He's not the grandaddy of anything but the weasel of everything. He is a master of sneakery and grabery. If you traced his holdings back and uncovered the paperwork and documentation from every single holding back to its roots, including everything that was said involving those holdings, you would find a different story from what is known today.

He is originally a monkey himself, a self made monkey who now tries to boss around other monkeys. What he does is not investing.

He once said he could make 50% every year if he was not constrained by size. This is impossible and implies that he has some devious inside track on the market.

If I said I could make 50% a year in a fund you'd call me a fraud. Even if I did it for two years you'd still say I was doing something illegal.

But Buffett can say this and attract money to his stock. He announces that he could make 50% if he could invest anyway he wants. People hear this bullshit and put money into BRK.

People should be warned, Buffett should be told to shut up. Anybody investing on Warren's word should think again.

This man is a real sleazy prick. He is no friend of the average American.

Give Buffett Credit: He Tells It Straight

Warren loved that story of building low cost homes for the masses. Sell them a trailer home. Get them into a trailer park and charge them rent for the land. Charge them for services. Build a corner convenience store and charge them for milk and bread. Build a gas station and get them that way. Put Geico advertisements in their mailboxes and sell them insurance. Get them hooked and up the prices 5% every year.
