MPDan and CTB: patience is a relative word. By patient investors if CB means those who can wait another year for ROI that's bearable, but anything beyond is ridiculous. We are not talking of geo-strategic investments where 'investments' pay off after 20 or 30 years! This has got to be a LOT, LOT faster. But going by CB's history a year for us is a couple of minutes for him! So his meaning and measure of patience may be eternity for the rest of us.
