I was impressed by how his position has remained fluid ever since he's been investing, and yet he still remains in the game. I've been following Buffett since 2019, and I've learnt so much from his personal investment style to earn myself five figures monthly in dividend income.

My favorites by far are value investing and staying within your circle of competence or investing with someone who is competent.

"The government doesn't own the assets but they own the earnings (through taxation)" - He's right and at 21% currently, 52% in the past as he said around 24:10 or so. He might be talking slower nowadays but his mind is still very sharp, play at 1.75x speed and you'll see. Will the top 800 corporations volunteer to do the good he suggests and was applauded for? I doubt it. Great man!

Even with the right strategies and appropriate assets, investment returns can differ among investors. Recognizing the vital role of experience in investment success is crucial. Personally, I understood this significance and sought guidance from a market analyst, significantly growing my account to nearly a million. Strategically withdrawing profits just before the market correction, I'm now seizing buying opportunities once again.

Could agree more with ya Mr. Buffet. I would slightly have even more diverse capital allocation. I wouldnt shy away from accessing capital gains locked in Apple for a more robust capital allocation and trying new investment strategies in tbis economy if the ROR differential over time is looking attractive in 5-10 year. Thats a strategy play with a profit margin and value creation.

1) Buffett himself said that people should keep it easy and invest in index funds 2) Buffett himself said that Berkshire's unlikely to replicate past performance 3) Berkshire outperformed SP500 over the last 5 years (91 vs 78% increase). It did not outperform the likes of VOO though. 4) If I look at the float/equity/cash of Berkshire is way cheaper than SP500, it's not even close. As an investor I feel very positive about Berkshire 5) Berkshire's much less likely to suffer in bad periods as an index fund. May not grow as fast at times? Possible. Hard to say.
