Warren Buffett: I Understand Consumer Behavior | CNBC

Warren frequently makes good arguments. But hearing from someone with his level of experience is also beneficial. Given that the majority of my holdings ($650K) consist of Nasdaq, Apple, and Tesla companies, his opinion or any other professional recommendations on what to do would be greatly appreciated. I entered the market early, but I'm not sure if I should sell or buy back at a bargain considering the status of the

Focus on two key objectives. First, stay protected by learning when to sell stocks to cut losses and capture profits. Second, prepare to profit when the market turns around.I recommend you seek the guidance a broker or financial advisor.

[@hermanramos7092]

Whichever option you choose, be careful to seek advice from a trustworthy investment advisor. I do business with one, and she has helped me get a better handle on the stock/ETF market throughout this upheaval.

[@bob.weaver72]

How did you make contact? After reading these remarks about hiring advisors, I think I need one. Simply said, I don't want to make mistakes that will seriously hurt me.

[@martingiavarini]

The advisor I use is actually quite known, you might have come across her before, “Catherine Morrison Evans” she's been featured on several articles, you can search her name

[@hermanramos7092]

My advisor is "Catherine Morrison Evans". In terms of portfolio diversity, she's a genius. You can look her name up on the internet and verify her yourself. she has years of financial market experience plus she is also FINRA & SEC verifiable.

[@peterwatry5055]

Joe made this interview almost unwatchable. Lack of respect for Mr. Buffett is an understatement. He thinks he is a comedian, but he is sadly wrong. Joe considers himself a dear and close friend of Mr. Buffett, but that is obviously not the case. Ms. Quick does a great job of prepared questions and calm respect: She is a real professional which is probably why Mr. Buffett has these long sit downs with her. Ms. Quick looks very uncomfortable every time Joe starts to speak. Joe is a real embarrassment to CNBC at this point. I cannot watch him and just fast forward when he speaks.

cause he's an a-hole.

[@catedarpino7050]

Agree...

[@dancp9889]

Joe's too humbled in front of buffet so the male defense mechanism kicks in and that's why he pretends to bully the old man a bit. the funny part is buffet knows all that so he plays along.

[@michaellingle1]

I can't imagine why the producer does not realize what a negative consideration Joe is. I hate Joe's participation. He needs to b removed from the interviews. Hopefully, the producers will either comply or b replaced. The girl is fabulous. Her questions are right on n totally non-selfserving

[@khaoticwarchild]

Hire dumb guys and pretty "smart" girls I wonder what agenda they are pushing?

[@CardBoredom]

Becky: Nothing can derail a good talk with Warren. Joe: Hold my beer...

He talks to Warren Buffett like if Buffett is a dumb person. “Do you have a flat screen? A color tv?”

"That's a moving picture box, sir, if you don't know".

Nah warren buffet is well known for being stingy, very careful with his money so he was implying warren wouldn’t buy a new tv

JOE...please SHUT UP and stop interrupting the greatest investor of all time. GET HIM OFF THESE CNBC.

[@jeffreysmith6161]

It's hard to tell if he's drunk, high or just really stupid in this segment.

[@pedrolameyibor8129]

I get the impression Joe doesn't like or is jealous of Buffett and acts like a clown to ruin his interviews.

To my understanding this just proves how much we need an edge as investors because playing the market like everyone else just isn’t good enough. I've been quite unsure about investing in this current market and at the same time I feel it's the best time to get started on the market, what are your thoughts?

[@hermanramos7092]

Since the crash, I've been in the red. I’m playing the long term game, so I'm not too worried but Jim Cramer mentioned there are still a lot of great opportunities, though stocks has been down a lot. I also heard news of a guy that made $250k from about $110k since the crash and I would really look to know how to go about this.

[@martingiavarini]

There are actually a lot of ways to make high yields in a crisis, but such trades are best done under the supervision of Financial advisor.

Thats true, I've been getting assisted by a FA for almost a year now, I started out with less than $200K and I'm just $19,000 short of half a million in profit.

[@johnwick-uo5gv]

Someone edit the parts out with joe so i can actually watch this

[@singhmaster4]

I like this guy for many reasons. His skills will always be relevant even though he is not a tech guy. The basics of business never change. Tech is just another way of selling and promoting a physical product. Geico doesn't have physical inventory, but look how big geico is. This guy knows big math like the back of his hands and understands markets more than an average business person. Its like an instinct and a skill. PLUS...his companies are based on assets, not like these days where companies get funding for 200 million from 4 different investors and call it a 200 million dollar company. His work is more genuine and sustainable. There was a huge bank, those too big to fail banks (forgot the name) they got their BUTT SAVED all because of buffets way of doing business. He knows how to keep it sustainable long term and not just grow it recklessly.
