I'm remembering (mis-remembering?) 2008...Buffett does all these deals, which were nice, but couldn't he (and we) have done so much better just buying stocks?
While some of the preferred/warrants deals with BAC, GS, GE made money and some like USG were disastrous, there was much more money to be made buying equity of SBUX, Apple and AXP in 2008/09.
It has been my costliest of missed opportunities passing up on the trio. All were on my watchlist and I should have bought them instead of trying to follow Buffett.
His portfolio moves in mega banks, big oil, airlines, TSMC are even more puzzling and don't tempt me to follow him any longer.
