Am I a sucker like Buffet and Lampert in going long the banks/financials?

  1. That actually is a good deal. If you made 10% a year for 7 years, then that would be a doubling...however, BOA has always increased its dividend to shareholders throughout the entire history of the stock. I dont think they can maintain the current dividend, but there will always be a dividend.

    So if you have 10% a year plus the dividend then you will probably have more then doubled your money in 7 years.

    Whatever, you do the math, but its a good investment that will beat the S&P500 return over a 7 year period..

    Has he ever taken a substantial drawdown?

    The point is the can hold for as long as he wants to.
