He amassed that fortune by paying that kind of attention to detail. He keeps his fortune by paying that kind of attention to detail. All great artists are great because of attention at the macro- and micro-level. To you it's disappointment. To him it's a missed opportunity because of a bad decision. An opportunity missed, whether great or little, is something the man clearly dislikes.
- learnstats2 12y agoBased on the detail given, I'm not even convinced that this was a bad decision for Buffet. Somebody else has $5b, but this is not a zero-sum game. Every decision, including this one, contributed towards Buffet's and Berkshire's position today. Presumably Buffet took that decision to rather invest the cash in something else - which has apparently done just fine.
