Warren Buffett Washed Up? Think Again. (BRKA)

Every few years, an enlightened business writer declares Warren Buffett out-gunned by a new breed of investors. This, of course, is wonderful news for Berkshire (BRKA) shareholders -- the article provides a clear signal that Mr. Market has fallen into a periodic manic depression.

Excerpt from the latest round of Buffett bashing:

If I were a Berkshire shareholder these days, I'd be fed up with watching Buffett stand in the batters' box with his bat on his shoulder, much like a washed-up baseball star who has overstayed his welcome. I'd be wondering if the 75-year-old chairman of Berkshire Hathaway should be considering hanging up the cleats on a dazzling career (fortunately I am not a shareholder as I've been boycotting the stock until such time that Buffett splits Berkshire shares 10,000-to-1 to accommodate us minor-league investors).

Wow. With an interesting conclusion:

And if Buffett doesn't get the bat off his shoulder soon, his stockholders may be the ones yelling, "Swing, you bum!"

Gyle Konotopetz, if I were your editor I'd remind you that when writing articles it's better to wait for a fat pitch and one that is actually inside (or at the very least, somewhat close to) your circle of competence.
