Everyone has been preaching "buy now, stocks are at a discount" but I've been buying stocks since the beginning of the year and yet nothing's changed, but I've been reading articles of people still in the same market pulling off over 350k in just a couple months, what am i doing wrong?

[@Jadechurch-ql3do]

the strategies are quite rigorous for the regular-Joe. As a matter of fact, they are mostly successfully carried out by pros who have had a great deal of skillset/knowledge to pull such trades off.

[@BerryRyan-gl3sm]

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.

[@yeslahykcim]

Please can you leave the info of your lnvestment advsor here? I’m in dire need for one

[@BerryRyan-gl3sm]

Laila artine kassardjian' is the licensed coach I use. Just research the name. You'd find necessary details to work with a correspondence to set up an appointment.

[@lucaswilliams9992]

Thank you for this Pointer. It was easy to find your handler, She seems very proficient and flexible. I booked a call session with her.

[@Tendomcgoobin]

Its not the same without Charlie's snacking

[@DanneyRedBull]

True, Ruhe in Frieden mein Bester! :)

[@ericmendels]

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.

[@cloudyblaze7916]

I was really moved when he unknowingly mentioned Charlie Munger. Their relationship was very deep. I've been following them both too, and they've really changed my investment philosophy and who I should invest with.

[@ericmendels]

Mind sharing some of the philosophies you find most interesting?

[@cloudyblaze7916]

My favorites by far are value investing and staying within your circle of competence or investing with someone who is competent. I'm a psychologist, so investing is not my competence, but I identify the best investors. The one I've worked with for the past couple years have made me more than $400k in net return.

[@gregorywhem]

Can I ask who you work with currently, if that's okay by you?

[@cloudyblaze7916]

I'm hesitant to make recommendations like this online so I can't drop her contact here, but you could look her up yourself and contact her if you wish. Her name is Sharon Lynne Hart.

[@tcc447]

One of best parts of the meeting: 1:29:44 "What you should probably ask yourself is 'Who do you feel you want to start spending the last day of your life with?' and figure how to start meeting with them tomorrow and meet them as often as you can because 'Why wait until the last day?'" 2:22:33 Cash continues to accumulate: "We only swing at pitches we like." 3:04:52 Greg Abel's future role in capital allocation decisions 3:14:35 Criteria used to evaluate IT distribution businesses (Tech Data) 3:21:55 Stock market valuation: 2024 vs 1999 tech bubble 3:26:26 Reasons for exiting positions (instead of holding forever with stocks like AmEx and Coca-Cola); interesting comment about Apple investment after many years studying consumer behavior 3:30:10 (apperceptive mass) 3:39:50 BNSF declining profit margins

Charlie is sitting right there, now in his spirit body, he is there with you Warren.

[@tedfangc]

I am sure of that

[@JonathanMWong]

Charlie made it to 99.9...

[@collinmiller8866]

Low key kind of heart breaking without his lifetime best friend😢

[@MrNickDrummer]

"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!

[@Bradgilliswhammyman]

when I saw that during the live event I was shocked...good on Warren, it is a shame no other Fortune 500 companies will do the same.

[@KemptonLam]

2:44:04 I think Carol Loomis rocks! I'm super touched by Warren's tribute to Carol (on top of Charlie's of course) and rewatching it again! P.S. BTW, I #LOVE Carol's book Tap Dancing to Work: Warren Buffett on Practically Everything a ton and recommend it to everyone who wants to learn more from Warren including some less well known stories and insights! Get a copy or borrow from library! P.P.S. I just took out a physical Thank You/Birthday card and going to write and mail it to Carol to celebrate her 95th Birthday on June 25th, 2024! We BRK shareholders have lots to thank Carol for! And did I say Carol rock already?! Yes, Carol rocks! :)

[@shankarbalakrishnan2360]

4hrs will listen to it thks❤❤🎉🎉

[@CarDrawings]

There's going to be a peanut brittle overstock without Charlie

[@stevejobs6396]

Charlie and his peanut brittles will be missed 😢

[@bekind2047]

What Ruth Gottesman did moved me to tears - I am astonished about my feelings.

[@ninabeach1]

The tribute film had me in tears 😭

[@collinmiller8866]

What is it called?

[@jasonqian]

A lot of things Buffett said he and Munger missed, in fact, what they "missed" can be understood only with a hindsight.

[@snwbm]

He missed Walmart with foresight. He was trying to buy it at pennies cheaper and never pulled the trigger.

[@jasonqian]

@@snwbm Well, did you hear him saying that he would never make the offer twice?

[@mazyroobash]

Thank you Warren for all the knowledge and integrity.❤❤

[@SSYlist]

What lovely tribute tho Charlie

[@Sonofawildanimal4241]

Thank you!

[@Abbysteel3456]

This is why you open a bank account with RBC when you want to invest. They have been around forever..I invested my cpp with Berkshire.. so happy I did..thank you Mr Buffett I know it's in safe hands. Your team is so big im sure they appreciated every moment.❤

[@TigerKindheart]

Miss Charlie. Thank you for everything!

[@laxmikantbharadia2879]

Breaks my heart to not have Charlie there.

[@valtermarques5978]

Great, but miss Charlie 😭

[@justanothercreator7273]

all those decades with charlie....jeez...these meetings kinda hit diff now without charlies interrupting gems! rip charlie

[@HeldEd]

It amazes me how someone is so knowledgeable about literally anything you can ask about. The amount of information he can retain and process is simply incredible

[@jso19801980]

he reads non stop

[@manhvo]

Good to see you are well

[@betteroptionsearch]

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.

[@ttbr7687]

I miss Charlie snacking on peanut brittle for 4 hours.

High distinction for J. Powell 👍

[@barttfisher]

Why I prefer NVIDIA is that they are better placed to maintain long term growth potential, and provide a platform for other AI companies. I know someone who has made more than 200% from NVIDIA.

[@HildaBennet]

I bought into NVIDIA around September because my financial advisor recommended it to me. She said the company is selling shovels in a gold rush. It accounted for almost 80% of my green market return last year.

[@JosephineKenney]

That's a great analogy and I love the insight. Professionals could make a really big difference in investing, and I think everyone should have one. There are aspects of market trend that is difficult for the untrained eyes to see.

[@PennyBergeron-os4ch]

One of my goals is to employ the service of one this year. Could you recommend who it is you work with?

[@JosephineKenney]

Sharon Lee Peoples is my licensed manager. Search the name. and you’d find necessary details to work with to set up an appointment.

[@PennyBergeron-os4ch]

I looked up her name online and found her page. I emailed and made an appointment to talk with her. Thanks for the tip

[@SSYlist]

Wow ❤

There are certain laws of the nature that you have to work with. - Warren Buffett

[@Bradgilliswhammyman]

I wonder if / when Warren finally passes on will the Berkshire Annual meeting be as large a production and will the Q/A session be as long without the Warren's storires, anecdotes, insights and history lessons. Greg and Ajit are great people but they don't have the same jovial rolling back and forth Warren and Charlie had. I suspect the Annual meeting will probably be a few hours shorter.

[@poupepe]

Why aren't you talking about investing in Eledator when even real experienced traders are doing it?

[@blc2103]

Warren Buffett has always been a "value" investor, who has very consistently shied away from making spontaneous stock trades.

Just invest in the SP500 index and ignore this charade. BRK.B stock is underperforming the SP500 over the longer term.

[@EnricoPolanski]

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.
