This link between temperature and the slowing down of development of ectotherms could possibly support the 'rate of living hypothesis' whereby lower temperature promotes longevity by slowing down the rate of reaction of various metabolic processes which affect development and life history.
Berkshire Hathaway also has large minority shareholdings in several blue-chip American firms, including American Express, Coca-Cola, IBM and Wells Fargo.Mr Buffett's career has made him a living rebuke to the "efficient-markets hypothesis" once beloved of financial economists, which says that the current market price always reflects all available and relevant information about a firm.
