Buffett saw merits of Occupy Wall St

"Sir Isaac might well have gone on to discover the fourth law of motion: For investors as a whole, returns decrease as motion increases.

I recently sold some stock in an odd account. Automatic phone transaction, "if you sell at market today, it will cost you "$$$", if you sell tomorrow it will cost you "$ ".

Next up , if you want your check in 1-3 days it will cost you $$$ if you want your check in 5-10 days it will cost you "$".

Then you get to the bank and deposit the check "$$$" and of course only "$" is available in the next 10 minutes, after 2 days 2 hours and 10 minutes, then you can access "$$". Some point in the near future you can have the rest of your money, even in cash if you give ten days notice.
