Live From Omaha: The Berkshire Hathaway Meeting a nice series of posts at fool.com, including:
Buffett cautioned, though, that the difference between investing on paper and investing with real money is like the difference between reading a romance novel and, as he delicately put it, “doing something else.” “There’s nothing like having a little experience in investing,” he said. Once you’ve done that, you can decide whether, as Buffett said, “it turns you on.”
On a final note, he gave a not-too-surprising suggestion to always look a stock in terms of the whole company. So, for example, if you’re thinking about buying GM (NYSE: GM) at $30, he said, you should consider whether you think the entire company is really worth $18 billion.
I wish someone would post a transcript or at least more details. If you know of a good source, please let me know.
