Woodstock for Finance ... rock on!) and he openly says that the guy with $1 Mill. will make MUCH better returns than himself ... in exactly the ways that Kyle recommends. The alternative is for 'dumb money ... to become smart money' [Warren's words] by dollar-cost averaging into broad-based Index Funds: there is NO in-between! From now on, Kyle, you can also write MY blog :) Kyle is right on the money; I was just in Omaha (met the man, signed the t-shirt … Woodstock for Finance … rock on!) and he openly says that the guy with $1 Mill. will make MUCH better returns than himself … in exactly the ways that Kyle recommends.

He bought his stake in PetroChina after reading the latest annual report and without doing any other due diligence. He certainly talks to management when he buys companies outright, but even then I'd be surprised if he spent more than a couple of hours with them.

I'd bet against him getting 50%+ if he only had a million.
