Then again, nobody said that you had to make money Warren's way ... or mine ;) After all, Moom's gone from $50k to $500k Net Worth in just 5 years ... if you want to invest Moom's way, he has a great blog: http://moominhouse.blogspot.com/ @ Moom – But, then you’re really investing neither in “a little piece of ALL of Corporate America” as Buffett himself SUGGESTS, nor in a handfull of undervalued businesses as he DOES.

I don't think anyone should put a huge proportion of their net worth into BRK but it makes sense to put a little (I have 2% of mine in BRK) and in a bunch of other good investors, for example LUK. Of course, you want to buy when they look cheaper... Buffett has been saying this for years and keeps cranking out good returns for BRK shareholders (including me).

You had me ... until you mentioned 'speculating'; there is a 'safe' and profitable in-between: it's taking a bet on a few good businesses that the market is currently underpricing and buying their stocks and holding for the long-term. It's what Warren Buffett does ... but, it hardly counts as speculating :) @ notworried – Thanks!

Not everyone can stomach the porfolio volatility. But if you can ( a necessary trait for those in the business of speculating), the market bench mark is lunch money. You nailed it.
