Most experts agree that index funds are very good investments for long-term investors. They are low-cost options for obtaining a well-diversified portfolio that passively tracks an index. Be sure to compare different index funds or ETFs to be sure you are tracking the best index for your goals and at the lowest cost.

[@UshnicYuvnikof]

love the breakdown. I've gradually built my finance and made my first $100k through investing which i've used to start my jewellery business, and with what I’ve learned over a decade investing, given enough time, solid investments have the potential to double the initial principal amount, but many investors are instead attracted to the lure of high yields in short periods of time despite the possibility of Unattractive losses before Even getting Out. So the onus is on newbies to beware. Having multiple income streams helped me stay afloat in business when the pandemic broke out.

@@williamsbrown4026try Geting yourself a stock advisor and set goals you can live with and stick to them. Don't be too concerned about how much they charge; it's usually the industry standard. I had a couple of false Starts, but ultimately ended up with a local ANITA JO LYNCH, advisor who gave me investment advice that was sound and with steady growth; underline steady. Be the turtle, not the rabbit. My point is that these big outfits have information that you will not have as a private investor. Don't be discouraged by down turns and what the media is saying. If the media is talking about it, then it has already happened. Be on a team and you will be fine. good luck my friend and hope this helps

For philanthropy in Africa - "We need to quit thinking about the way we do it in America" - that's very true. The farming techniques that works in Nebraska is destined to fail in most parts of Africa. Just giving them seed and even equipment that works well in Nebraska and expecting things to get better is not going to work. This was a really impressive piece.

Thank God for real journalists at 60 Minutes. My whole life, this program has been the hallmark of good story telling and investigative journalism.

[@lars277]

As long as the investigative journalism does not investigate the oligarch/corporate donor owners of our rigged system of genocidal profiteering. There has been no real investigative work for decades. Notice how they paint the Buffets as real down hometown people, as their companies rape the American populace for profits. Suffering by many for the enrichment of a few. I am not going to throw flowers at these robber baron donor elites. Next, you will tell me greed is good and profits are the only motivators on earth.

What would really be fun is to see the Buffets before a military tribunal at the Hauge for their crimes against humanity.

We already tried the synthetic toxic waste fertilizer substitute in the U.S. and farmers only recently realized how it depletes the land while destroying the water supplies. Organic farming and ranching together can provide the necessary fertilizer for a sustainable result.

[@manuellubian5709]

My sentiments too. Also am NOT a FAN of how BG has chosen to use 'his' wealth.

[@bogususer2595]

I think you're mixing up Bill Gates' personal wealth vs. his charitable fund. So penalty, he's acquiring farmland as an investment and he can do what he wants with it. The charitable fund has a board that decideds how to give 5% of that fund every year. So image a $10B fund has to give away $500M per year. That's a lot of programs funded every year.

Buffet is lying, he was 100% worried about Howard and he kind of kicked him out when he was young. He was very tough love parent and told Howard and the others he would not help them with money. Then Howard went into farming on his own, eventually begging dad for money. So Buffet gave him a loan of $100,000 to buy his own farm and equipment with strict loan repayments. Howard ended up being successful and their relationship slowly started to improve. Also that os Monsanto GMO corn it ruins soil. smh
