alwaysinvert Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 Well, if anyone in this story is making stupid statements for the purpose of self-promotion, it would be this person. At least now I know better then to pick up the book that is conveniently mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dealraker Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 All this focus on whether Buffett is lucky (Taleb) or has aged into stupidity for buying BNI (Greenwad). Funny stuff really. Envy: The only sin that gives no pleasure. I remember well a temporarily esteemed investor writing: "No one should buy the stock of Berkshire Hathaway because Buffett admits he does not understand technology stocks." That investor was happy to announce that they had 100% of their money in tech (March 2000). I find it incredible that readers think that Buffett has ever-ever-ever bought a popular stock. He's always wrong people! That's why he's Warren Buffett or Warren Un-Buffett or whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
