Airline stocks: Buffett losses are made worse by impatience

Warren Buffett is widely quoted as saying: “The stock market is a device for transferring money from the impatient to the patient.” His investment in the four largest U.S. airlines through Berkshire Hathaway Inc. now appears to be one of those transfers.
