Profits fell- but it's still profit. So? You guys sound like sore losers whining and complaining about someone else who is making money you could make but didn't have the balls to risk it. Get up and shake the dust off, shut up and move on with life.

Buffett is a "buy and hold" investor.

I don't think he cares what happens to the stocks in the days and weeks after he buys them.
