I'm trying to practice the art of doing nothing, and it's the hardest thing when it comes to investing to do I feel. I see something drop big time that I like more than something else I'm holding, I'll rotate out into the new company. I beat the S&P 500 last year by around 6%, and I take that as a win. But I need to follow in his mindset of holding things more long term. Something runs up quickly, sit on it instead of just moving out of it.

Joel Greenblatt compounded ~40% for 20 years multiplying +800 times his client's money. The thing about Buffet is that he manages hundreds of billions so of course he can't get mind blowing returns now but I'm sure he would compound+40% if he only had a couple of billions to manage

Over the last several years, you've reposted clips from "financial experts" that were on you tube and tic tok. There was one guy (I don't remember who he was) who was blasting (mocking?)

[@feleciawallace8420]

Excellent show... thanks for sharing your insights and knowledge... Buffet is a great investor...

[@nerisgunz]

does qualtrim cover stocks outside the US?

[@SigFigNewton]

My insights that I don’t hear discussed: 1) Buffet knows the value of investing in companies that sell addictive products. I include oil in this. Society’s addiction to fossil fuels. 2) Buying low is about buying when others are afraid to. Buffet knows how to be a very special kind of sentiment investor. He does it not by looking at fear and greed indices or how companies are being talked about in the news; instead he is able to read sentiment off financial statements and stock prices. To give a sense of what I mean: suppose a company has a decade long track record of slow and steady growth, but they’ve had a few relatively bad quarters and the stock is down. Buffet can be counted on to accurately discern whether the stock price is hurting more than the financial fundamentals. In other words, he understands companies and economies well enough to accurately gauge whether a warranted selloff is overdone.

[@tomcoleman550]

Good for you Joseph, maybe you will be the next WB; I agree with you 100%...Thanks for doing this.

I recently purchased some ETFs. Saving for a market fall is also a bad idea. There are different perspectives on recessions and depressions; we cannot always expect significant rewards; and taking risks is preferable to doing nothing. The bottom line is that by diversifying your portfolio and making sensible judgments, you will accomplish exceptional outcomes. In 2022, my portfolio returned $608,500.

[@739jep]

Buffet’s performance can largely be explained by his exposure to risk factors such as value , and at times also to his use of leverage. He has some excellent advice , but his best advice is probably that most people are better off investing in a broad market index fund. Copying his investments or even his strategy as a whole simply won’t work for everyone as we all are investing with different life circumstances and different attitudes to risk which affects everyone’s ability to remain invested long term differently. Stay the course friends!

[@briankolley3550]

I find Warren Buffett's position on not paying dividends to be hypocritical. He says it's ok for a company to pay a dividend when they can't invest the money to get a better return. He cites Coke as an example. Then, he sits on over $100B in cash doing nothing with it for years on end without paying a dividend while he waits for a good investment to come along, but that's somehow ok. If that's ok, then why wouldn't it be ok for Coke to stop paying a dividend and then stockpile cash while they wait for a good investment to come along? I guarantee you that Warren Buffett would not like that one bit. I also don't like the whole buyback philosophy that Warren Buffett employs. Berkshire Hathaway fans always tell people to just sell shares if they need income. They point out that buybacks increase the shareholder's stake in the company when done correctly and are superior to dividends. The problem is that's only true if you don't sell your shares. However, if you have to sell your shares in order to generate income because no dividends are paid, then you wind up reducing your stake in the company. If your only source of income to pay your expenses is to sell your shares of stock, then, since you have no other income available to replace the shares you sold, you will eventually run out of shares to sell, and therefore will eventually run out of income. That doesn't happen with dividends. I think his whole philosophy on not paying dividends is immensely hypocritical. It basically comes down to his belief that keeping the cash and doing nothing is better than giving it to shareholders who will just spend it and get no return on that cash. Nevermind that they will eventually run out of shares to sell, that's their problem. It's BS.

Trustworthy managers in my opinion is one of his biggest criterion. Why I think he chose Paramount over Disney-Paramount’s management has already been overhauled and Bakish is solid and they clearly aren’t doing deceptive things to hit their earnings numbers, something that cannot be said about Disney

[@susymay7831]

Most of Warren's big gains came years ago, however, he has beaten the market over every rolling ten year period. LITTLE KNOWN: Roughly half of Warren's outperformance has come from leveraging his insurance float.. something not available to individuals. However, without this leveraging he still would have made roughly 15 percent a year. Large capital is the enemy of large outperformance and Warren correctly points out that it will not be possible for Berkshire Hathaway to continue beating the market by a huge margin, though Berkshire Hathaway will be safer.

[@robbwagner5945]

Joseph, really like your videos and learn alot from your analysis. I would love to hear a deeper dive on share buybacks. This was an activity that was not legal until the 80's and I wonder about the overall impact to the economy they have caused. With so many executives looking quarter to quarter instead of focusing on long term success due to their stock based compensation, I wonder if they really had to find a way for that money to work if their results might be better. This is also money that could be invested into employee compensation and improving the talent pool of the company. Stock buybacks ignore all other stakeholders other than owners. Just a thought.

[@erosthano874]

What’s missing is that in his early years of he did take a lot more risks on companies, it wasn’t until he first big hit that he ended up going conservative in his approach. Of course way back then there were nowhere near the amounts of companies there are now, so less companies less risk. I believe you need a mixture of high risk and highly profitable stocks nowadays in other to attempt to be wealthy. 🤷🏻‍♂️

In the hedge fund world, there is the legendary Medallion Fund from Renaissance Technologies that has averaged 66 percent a year (before fees) for over thirty years with one tiny losing year. You can't compare this to Buffett as Medallion is capped at 10 billion because they cannot find enough worthwhile quant edges to hold more money and the founder is worth only an estimated thirty billion.

Joseph, could you please add the shares buy back graph on Qualtrim? That would be really helpful going through 2023.

[@adamplant8877]

There's already a shares outstanding graph on Qualtrim

[@JosephCarlsonAfterHours]

Shares outsanding is actually a superior way to look at efficient buybacks. If you just look at buyback amount, a company can issue 1 billion worth of shares, then "buy back" 1 billion, and the share count is actually flat, you did not benefit at all. But if they issue 500 million worth of shares and buy back 1 billion, you did benefit by a net 500 million of buybacks, and that's what's reflected on the shares outstanding graph. So a simple way of looking at it is the shares outstanding. If that's going up, they're diluting, if it's going down, they're doing buybacks beyond the rate of dilution.

[@cathyg1099]

His stock portfolio is one thing. The stock price of Berkshire is another. That is based primarily on its performance.

His stock portfolio does not beat the S&P 500 but Berkshire stock has up until the last fifteen years.

[@trichtertus6221]

What I don’t understand in 18:30, why does he keep the coca cola shares, if he finds it to be the suboptimal investment for the reinvestment of the received dividends. I don’t get why coca cola is the better place to have his money than the other stock he is buying with their dividend. I am guessing he wouldn’t buy coca cola shares (especially not in that amount), if he had to invest that money, they are worth today, now. I hope someone understands what I want to say and can help me better understand.
