"I hate to be controversial, but why are so many people on this board fixated with Warren Buffet?"

I don't think you are being "controversial" at all. I agree with you. I hope you don't misconstrue my Buffett comments as a "fixation" on Buffett.

I posted a reply to someone who thought Warren Buffett is "senile". In hindsight, my response was not appropriate to this individual.

I am not fixated with Warren Buffett: I would not buy any of his current holdings except for HR Block -- at a much lower price.

He has been a very successful investor and it is interesting to hear how he made his money. But I agree with you that we all need to have individual financial plans to succeed with an appropriate risk/return model.

I much prefer to read about Paul Senior & the regulars on this thread (TimbaBear) -- and what they are buying.

To be honest with you, I have a lot more interest in Charlie Munger. His insights, as discussed in OID, are a tremendous resource. But I will stop a Charlie discussion. I don't want to be accused of a "fixation" on Charlie.... :)

MCSweet -- it's good to hear from you. I believe the Tyco issue was the last time I had a chance to exchange thoughts. You post some great ideas & thoughts.
