Dood, I'm sorry, but your comprehension is so fcking askew I'll just have to cease from attempting to reason with you. You're beginning to be contradictory in your defense, and your arguments more and more unstable. When someone, such as yourself, has all the answers, one is foolish to try to help them see what is what. It is indeed "casting pearls before swine". At first you said Buffet, as a capital manager was a "thinker". You said "The real work is the thinking work"* You said "WARREN BUFFET DOES THE REAL WORK" Then praised yourself....."I do the real work now, managing capital." [WOW DOOD, YOU'RE RIGHT UP THERE WITH WB!] When I point out the obvious... like capital growth via a stock like Apple requires no effort... if you bought 10,000 shares of APPLE in the 80's when it was 3 bucks a share and held them until today you would have 560,000 shares today and your $30,000 investment would be worth $63,369,600 today (hey, you could buy that diamond).The fact is... if you didnt touch the shares the value created via the stock would be the result of the labor of tens of thousands of people... NOT YOUR OWN. Suddenly you shift gears and now Buffet is nothing more than a lucky idiot and a shrewd insider whose philanthropy is too little, too late . You fail to see that giving the money back to society rewards both those who worked in the businesses he owned and those who patronized them.... and humanity in general. MQ, YOU'RE A POSER Good luck with your money and your life... I think you will need it!
