Jump in! The water is chilly but if you are brave it will soon be refreshing....Ahhh I think that we are in a similar or almost similar market condition as 73-74 era when he purchased many undervalued stocks, we can all buy right now and expect to have those types of returns in the next few years.

However, that's probably a one-time coup, and that's part of why the returns have been slowing down (to 50% above market returns, of course).

If my calculations are right, a $1,000 investment in 1967 would be worth almost $7 million today. And people "can't be bothered" with learning to invest on their own. Bear in mind that when Buffet started out, financial information wasn't as easily discovered as today. It took work and lots of it. Still saying, "Wow." Wow….just….wow.
