Warret Buffet's company just bought a railway for that amount. He reckons the US economy is on the way back up and he anticipates a rise in fuel costs which will give rail freight an advantage over trucks.
I watched Buffet (79) and his 85 year old vice president in a BBC documentary on iPlayer last night and both still have very sharp minds. But there has to come a time when the edge goes. How many 80 year old pro gamblers are there?
He's not senile, he's got the money, so what's the problem ?. The only thing is that he's probably not going to live long enough to see the final success ( or otherwise) of his investments made now.

Btw from the sound of things I definitely don't think you should consider gambling if and when you turn 80 yrs old. In fact, you might be wise to consider giving it up now.
