A noted bear on Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway, Doug Kass said Monday that he remained negative on the company after facing off at with the Oracle of Omaha over the weekend.
"I feel as strongly as I did before," he said on CNBC's "Fast Money."
"The stock was up actually only about 1 percent on a very strong insurance tape, despite better-than-expected numbers after the close on Friday, which benefited from low catastrophic experiences in their insurance line and a lot of investment gains," he added.
Berkshire Hathaway class A shares closed at $164,990, up $ 2,086.00, or 1.28 percent.
Kass, head of Seabreeze Partners Management, had been invited to present the bear case at Berkshire Hathaway's annual shareholder meeting in Omaha, which he likened to going to the "Woodstock of capitalism." Arguing the bull case was Buffett.

Asked whether he saw any other companies so intertwined with their iconic leaders, such as JPMorgan Chase and its CEO Jamie Dimon, Kass said that wasn't the case.
"Jamie doesn't pull the strings that Warren does," he said.
Kass was also asked whether he thought the company would be likely to negotiate preferred stock pricing without its 82-year-old chief executive.
"That was one of my questions, whether with him gone and the loss of the Buffett imprimatur, would he be able to get those deals?" Kass said. "His response was basically that, yes, I will be gone, but replacing my persona will be a huge amount of capital, and we will continue to be able to buy things very quickly. I'm not exactly sure if I agree with that."

Kass also declined to answer whether he thought the stock rally would continue.
"I don't know. I've been bearish since January," he said. "I'm a bad person to ask."
