Everything you say is accurate. At the same time it's worth listening. Buffet's got a great understanding of business models in general and knows a lot more about high tech than people give him credit for -- starting with a close friendship with Bill Gates. Yes, it was a very general statement and I would love to know more but take it for what it is: he's recognizing a couple patterns (most stocks badly overvalued, hard to pick winners) that he's seen; and it seems like nobody's convinced him yet that they're on the short list of winners [or he probably would have mentioned them]. So, while he's not necessarily right, it's still very valuable input from a strategy perspective.
