Shouldn't We Just Copy Warren Buffett's Portfolio?

Warren Buffett (CEO of Berkshire Hathaway) has achieved an average annual return of 20% for his stock portfolio over his investing career. But if we had copied Warren Buffett's investments, we would have gotten almost the same return! So should we be cloning great investors like Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger? Well this is something that Mohnish Pabrai discussed in a recent interview...

Thanks for watching guys! Who else is in the cloners club?

Why isn't there an ETF that does this for me T.T Even with the lag, it's still 20+ % return per year right.. So why aren't State streets, vanguard doing this?

My p0rtfolio is plummeting significantly, I’ve lost about $320k within a few months and I'm not confident about picking st0cks anymore. Are there really no other options for me to gain from the stock market?

Case in point: Berkshire is in the top five of most billionaire portfolios.

Good advice for adding fresh ideas to your watchlist, then turning on your own brain. There's thousands of choices. Narrow it down with the smart money and then start applying your own experience and learning.

Warren Buffett also has very specific advice for smaller investors. He can't simply look for value in smaller companies because of the size of BRKA. Peter Lynch also provides great advice for common investors. He clearly says smaller investor are in a better position than the one they think they are.

NO! We shouldn't. Buffett likes Coke (KO)... which hasn't done much in SIX YEARS. You'd be better off in the S&P than KO. and Buffett's worth billions... his portfolio isn't built for growth, it's build more for stability. That's fine if you've already made your fortune, but not if you're looking to have your money grow at a faster rate.

S&P 500 < cloning < Berkshire. per the graph, it looks like straight up copying berkshire yields better returns than just cloning a few holdings.

[tevinramon]

I am copying warrens portfolio only his top picks....and people say that's the most stupid thing to do and stop investing and that I'm an idiot....well ever since I sold the crap stocks the so called experts say to buy...my portfolio has been stable ever since....So i'm guessing, why is it stupid to copy warren if my portfolio is finally stable? So far OXY, CVX, ATVI, APPLE. I am looking at O and STOR next. I don't have much money but my portfolio is gaining for once.

3:00 please share how you get this information, website name list. Thank you!

I think pick those companies that you have more understanding or knowledge of is a more doable action we can take instead of just 100% copy it, because some/most of them we actually not interested or has no experience and knowledge of.

[georgeclinton]

Thank you, have been watching your channels for couple of weeks now and it's really good and really helping me through

[venil]

The thumbnail seems to suggest that buffet has been beating the s&p index all these years, which I don't believe is true, is it?

[da_knug]

I wouldn't really call this approach copying or cloning since you are actually doing your own research. its more just taking inspiration from

[Cant_find_good_Handle]

Dude makes copying your buddies homework sound really inspirational. 😂😂😂 0:01

[chuckdiezel]

Cloning could be good if the person / fund you are cloning has the same exact goals, objectives, timelines, risk tolerances and investing style. Just blindly following the ‘super investors’ could be pretty dangerous

[unholy]

To me it depends on your goals. Buffet has already made his billions and he's trying to save it. I haven't so I'm trying to find newer companies or decimated industries (uranium for example) that once prices go up and demand increases stock prices will reflect. That's where the.... New money.... Is.

[innocentiuslacrim]

The self research is important also because if price action is negative, one needs to know why they are holding the stock. A lot of permanent lossed are made when people get scared and panic.

[Sam-bnjk]

This video is confusing and you sound confused too man: you said at the start of the video that statistics prove that copying Berkshire Hathaway portfolio for 40 year have given an average return of 25ish % per year, but then later you says that blindly copying is bad. You should clarify your thoughts to yourself before presenting it to others.

[invisiblesun]

I really like your videos and your critical analysis which is why I would really encourage you to think critically about Movember, an organisation which lacks transparency and which is extremely inefficient in the distribution of funds raised to actual research. They are very successful in their branding and marketing which is why they are so omnipresent, but is this really the best way to go about making change and raising awareness?

[pokergeniusordonkey]

I guess it is worth mentioning that my $2000 is different than Warren Buffet's $2, 000, 000. Cloning has put some companies on my watchlist, but I acknowledge it is a different risk calculation.
