BrandoFan Posted February 27, 2004 Share Posted February 27, 2004 The biggest gainer in sheer dollars was Warren Buffett, who added $12.4 billion to his net worth and now is only a few billion dollars shy of ending Bill Gates' ten-year reign as the richest person on the planet I don't know why but I've always held him in the highest regard. Go Birkshire Hathaway, go!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably because he is the smartest investor ever to live. He was the one big timer during the internet tulips phase that said the market was insane and was going to crash. Guess who was the only large company to make money in 2001? That's right Berkshire Hathaway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrandoFan Posted February 27, 2004 Share Posted February 27, 2004 In any case, now we know why my hometown is #1 in the world in the amount of Bentleys and exotic sportscars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was the one big timer during the internet tulips phase that said the market was insane and was going to crash. Guess who was the only large company to make money in 2001? That's right Berkshire Hathaway. And he made a lot of people around him very wealthy. The oracle of Omaha is definately the sharpest investor out there. You have to give him credit, he earned everything, unlike the pompous prick Donald Trump. Only thing I give Donald Trump credit for was bringing himself back after he damn near bankrupted himself. He inherited all that money and I know if I had that play money to use, I could of invested and made some fortunes as well. One day I'll get to have some play money...I just got to work my ass off and get rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Working at a trading desk, we have some real idiot trustfund type people who just piss away their money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
