Who is Warren Buffet ? Only someone who worked hard and smart his whole life. Someone who actually has set up a charity run by his 70 year old sister to give money to those they have researched that really need and deserve it. Warren Buffet walks the walk. Oh and did I mention he lives in the same house he bought in the 50's. Someone to listen to. Warren Buffet, among others said we were heading toward a recession last Sept/Oct. Who is Warren Buffet ?
