He seems like a nice guy. Let's give him a 15% discount.

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.

Step 1: Bet my friends I wouldn't be able to eat lunch with XXXXX.
Step 2: Make sure amount from step 1 is >= 16,000.
Step 2 note: Amount can be lower than 16,000 if deemed lunch with XXXXX is worth a lesser amount than 16,000 but greater than 0.
Step 3: Pay 16,000 and enjoy a great lunch with XXXXX.
Step 4: Collect 16,000+ from friends.

Enjoy!

This question is loaded because 16k is just a figure of money, it can be worth different things to different people, especially when you consider how much some people have compared to others.

All I'm saying is that somewhere in between Julian Robertson and "yo lets talk about stocks and [censored]" there are individual investors with enough money and knowledge to get something out of a conversation. I couldn't, but that doesn't mean someone couldn't.

I still vote for Joe D. tho.

If these people were forced to answer your questions honestly this would be a lot better.

As is, hell no.
