Not sure we’d agree but Michael Steinhardt, chairman, WisdomTree Investments, reveals his honest opinions about Warren Buffett, whom he says has managed to con virtually everyone in the press and calls greatest PR person of modern times. He also discusses the economy, the Fed and “Sokol-gate.” His comments on Buffet start around the 7:30 mark in the video.
