I was using it to refer to a very compelling risk/ reward situation or high-probability insight. But I agree, it is very poor terminology. And everyone sees different opportunity based on their circle of competence, so maybe I was being unfair to Buffett. I just think given the way he latched onto news media as a younger man that he could have made the leap.

OT No brainier = a stock that has, in hindsight, gone up. Lesson learned = a stock that, in hindsight, has gone down Screaming buy = stock that is plummeting and you don't have a clue. Bubble = a stock going up and you don't have a clue. Short squeeze = a bubble stock you don't own Damn short sellers = a bubble stock you do own but is plummeting back to break even. Value opportunity =. A stock trending down but it doesnt make sense Growth opportunity = a stock trending down but it doesn't make sense. Stupid market, lemmings, neophytes, or sheep = stocks that are ridden to zero. A good investment = a stock that is doing what you expect to the amazement of all onlookers. Hope this helps. And remember the only way to loose a lot of money is to be absolutely sure.
