"100% of the proceeds from the winning bid will benefit the Glide Foundation, one of the most comprehensive service providers working with the poor and homeless in San Francisco. Mr. Buffett will sit down with the highest bidder and up to seven of your friends for lunch in New York. A mutually agreed upon date and time for the lunch will be selected by Mr. Buffett and the winning bidder"

So would I??

No, absolutely not.

negatron.. lol

you can have lunch with him... but... that doesn't mean you'll walk away with $107000 worth of knowledge... nor his insight and intuition in the money market.

Divided by 7 that comes out to 15 thousand a pop. You could easily resell to a bunch of people for 20k or so and make a profit.

Or if you really do it get 6 others to drop 15k and you get advice and ability to sit down with one of the richest men. To some that is worth it.

Look at us we spend 15k on modding cars. We are the crazy ones.

Not necessarily. If you learn good enough info, you can then use it in your business and then techniqually you are reselling that info. Or maybe you can write down/record the info and then sell it to friends/people.

He is a billionaire who knows the stock market. He is very knowledgable when it comes to money basically.

You could start an auction to have lunch with you, but especially for members of this forum it would have to include you installing some parts.

this may be true... or using his info, you can use your personal experiences and publish a book...

yet, he already has a book produced (that's not readily availalbe to the public) regarding the secrets of investments, etc. i think i read some info on that little book on forbes (it was a summary)
