If cokes, burgers and razors are the real economy and everything else is an illusion, why don't you hold a ton of BRKB? Warren will be very disappointed. Maybe because growth is seriously limited and they are a lousy investment. Hmmmmmmmmmm. They are all very low-margin products with relatively low barriers to entry apart from multi-billion dollar brand name development that sucks out capital (kinda like AMZN - gggg). I hope your day to day hit and run trading luck holds out. Some folks produce incredible returns that way. Others get toasted. My first reaction to your 12% daily return is that you either have a small amount of money on the table, or you are taking large chances on short-term price movements. I am an old-fashioned guy that likes to hold 40-50 stocks and trade around a few positions too. Who woulda thought I had a more conservative approach? It's been fun, as always.
