4. Shame on you Mary Buffett for exploiting the Buffett family name and bearing offspring who would do nothing but the same.
5. I would agree and also prefer long term investing. We see now a lot of clients from us directly investing in teak plantations, which is definetively a long term investment.
6. so true.. don't trust these liars
7. IF you believe Buffett is smart because he's SELLING HIS STOCK to others and reinvesting his dividends in other stocks or business ... vs his value investment strategy "like" this post!!
8. why the hell is this woman important?? Cash grab.....and to all you abortion and anti abortion morons: who really cares? Abortion is a woman's choice, period (and "late terms" are for medical purposes only! so dont go there)....you wanna make an abortion impact? go to asia, africa...there people abort for simply wanting to have boys over girls and as birth control....fight your battles where its abused. But again, its a womans choice.
9. @ProLifeHelp You religious fucks, no one cares! If people want to get an abortion well let them its their body.
10. @MiKKA335 No. She used to be married to his son or something. No blood relation to Warren.
11. She was married to peter buffett for a short period of time. I don't know how that makes her qualified to write or comment on Warren Buffett and his investment strategies.
12. @mallamoozoo care to give us an explanation please
13. My preconceived idea about Warren Buffet is that he's a very nice guy. The typical granddad that everybody likes. It's just that in investing there are 90% losers, some people that earn a little, a lot that get rich by managing without risk and a few very big winners. It's extremely dangerous to society and can lead easily to war. And in theory you are right about investing that two people can win, the company and the stock owners, but this is extremely rare, the opposite is the rule.
14. @penciloasis yeah please let me know if you find out. thx
15. I am of the impression that he made his money from the smaller deals year in year out and is not aware of any definitive big deals where he "made it." But I'd let you know if I happen to come across anything interesting.
16. Ah I think I understood what you meant then. As far as I know Buffett did it "gradually" in his early years. He was worth 25 million when he dissolved his partnership in 1969 and did it by "killing the DOW" (his words) during that period. If you do the math it works out to 52% annual compounded return but you already know that.
17. @penciloasis USUALLY even the best investors have those one or two deals that make them the "big bucks" initially which basically helps them with rest of their deals. Those one or two deals puts them in a different league. I was just curious , as far as Buffet, what those deals happen to be. thats all.
18. Let me venture a guess anyway: Do you think it is not plausible for anyone to achieve positive returns especially in the realm of 20-50% given the fluctuations in the market? There are quite a few people who managed to not just beat the market and managed to eke out positive returns in bear markets consistently. WEB and Peter Lynch comes to mind. The Buffett Partnership (1956-1969) never had a down year (flourished, in fact) even though the market wasn't going anywhere during those periods.
19. Clearly one or both of us did not understand what the other said because we both think the other side is stating the obvious. Would you care to rephrase what you said so I can understand the point you are trying to get across?
20. I think he is a great role model for a lot of people in business too. Most of the things the guy said makes sense to me and is hard to argue with. He was worth about $110,000 when he was 26 (in 1956's money) , which was obviously a lot of money but hardly enough cash reserves to break the game. We all gotta start from somewhere. There isn't too much information on his deals when he was young. Though he said he easily averaged 50% a year earlier in his career until his capital grew too large.
