Elio Aficionado
Warren Buffet has invested in Autos before. He has invested millions into BYD motors in China which unfortunately can not be purchased in the U.S.A. I have rented one when when in Europe and I think they would sell well hereYeah, there's no chance Buffett would invest in either company. His investment philosophy is to turn millions into billions with safe, moderately high return investments that most people don't have access to. I don't really understand why Buffett is so revered in the investment world. Sure, he has done well for himself, but his investment strategies aren't really novel. He just executes them well and had a lot of money to start with.
This focus on "Buffett-style" investments is one of the reasons why we have so much money sitting on the sidelines instead of funding things like the Elio. If more people were emulating venture capital style investors instead, we'd have much more technological progress.
