Parsad Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 When asked about building a circle of competence, after a lovely long answer by Buffett, Charlie responds: "There is an advantage in specialization. No one wants a doctor who is half dentist and half proctologist!" Classic! Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parsad Posted May 4, 2019 Author Share Posted May 4, 2019 One more near the end of the meeting...when asked about why See's never became as big as Mars or Hershey. Again, after an expansive answer by Warren, Charlie responds: "We've failed at growing See's like you've failed at winning the Nobel Prize and immortality! It's just too hard for us!" Cheers!
