Warren Buffett is amazing. It can't just be luck. He has being doing it for nearly 50 years. It can't be just what he says it is. Value investing and putting the right people in place. There has to be more to it.

(Repeating) (from 9/22/2005) (the "great") Warren Buffett's stock unchanged in price from about 7 1/2 years earlier I guess we'll see what a normal or bad hurricane season does (later this year) ... -------------------------------------------------------------- Message 21727005 (Off topic) : (the "great") Warren Buffett's stock is at a new low for the year; and (I believe) now roughly unchanged in price from about 7 1/2 years ago (early 1998) (and, with (I believe) zero dividends during those 7 1/2 years, too). I guess one can clearly get "hosed" if a huge portion of your business is insurance exposure that "hopes" that : weather patterns that come and go like clockwork (the 1930s, I believe, had many warm and hurricane intensive years, as predicted by some oscillating ocean current) ... somehow magically never reappear.
