Jonathan, I am not an expert of Warren Buffet's investment career (have not read the book yet), but I have hear that he is one of the best INVESTOR. His company's market cap currently is over $100B. If you are saying that Buffet should consider himself lucky if he makes 40% return per year, why is he considered to be one of the best investors? How did he make all that money?=20 You have to make more than 40% return to become a billion(assuming you do not have a billion to invest in the first place) Maybe he is a GREAT businessman but not a good investor? Just trying to understand.
