The Innovator, the Imitator, the Idiot

From The Big Picture :

Today's credit crisis quote comes to us via Theodore Forstmann of of Forstmann Little & Company :


"Buffett once told me there are three 'I's in every cycle. The 'innovator,' that's the first 'I.' After the innovator comes the 'imitator.' And after the imitator in the cycle comes the idiot."

-Theodore Forstmann, quoting Warren Buffett
