I've been associated with Warren ( Buffett) so long, I thought I'd be just a footnote.

People like the robber barons assumed that the doctrine of the survival of the fittest authenticated them as deserving power. You know, "I'm the richest. Therefore, I'm the best. God's in his heaven, etc." And that reaction of the robber barons was so irritating to people that it made it unfashionable to think of an economy as an ecosystem. But the truth is that it is a lot like an ecosystem. And you get many of the same results.

The investment game always involves considering both quality and price, and the trick is to get more quality than you pay for in price. It's just that simple.
