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.
