Re : the "great" Warren Buffett -- just want to remind everyone that the "boys" at Leucadia (full name : Leucadia National Corp.)

whose names are :

Ian Cumming

and

Joseph Steinberg

have out-performed Warren Buffett's (and Berkshire Hathaway's) performance over a huge, extended period of time.

(And, via an easily observed, publicly-traded stock where they made all of the numerous (and non-correlated) investment decisions).

Has the "man on the street" heard of Leucadia, Ian Cumming, Joseph Steinberg ?

Of course not.

They are not out there with numerous obnoxious books written about them**, and pitching opening pitches at baseball games, or pretending that they like awful food like Dairy Queen and Cherry Coke, etc.

The Leucadia guys actually have my respect ...

Jon.
