The key perhaps is in the first word... investment... :rolleyes:
Again, it just proves you don't understand, despite your flailing claims.
So, you are asking a forum why Buffett isn't doing something? :laugh:
Surely that's a question for Buffett himself.
But here goes, as I would have thought for someone who has studied the great Sage as much as you have, I would have thought some of the answers were pretty obvious.
Buffett doesn't get involved in things he doesn't understand, which is smart. Its why he took so long to get involved in China and by the time he did it was too late and he I'm sure regrets that move, but you probably know more about that than I would.
Buffett has said he's not into the macro. It's a pretty fundamental part of trading.
Buffett is an investor looking to at least five year horizon & beyond & is not into short term gains, that's exactly the opposite of most traders outlook.
In summary its not a good fit.
But again, that's a question for him.
Hey, but as you said it's a big wide world out there and amazingly a lot of it doesn't involve Buffett.
Why isn't he involved in credit markets?
Why isn't he involved the bond market? etc etc
He could be an investor in any of those things but as far as I'm aware doesn't as he sticks to his knitting.
