Hi Guys,
Yes, a few days ago I was surprised and delighted to learn that Warren Buffett has incorporated many references in his writings that pair investment and sex comparisons.
I always knew that Buffett is a multi-dimensional expert; a true renaissance man.
But I never suspected that he is also a dirty old-man (not to be taken too seriously). I was not aware of this inclination until I read the Motley Fool’s Morgan Housel. Housel has painstakingly researched past Buffett publications and has found numerous quotations with the investment-sex coupling.
Here is the Link to Housel’s article:

It’s interesting to note that this same article was first issued in 2009. Here is the Link to that original piece:
http://www.fool.com/investing/value/2009/07/13/warren-buffett-on-sex.aspxJust like investment advice, there is a lot of recycling everywhere. I assume Housel was paid twice. That’s never happened to me.
Buffett is likely the most quoted financial wizard ever. That’s an earned accolade given his humor and his market wisdom. I was completely unfamiliar with the witticisms that Housel uncovered.
I was only familiar with his more conventional sayings like: “Be fearful when others are greedy and greedy when others are fearful”.
My knowledge horizons have again been elevated by Morgan Housel’s stimulating, funny, and often off-center articles. I thank him for that, and I thank you for reading my post.
Best Regards.
