George,

You're right. I have done pretty well in the market with no talent or imagination whatsoever just mimicking Buffet's buys, holds, and sells -- on a much, much smaller scale, of course.

>Nothing wrong with that. Reminds me of something I said once to my friend Roger Greene. Roger is a Hollywood film editor. At the time, he was working with Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong on one of their films. I told him to tell them that I thought that they were "great capitalists". The knew, understood, and played to their market. From what I recall, they appreciated the remark.:-)
