Oracle of Omaha assumed Delphic role as Arnold's economic adviser in California governorship race. Maybe because he was so dismayed with governance in the corporate sphere: "Accountability and stewardship withered in the last decade." Takes some of the blame personally. "Too often I was silent when management made proposals that I judged to be counter to the interests of shareholders." Otherwise an impeccable track record. Studied under investment guru Benjamin Graham at Columbia. Applied value investing principles to build Berkshire Hathaway into $116 billion (market cap) holding company: insurance (General Re, Geico), substantial stakes in American Express, Coca-Cola, Gillette, Wells Fargo. Also wide assortment of operating companies that tickle Warren's fancy: Fruit of the Loom, Pampered Chef, NetJet. Believes Berkshire should be a "fortress of financial strength." Has been just that: stock up nearly 50% in the past year.
