Instead of focusing on Warren Buffett and Burlington Northern (BNI) today, I am making a Buffett-like bet.

I have written about CNA Financial Corp. (CNA) in the past recommending a trade involving selling put options with a $7.50 strike. It was the biggest risk-reward trade I could find at the time. Turned out to be a good trade.
