I agree, to a certain extent. This is a unique global epochal event, one has to see some visibility before committing:
Also, Buffett has historically averaged in to many investment positions - as I have been doing. He specifically says he couldn't care less about timing a bottom, he cant. And if Warren cant I suspect most cant. Warren's holding period is "forever" (his term) mine is not quite
I like Buffet's style of investing. Buy for long term when deep discounted, sit on it for a couple of years, play lot of golf in the meanwhile instead of staring at the computer screen all day. I can't believe it is this easy to make money. When I had a full time job in private sector, it was 45 hours every week of hard work, plus 12-15 hours of side jobs part time consulting (my skills were in demand!). Man that was hard life, no time for golf or exercise.
