"The activities of most professions are safe and necessary. If your wife is going to have a baby, it’s better to call the obstetrician rather than try to deliver it yourself. Most professions add value. But the investment profession does not do that, in aggregate. It makes $140 billion per year, and it basically does the same thing that one person could do if he spent ten minutes per year thinking about his investments. I can’t think of another business like that. Plus, the business is unique in that, the more you charge, the more money you bring in." said Warren Buffett.
