Legendary investor Warren Buffett shares meaning of giving back in rare note

[@RJHunter-e6i]

Never give money to charity. Buffet could of given that money to anyone and everyone... and instead he is gonna give it to rich people who run charity organizations that donate to charity organizations. Thats the oracle omaha for ya. What a mistake.

[@monkeygraborange]

Organized charities are a Ponzi scheme.

[@cloudbase7799]

Yup, and many if not most of the "charities" have woke agendas that will harm people.

[@zacharythomas8617]

The only truth you should ever accept is that people lie.

[@AlwaysPeacefulMaDeuce]

Similar to this: “people are capable of reasoning out anything.”

[@mariep4018]

Exactly he doesn’t want to pay taxes is at the end of his rainbow so he wants to go out with a legacy. Because he hasn’t given anything all these other years to make families life better if anything the middle class has paid more taxes, then he ever did. I’m not impressed.

[@RobCoops]

Do you realize that the vast majority of the man's wealth is tied up in stocks of companies, it is not like he has a few billion sitting on a bank account. If he were to just give away lets say 50% of his fortune the companies that he currently owns will no longer be his, the families getting those stocks would just sell the stocks to get the money out driving the overall price down sharply resulting in destabilizing the companies and reducing his fortune far more than 30%. What he did and still does instead is he places the stocks in the trust of the one person that he can trust to do the right thing, himself. As a result the companies flourish and are able to employ large numbers of people while also generating wealth for not just Mr. Buffet but also others that invest in them as well as those that work for them. Which in turn allows all these people to pay others for services and goods spreading the wealth even further. Even a few trillion dollar company like Apple notices when someone like Warren Buffet decides to exit his position in the company. This is a serious signal to the wider market and puts a bit of a damper on the stock price. Now imagine that he would do this to a much much smaller company. Once he is gone he is ensuring that his children are able to continue their philanthropy and over time give the wealth to others without them having any direct access to the money and squandering it on silly things for instance. That should be a good thing.

[@Ap_twsh]

He’s a smart man, stupid people like paying taxes this government started because of over taxation.

[@mariep4018]

@ no one likes, paying taxes. There’s no such thing as a stupid person that wants to pay taxes. All I said was, he said many years to change peoples lives. And he hasn’t. He’s doing it now because he’s coming to the end of his rainbow and he wants to leave a legacy. Billionaires do not care about anyone but themselves. That’s why there’s so rich.

So many lives in danger bc of lack of shelter, lack of clean water, lack of pretty much everything.

[@Richard-cq4kv]

Why won't Buffett and Berkshire fund managers invest in Tesla?

[@RobCoops]

Because it is not a good business for them to get into. The majority of the value is based on future expected results not based on actual current underlying value. This is something that Buffet and his company have not been interested in historically, so why would they do this now. They are much more interested in organizations that one the understand, and two the can see having a clear competitive advantage. Making a car is not that difficult there are lots of companies that do that and a lot of those companies have far more experience as well as capital to do so making it not that unlikely that one of them will figure out how to compete with Tesla. Every successful investor becomes successful by choosing certain stocks/companies over others for their own reasons. They follow a standard method that works well for them to decide which company to get in bed with. They would not likely be as successful if they just jumped on every hype stock out there or if they decided to get into industries they are do not see as good for them to be in for what ever logical, well thought out or selfish reasons.

[@californiadroneservices379]

This guy is all hype and no substance. Why not give it away now? Dude‘s gonna be 100 and a few years and he still wants to hold onto 150 billion. Any idiot can give away all their money when they’re dead, how exactly is that charitable?

[@monkeygraborange]

Your jealousy is palpable.

[@RobCoops]

Ehm because that would wreck the companies that he owns by making their stock price crash and their financial situation impossible to sustain. That would cause many tens of thousands of people to loose their jobs as these companies are forced to downsize or even shutdown completely. This would not be charitable at all this would be very irresponsible. Keep in mind that he does not have 150 billion sitting in a bank account he has nearly all his money tied up in stocks.

[@jdnettles2506]

​@@RobCoops No he's actually unloaded a lot of his positions and is sitting on cash. He's been dumping Bank of America all year. If he's such a great man, how much has he helped the people in western NC. Thousands of people who are barely surviving are helping them out.

[@gjonesmaclover]

@@jdnettles2506 His company has, not him! There’s a big difference

[@Ap_twsh]

Never be jealous next time stop voting for high taxes and welfare

[@torablack]

I think he's just doing this to avoid paying taxes seeing as how the majority of whatever money given to charity goes to running the charity.

[@milt6208]

Giving back? What a joke. He used to own the electric company that provided me my power. The rate increases were always asked for and provided to his company by the utility commisions on a regular basis. He made lots of money while my power bills were always increasing.

[@RobCoops]

You could of course have decided to not buy the electricity from his company moved somewhere else for instance. But you would have found that all other companies did the same as their cost to produce the electricity and transport the electricity rose. It is rather silly to think that over a period of lets say 50 years you can charge the same price for the generation and transport of electricity while inflation on average grinds away 2 to 3% of the value of the money you need to spend to do both.
