  • Buffett's Betrayal [View article]
    Is the author a disillusioned groupie or an opportunist trying to free-ride on Buffet's fame? I have no idea.

    What I do know is that Buffet is a CEO/Investor in charge of a company. His job is to seek best returns for his company. He owes nobody else, include the author, any favors.

    The media and an investment public hungry for star power made him into a supernatural, morally perfect investment saint. So maybe Buffet made the mistake by playing along with that surreal image a little bit, but if he had taken up that role too seriously, he would have failed his own rule of offering "competent management" to Bershire's stakeholders (stock and bond holders, employees) and would have become a failure long ago.

    I actually find the author's display of a prevalent sense of righteousness and entitlement to be pretentious and rather odious.
