Default Re: Is there anyone living you would pay $16k to eat lunch with?

L4TV,

I didn't say you are a two-year-old, just that you seem to have little realistic concept about what you would gain from a one to two hour conversation with Warren Buffett.

Let's say you are Julian Robertson and you are talking to George Soros about certain global macroeconomic factors or currency arbitrage strategies, that's one thing. But if you sit down w/ George for an hour and are like "yo, George, let's chat a little bit about leveraging global macroeconomic factors in trading decsions" you're likely to get a helluva lot less out of that than poring over his writings and strategies.

The same goes for Buffett. To think that you as an individual investor are going to get insights into investing that are different or deeper than what you'd get out of his books/articles/strategies from a single lunch with him is just plain silly.
