Warren Buffett's Question For Jack Welch

[Guest deepValue]

I always assumed WEB liked Jack Welch.

 

It's not that he doesn't like Jack Welch.  He's just interjecting in a debate and trying to enlighten...kind of like how everyone on here does!  ;D  Cheers!

 

Anyone hear of the "Alwaleed of Omaha" story?  It seems when Al-Waleed, the Saudi owner of Kingdom Holdings told WEB that he was especially proud when called "Warren Buffett of the Gulf", WEB replied that he was proud when he was called "Al Waleed of Omaha".  To me, that is the take downs of all take downs from WEB with all its subtlety and humor.  (I read this story in some Middle East newspaper a year or so ago)

 

I continue to miss the "subtle takedowns" you guys are discovering in Buffett's comments. Buffett is a funny guy; nothing in his personal history or personality suggests that he's handing out underhanded compliments left and right.
