From the Paper:

"Through his leading by example and his philosophy of remaining very much a part of all of the companies that he acquires, Warren Buffet has modeled the dedication that he expects others to reflect. Consistency has been a pillar in Buffet's actions. Though he is known world wide as an investment genius, Buffet does not comment on his current holdings. He does not want to cause artificial inflation of his stock, nor does he want to leave the public expecting pronouncements on his holdings. He has remained focused on compiling strong stock holdings for his investors, which has lead to the immense success of Berkshire Hathaway. The example that Buffet has set is not easily attained, but it sets a strong president to those that wish to succeed."
