      buffett is a smart investors if the stock has good potential and is paying a dividends to investors he'd buy that stock righ away
      but buffetr not touching his cash reserves isn't also a bad thing cause all those cash are sitting on a short term government debts that generates 5% in every 4 to 8 and 13 weeks so those cash are generating money on their own whilst the dividends adds more and more to the cash pile and i think that's a good news rather than seeing those cash be gone just to lose it completely

    Fantastic video Everybody wants to be financially independent and live a better life. With savvy investing, an inexpensive lifestyle, and diligent budgeting, this is not difficult to do. I'm glad I realized early on that achieving financial freedom requires hard work.

      My belief is that making a wise investment is a fantastic way to save money for the future as well as a way to generate passive income. Those who make poor mistakes early in life regret them later in life. But, if done alone, investing may be challenging and risky. For this reason, I suggest consulting experts for advice (financial advisors). The difficulty lies in effectively employing it, not just watching videos and reading investing books.

      Sincerely, I'm genuinely moved by what you said. I have a seizable amount of money that I am willing to invest if given the appropriate knowledge and I am highly interested in investing. My greatest concern is losing money on a bad investment. I'm open to hearing your advice on how to make sensible investments as a result.

      I genuinely believe that having the necessary knowledge is important to the success of any investment, and I say this as an OAP with much experience. Whatever you set your mind on, do it regardless of what others may say. Be fearful when others are greedy, and greedy when others are fearful, advises Warren Buffer often. This is surely the key to succeeding while others fail. I made $100,000 working with a financial advisor. Working with an advisor has proven to be a promising experience thus far.

      Sure thing! We're just a hop, skip, and a jump away from building wealth. I've seen folks who struck it rich during the market crash. This coach could be the ticket to helping me find similar opportunities in the current market. Give me a shot!

    Don't tell the federal reserve. That was a very measured comment. For those with immense amounts of wealth, they can automatically generate more than inflation and then spend it to avoid taxation.

    Fear is a dangerous component, hindering us from taking the bold steps we need in other to reach our goals. Nobody can become financially successful overnight. They put in background work but we tend to see the finished part.

    It's better to own gold than dollars. Gold has increased from $35 in 1971 to $2300 today. Similarly, the Swiss franc has lost 80% of its value since they left the gold standard 24 years ago. The rate of interest he's getting, 5%, is too low, it's less than the depreciation of the currency as measured by gold.

      Warren donates his own personal wealth to charity, and Berkshire already does a ton for charity. It wouldn't be fair to shareholders to distribute that much cash to things that don't generate returns.

      This question has been covered at length. Where has your brain been each and every year for the last 75 years? All of his profits is and will go to charity. He lived insanely modestly for a man with hundreds of billions of dollars. He knows he can't take it with him.
