I really saw the potential of the stock market by reading Berkshire's annual letters. I recently sold my $674k apartment in the Bel Air area and I'm hoping to throw it into the stock market. I just don't want to lose everything.

[@Nernst96]

Most people either do not understand the power of compound interest, or are just impatient. For the average Joe, however, I think it is just best to invest in the S&P 500, and just wait, which is reliable, albeit extremely long- lots of years. Or just use a professional analyst and speed up wealth creation. Most people underestimate the power of the latter.

[@hankmarks69]

I agree with you. I started out with investing on my own, but I lost a lot of money. I was able to pull out about $200k after the 2020 crash. I invested the money using an analyst, and in seven months, I raked in almost $673,000

[@PhilipDunk]

who is your advisor please, if you don't mind me asking?

[@hankmarks69]

Amber Dawn Brummit is the licensed advisor I use. Just research the name. You’d find necessary details to work with a correspondence to set up an appointment.

I just looked her up on the web and I would say she really has an impressive background in investing. I will write her an email shortly.

It was a very bad decision to remove the Glass-Steagall Act in the late 1990s, which led to the spectacular failure of huge banks during the financial crisis of 2007-2008. To prevent another disaster, Dodd-Frank and this statute both need to be reestablished right away. What happened with SVB is only the beginning of what will happen if nothing is done to address the current situation.

[@tampabayrodeo2474]

In my opinion, SVB was attempting to restructure their bond portfolio, which involved selling their low-yielding bonds despite the potential loss, and compensating for it by buying higher-interest-rate bonds on the open market.

Watching these guys is phenomenal , in that Charlie is 99 years old and Warren will be 93 on Aug. 30 !! This really has to make one question the wisdom of retirement. I don't know that working 40 hours a week is the way to go, but wonder if 20 or 25 isn't the way to go. You see people flourishing at 90 , when such a small percent of their contemporaries are still with us. I would all but guarantee these guys would be a shadow of their selves if the would have retired at 62 or 65 or whatever . The government doesn't want us living much after retirement for economic reasons. To change Social Security so that one could invest the portion that is not payouts or insurance would easily cover people living much longer.

[@integrativenaturalmedicine3897]

It's called having money and doing what you want. Not being enslaved by the system. I've always believed that when you have money and you are able to stay active doing what you want, even if it is regular type work, but doing it WHEN you want, on your own accord, that too is retirement in itself. A lot has to do with mental health, mental activity.

[@Andrian-ch3on]

The 2022 stock market downturn still lingers, and with ongoing inflation and the Federal Reserve's plan to raise interest rates, the financial industry expects further fluctuations. Recent research by Wells Fargo and Vanguard shows that women tend to approach investing in a more systematic manner. They demonstrate greater patience, make fewer trades, and often achieve superior risk-adjusted returns compared to men. I love my advisor "Avery Barnes Whidden" she exemplifies this trend.

Your previous video was really good! Man, please, make more videos about that theme🍈

[@Rafmeistr]

A lot of good points from these two legends, though some are dated. However, Warren's comments on corporate tax is spot on. 0% (effectively) corporate tax is absurd and is hurting the economy of many nations. If individuals have to pay tax, corporations should too, especially if they are legally seen as "persons" (citizens united, which is a whole disaster in itself). The tax burden should be SHARED. I truly believe this would benefit the economy in the long run, including profits when people have more to spend and the US, for example, could invest more in infrastructure, education, making sure people are healthy and not going bankrupt due to medical bills (again, more to spend and save -> healthier economy). Its pretty basic in my view.

[@asagaffar]

it's great to hear Warren Buffett's positive outlook on the safety of deposits in the United States. However, it's important to keep in mind that investing in any financial institution does come with certain risks. As you noted, it's crucial for individuals to conduct their own research and due diligence before choosing where to place their money. It's also wise to diversify investments and not solely rely on one institution. By taking these steps, individuals can make informed decisions and better protect their finances.

Warren buffet has said a few times that if it was very easy to hit a hole-in-one in golf on every hole that nobody would play golf. That's a vacuous statement because obviously a golf course is made in a way that's going to preclude most people from hitting a hole-in-one. A golf course could have been made that easy. If someday golfers get much better and it is easy to get a hole-in-one, then obviously the golf course will be made in a different way so as to not allow this. So Warren's metaphor doesn't make any sense because the golf course is a self-correcting entity, so to speak. It's the same with supply and demand. In many homeostatic systems, things self-correct. If there are many cashiers at a supermarket it is self-correcting. The line at 1 cashier is never going to get too much longer than the other lines because people wellll just move from one line to the other. These things are intuitive and obvious, but rarely thought about.
