those AIG subsidiaries, Cramer said the US government is finally starting to realize the value of its holdings because those AIG assets have accrued in value of the past year. He recommended that Washington do an offering the next time the stock spikes in order to get more money back.<\/p>\n<p class=\"textBodyBlack\"><span id=\"byLine\"><\/span>Cramer also thinks the MetLife deal is a winner. And while Chrysler might not offer any returns, GM could if we get the 11 million autos sold that <b><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoobserver.com\/2010\/01\/auto-industry-believes-2009-close-bodes-well-for-2010.html\"><strong>the industry has predicted<\/strong><\/a><\/strong><\/b>. This company in particular would interest Buffett, Cramer said, because GM commands the biggest market share in China, home of Berkshire-owned BYD electric cars.<\/p>\n<p class=\"textBodyBlack\"><span id=\"byLine\"><\/span>Even more exciting, though, might be the cash generated by Fannie and Freddie\u2019s transactions fees. Granted, the mortgage portfolios owned by these two companies are \u201cnightmarish,\u201d Cramer said, but the government could sell off the various fee-based businesses \u2013 to Berkshire, whose insurance firms throw off similar cash.<\/p>\n<p class=\"textBodyBlack\"><span id=\"byLine\"><\/span>In short, the US government right now is running a \u201cpoor man\u2019s Berkshire Hathaway,\u201d Cramer said. And the holdings are so spot on that you might think the feds bought these stocks on purpose rather than through historic bailouts. The government might consider setting up a holding company to dispose of all of these holdings just to get the best prices possible.<\/p>\n<p class=\"textBodyBlack\"><span id=\"byLine\"><\/span>\u201cIn fact,\u201d Cramer said, \u201cthe government owes it to the taxpayers to do just that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"textBodyBlack\"><a name=\"comments\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Share Investor Links<\/span><\/a><a name=\"comments\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.shareinvestorblog.com\/\">Share Investor Blog<\/a> &#8211; Stockmarket &amp; Business commentary<br \/>Discuss this topic @<a href=\"http:\/\/www.shareinvestorforum.com\/\"> Share Investor Forum<\/a> &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/shareinvestorforum.com\/ucp.php?mode=register&amp;sid=450a61250472e03fa25c205c9c1723f1\"><strong>Register<strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/a> free<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/shareinvestorforum.com\/viewtopic.php?f=36&amp;t=140&amp;p=1013#p1013\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Download the 2009 Warren Buffett Letter &amp; 2009 Annual Report to Berkshire Hathaway Shareholders<\/span><\/a><br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/shareinvestorforum.com\/viewtopic.php?f=36&amp;t=140&amp;start=15#p960\"><span><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Download the 1977 &#8211; 2009 Warren Buffett Letter&#8217;s to Berkshire Hathaway Shareholders<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Recommended Amazon Reading<\/span><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">var addthis_pub=\"shareinvestor\";<\/script><\/p>\n<table id=\"searchResults\" cellspacing=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr class=\"clsEven\">\n<td class=\"tdimage\"><a href=\"http:\/\/astore.amazon.com\/shareinvestorbookstore-20\/detail\/1439149372\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/ecx.images-amazon.com\/images\/I\/41qXBx8NLxL._SL75_.jpg\" alt=\"Warren Buffett's Management Secrets: Proven Tools for Personal and Business Success\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<td class=\"tddescription\"><a href=\"http:\/\/astore.amazon.com\/shareinvestorbookstore-20\/detail\/1439149372\">Warren Buffett&#8217;s Management Secrets: Proven Tools for Personal and Business Success<\/a> by <span class=\"by\">Mary Buffett<\/span><br \/>   Buy new:        $16.50       \/ Used from:        $13.20<br \/><span class=\"availability\">Usually ships in 24 hours<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"clsOdd\">\n<td class=\"tdimage\"><a href=\"http:\/\/astore.amazon.com\/shareinvestorbookstore-20\/detail\/0060555661\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/ecx.images-amazon.com\/images\/I\/41rcIrKhYiL._SL75_.jpg\" alt=\"The Intelligent Investor: The Definitive Book on Value Investing.
