Really? So mutual funds that buy and sell for the longer term as Buffet does did as well? I would venture to say that 25k bought an decent house in 1965....is it worth 75mill today? I mean....you paid no tax on it? Why is Buffet a hypocrite?

They easy money? 1000 shares of BRKA in 1965...$24000 investment.....is worth $75mill today. Easy money? I guess everybody did as well!
