I haven't been too impressed with the stocks that Buffett and T&T have bought (and then sometimes quickly sold) in the last few years. Airlines, banks, HPQ, VZ, GM, CHV, ATVI, Malone alphabet soup etc.
They seem more like trades made by fund managers than buy and hold great compounders forever. Apple being the sole exception in the last decade or so.
I also feel Buffett missed out on the great opportunities presented by the GFC. He made a few bucks selling preferred shares to GE and big banks, but could have done much better buying Starbucks in 2009, or Costco or Visa/MC. He did buy V/MC, but should have bought more of them instead of the big banks.
