re: It goes like this: (2 "r's, 2 "f's" and 2 "t's"). Speaking of Benjamin Graham, do you pronounce that "h" between the two "a's" so it sounds like Graaaa.....haaaaam with two vowel sounds, or do you drop the "h" and pronounce it with only one vowel sound so it sounds like Graaaam? Personally, I like the double vowel sound with the "h" used between the vowels when I say it. and Remember, it's always 2 "r's", 2 "f's" and 2 "t's" when speaking of Warren Buffett. You can always alter that formula slightly to read 2 "m's", 2 "f's" and 2 "t's" if you want to uh, ok. actually, i don't think buffet cares how his name is spelled in some chat room. probably more concerned about people's thinking re investing. prolly would be a bit more concerned to see the way some consider investing their entire portfolio in three or four stocks with infinite PEs & teenage PSRs to be a kind of value investing aligned with His Philosophy.

In fact there is an easy formula which is much quicker typically, that would be preferable to which in the above type of construct. see TCMS.

me - especially really, an em-dash is preferable in the above type of environment. may be represented by two hyphens (no spaces) in plaintext.

quicker to run than a DCF strictly speaking, this should be a DCFA.

It's just that difference between standing in a line for an all-you-can-eat buffet and the family name of Mr. Warren Buffett that always gets me the It's just that in the above is not a preferred construct due to the ambiguity in interpretation between dependent clause and definite article. better here would be It's just that the, or even (more informally) It's just the.

the family name of Mr. Warren Buffett personally, i would choose surname or last name in lieu of family name as a more culture-neutral term. e.g., i wouldn't want to imply that warren buffet has a family simply because he has a name. that might make people with no family feel sad and inadequate...disenfranchised, even. and like...persons living in non-filial social structures? i have to think about their feelings...
