Re: Is there anyone living you would pay $16k to eat lunch with?
The things Buffett would tell you wouldn't be anything ground breaking. I think a good analogy would be if you wanted to have lunch with Barry Bonds and thought it would make you a great hitter. There's no secret to how you hit a baseball, it's just a matter of how good you are at doing those things.

Except hitting a baseball is a physical skill, investing is mental. Time with a great hitting coach (not necessarily Bonds) at the batting cages, for a very good hitter, could make for a tiny improvement in approach that he would use on his own over time to make for a meaningful improvement in results. Or a week at a good basketball camp. Or a conversation with a great thinker who is expert in a subject you know a lot about.
