Mr Warren Buffett, the sage of Omaha, (the place, not the game), who first used the analogy I believe, rarely gets it wrong. He is one of my lifetime heroes, right up there with Brunel, & one of the great economic thinkers of our time.

Try googling "the sayings of Warren Buffett", or reading a few of the books about him - there are dozens.

A most extraordinary man.
