Summary:

Warren Buffett is famous for his rules of investing: first, when a management with a reputation for brilliance tackles a business with a reputation for bad economics, it is usually the reputation of the business that remains intact; second, you should invest in a business that even a fool can run, because someday a fool will; third, never invest in a business you cannot understand. So when Buffett's friend and long-time partner in Berkshire Hathaway, Charlie Munger, suggested that they invest in BYD, an obscure Chinese battery, mobile phone (cell phone), and electric car company, one might have predicted Buffett would cite the rules above. He is, after all, a man who shunned the booming US tech industry during the 1990s.
