George,

not linkbait but an honest observation. I have actually been posting on this on the blog for a while now. Between Fox and CNBC, Buffett has almost become a weekly contributor. Having Becky Quick with him on all his trips? Since when has Buffett ever been so visible?

The things of it is, he really does not have anything new to say anymore. It isn't just him, I do not think anyone could given the exposure...

I don't find his wisdom on investing tiresome but he seems to be succumbing to what I would call "the Nobel Prize winner effect". That is, assuming that after one has achieved great success in one field one has broad competence in things well beyond one's field of expertise.

I wonder if this story is just some good linkbait by Todd or whether Todd is actually being a contrarian on Buffett. I personally can't get enough of Buffett's wisdom. It's fairly typically to hear a lot from Buffett in May and I actually think I've heard a little less from him this year than I did last year.

VIN should be "Buffet Investing News" so far in May. Todd Sullivan explains why too much Buffett may be a bad thing.
