Warren Buffet did not make his fortune as an absentee investor playing the stock market. Not even close.
He invested one-on-one, in businesses he thoroughly understood, after a lot of research and understanding of the business. Think less scanning a spreadsheet or stock data and more CNBC's "The Profit" -- walking around a factory floor, looking through accounts receivable, talking to the assembly team, talking to customers. THEN making a decision to invest a lot of money and steer the direction of the business.
