My cred is reflected in the charts.

If cred's in the charts, then Buffett's got you beat for decades. He's been doing this for more than five seconds, unlike you, and has made far more money than you could ever possibly hope to make.

WB's wealth coincides with his age, nationality and the economics of his time. He was a smart chap, obviously, but his country is now on the verge of being usurped by China, his country's currency is now on the verge of collapse, the stock markets are on the verge of catastrophic collapse, yet he still utters the same bullshit philosophy regardless. In short, he's a dinosaur, ignoring a very big comet.

I have respect for what he's done, but not for what he's doing, which is denying that there's a comet on the way. History frequently changes and establishments collapse into the abyss on a regular basis. WB obviously doesn't grasp this, or else is motivated to fight it for his own sake or for the sake of his country. He cannot fight it for much longer, regardless of his age, for all the data/reports show that the 'American dream' is turning out to be the biggest fucking disappointment of all time.
