I hadn't heard this story before, but it is well worth sharing. I read it on Richard Russell's Dow Theory Letters (subscription required.)
As Russell tells the story, one day someone asked Buffett: "Warren, let's say you're dead and lying in your open coffin. What would you like someone to say as they gazed down into your open coffin?"
Warren thought a bit and replied: "I'd like them to say: 'Look, I think he moved!'"
The only thing Warren Buffett has ever shown is that he can make money in the greatest bull market in history.

I agree with you... but I still think that his line about his coffin is worthy of some recognition.

Anyway, the sarcasm in Buffett's statement is perfect. It is the absolutely perfect answer to the question.
And, it is obvious that Gray has read nothing about Buffett. And, it is obvious Gray doesn't understand the equities market. The web is forever...
