Wholesome slow and steady wins the race boomer who is tight with money and played it safe for decades now he’s rich in virtue of being old

I’m not saying he’s not a good investor but it’s mostly down to luck that he’s one of the richest men in the world as opposed to just a very rich man. If he had to do it all again he’d be rich for sure but would almost certainly never have been the richest man on the planet

Extremely smart and most likely pretty lucky. He seems very self-aware, e.g. admits he doesn't understand tech and that's why he (mostly) doesn't invest in it. Read his annual shareholder letters if you want to learn from him. You won't learn much from his interviews as they're all targeted at financial brainlets.

Unless you are billionaire retail investing is a loosing game. Real money is made in Private Equity / M & A / LOB / Venture Capital. 5x-10x and in some cases 20x-100x are common. For some fucked up reason “accredited investors” (this status is based on existing wealth, not on a exam testing investing knowledge) are not invited.

Most of the money WB is via private equity except in few cases. He buys undervalue companies, improve efficiencies and get preferred dividends or exits. This is institutional investing at a highest level. Just like University is a meme to keep middle class debt-slave and wage-slave, Index/value investing is a meme unless applied at institutional level with big money. Besides all those index funds shareholding companies re killing shareholder-activism again unless you are a billionaire.

So be refpilled, learn value investment and ratios, but be assured that you are playing a game with a tiny tiny capital and informational asymmetry which institutional investors like Buffet has.

Invest your time in a business that would generate 20-30% yield and forces you to learn a real skill even if it fails. Also invest your time with your family and friends and pets. Time is most important currency you have. And yes invest some in some selected crypto, if you are not “accredited”

Redpill, he studies tons to make his investments and has an indepth understanding of corporations and how you should value them giving him an edge on the market
Blackpill is that he started investing his money at a young age when the indexes were low, all the money he made is because of unprecedented economic growth and you are unlikely to repeat his strategy and make it in todays envoirment.

He's litterly just a statistical deviation from the norm, anyone could have done the same with little effort had they started when he did. Except that most people did not, which makes him a little smarter but nothing special.

The guys pretend he studies a lot before investing.

I think it is a lie, and he mostly have good foresight.

So it is better for the normies to accept that he litterally is million times better than them.

Other than that among the richest of the planet, he might be the less worse. Way less evil than Roth and his friends.

Maybe he didn't have to kill people to get this rich.

Maybe he didn't even fuck and kill little children and drink their blood.

Warren Buffet's dirty little secret is that he invests in companies that have no or very little competition. Another dirty little secret is that he benefited greatly from government actions such as bailouts and blocking the oil pipeline construction. Obama admin blocked the pipeline construction and suddenly Buffet's railroad transport company that he bought got influx of customers.
Croniest deal in my opinion was the backdoor bailout that Goldman Sachs received. Buffet invested 5 billion in Goldman which was waiting payout from AIG for the credit default swaps(CDS) that it bought. CDS is kind of insurance where the buyer of CDS gets paid if eg mortgage gets defaulted. Goldman bought lot of these "insurances" on mortgages that they knew would default. AIG who was selling these "insurances" was not putting any money on the side in case of defaults, because their CDS show was a scam too. AIG would have gone bust, if it would not have received bailout and take Goldman Sachs with it, since it would not have received the "insurance" money. Warren Buffet was one who lobbied personally for the bailouts. So instead of losing 5 billion that he invested, he made over 3 billion dollars of profit.
You got ol' Warren to thank for the continuing existence of the one of the croniest companies in America.

this is the only way to do it, venture capital is extremely wholesome investing too. buying at a value is actually significantly more important here as well since the margins are only cents on the dollar but could mean a full third or half of your investment (or more). this is really the only way a small fry investor could make decent money with starting 4 figures

find one good microcap company you are convinced will succeed, and dump money into it that you've already written off. the difference between that and speculating is whether or not you properly audit the sector and the company members
