  1. Thank you Warren Buffet. Your advice has encouraged me as a lowly Amazon driver to start investing. I listened to many of your share holder meetings. You made me understand that disposition is a key part in investing. Ive been investing now for 2 years. Listened to the "Intelligent Investor" audiobook and I know I will be a lifelong investor. Tomorrow I will buy 3 shares of Berkshire class b😉
    Enjoy your retirement! You are a treasure. ❤

  2. Our neighborhood was built by a BH company. They cheated us, built a cheap poor quality home and left our HOA broke and responsible for fixing what they left undone. I guess this is how Warren got so wealthy!

  3. Like his attitude that there is nothing wrong with just observing the market without trading at all for periods of time. Impulsiveness isn't a good thing when investing.

  4. Not ideal usually from buffet means… It's a terrible time to invest. We literally do feel like we get pushed higher and higher into the atmosphere, lol. The looming question though. If we are getting pushed higher and higher, just to ar some point get leveled back down to the march prices….

  5. Buffet is being polite- a one day option means that someone is cheating. They’re holding cash because there are too many cheaters out there. That’s what he meant by “church vs casino”. Some people are honest, and many aren’t.
