That TSLA trade at the beginning was incredibly stupid. Buys at a high point after market open, right into resistance, leaves the trade open while going to check whatever the hell else. Lets 4 or 5 candles goes by, and then comes back to find he's lost his ass. Shortly after saying "this should be my stop, " immediately proceeds to let the stock fall right through that stop point and double the loss.

At 92 going all the way to Japan to find good businesses. True legend 🙏🙏

The old man has been able to find value where others cannot.
Even more runs on his score board to distance himself from the chasing pack. What a tallent he is and such a modest person

[olliehelsby]

“We’lll never run out of money” said so nonchalantly it is incredible. The guy is so good at what he does

[jahson]

Imagine Mr Buffet having approval of your company. That's the type of business to strive for.

Great to see Buffett back in the spotlight after a long-time of no appearances!

My whole adult life I have learnt from this man. His wisdom on living a good life is equal to his teachings in investing.

Great to see Becky sitting down with Warren again. The last few years we really have been getting only drips of interviews.

[SamEbby]

Becky is great at interviewing buffet. The best in the business

[elpadrino]

Wow WB looking really fresh and sharp I really hope he and Charlie do become the oldest persons in the world so much wisdom

[MPDLR]

Beck Quick is such a great media person and interviewer. Asks concise questions, and is pleasant. On the same network there's Sarah. God-damn imagine her doing a 3 hour interview. Buffett would fling himself out the window and Abel and Jain would get to run things. Wally and the Beaver would be in charge all because Buffett couldn't take Sarah.

There might be an economical turmoil but there is no doubt that this is still the best time to invest.

Steve Jobs had a lot of inspiration from Japanese companies (i.e., Sony) when working on the Mac. Apple is the largest stockholding for Berkshire Hathaway. Just a bit of trivia.

The guy is a pleasure to watch. As an investor, but also as a human being!

Natural "Ira Coke" including natural spices such as cinamon, ginger and nutmeg is now popular in Japan. Everyone can buy it at convenience stores. A little bit strong ginger, but it suit with juicy humberger.

What about toyota motor? Getting into BEV early could be great for transport, taxi etc.. long term driving

[Dfm_Sushil]

Good to see you mr buffet. After a long time. 😍

[Truongchihai]

I hope Greg can maintain Buffett's standard

[Indy-Vidual]

I love him. Taught me so much. Gonna really miss him.

[bluegtturbo]

Japanese are very smart and hard working.

Amen, the compound interest machine continues to grow. Big In Japan!
