On a related note, I remember when Buffet started investing in rail. As with virtually everything he does there was a chorus of analysts calling him senile and subsequently laughing at the lack of instant returns. Although his incredible bankroll surely affords him an ability to invest in ways others simply can't, he consistently seems to "get it" in ways others just don't.
