Default Re: Four Ways To Use My Ideas

[ QUOTE ]

Warren Buffett took $100,000 and turned it into $50 billion buying stocks. He explained how he did it He scoured financial reports looking for companies with a competitive advantage selling at a significant discount to what an informed buyer would pay for the whole company. His time horizon was basically forever and once he bought a stock he did not let the price influence his decisions. He cited many other disciples with the same mind set who also achieved signicant performance. Why would a casual observer think they could improve on these methods? Bufffet has access to the best minds on Wall Sreet and laughs at trading, leverage, TA, short term trading and most exotiic investments. Either you can do what Buffett does or find someone who can and pay them to manage your money. Trying to use a horse handicapper to devine a system that will improve on Buffett seems extremley naive.

he's not attempting to improve on buffet. he's attempting to exploit the same mispricings buffet looks for, but with a different method. he's not claiming that it's better than what buffet does.
