Investing is not for you if you are always uncomfortable betting against Buffett, if you need to hinge on his every word and action religiously. That would mean you are not capable of independent thinking on your own. Buffett is extremely good for what he has to manage, but he is also limited.

For example - The simple reason that I am bullish on Apple is its ecosystem. I don't agree with Buffett on footing a hefty tax bill to get out of Apple at this time (except that I would not know if he had other motivations). I am keen on BYD long term and also some other Chinese stocks at this price (even after such a big move last week). I didn't like OXY but got into Marathon Oil instead, but soon bailed on that position with a small profit. It was just not appealing in comparison to my other alternatives - in terms of pricing and my ability to visualize its future in my own way.

OXY might as well turns out to be a winning trade for Buffett and I don't really care one way or another. I much prefer to go my own obscure direction to look for my own pot of gold.
