Was digging through the archives and came across this absolute gem from the 1996 Berkshire Hathaway annual meeting! I figured this was the perfect video to share today (2019/2020) with people asking the tricky question of whether they should wait to buy stocks or jump into the markets. Leave your thoughts below.




Thanks for watching! :D

Time in the market beats timing the market.

Well the flu epidemic is here so time to start buying 🤑🤑🤑

Patience is what rich people develop, making money is what follows.

[warrenbuffett]

I always know what to buy I never know when

"Phil would you stand up? Phil is, uh, 99..."
maybe we don't ask Phil to stand up anymore.

[p.c.h.]

“Flu epidemic” 😷 Well, here we are....

I'm waiting for an apocalypse to buy a Tesla stock.

If you had bought $50k worth of stock split between these 3 companies - they would be worth well over 1 million $ . The dividends of these holdings would be paying an annual return more than the original price of investment.

Funny that Warren Talked in codes in this one. For some odd reason, he did not just say it straight out. He made it much harder to understand the answer than it should have been. - The simple answer was "no" "waiting for a depression or scandal that maybe wont come in the near future is not what I have done"

Buy when you have the money. Buy more when it dips.

Everyone is a stock expert in the comment section apparently.

Save all in cash and take a trip to Vegas remember with faith you will triple you gains

[zacharylewis]

Agreed which is why a stock I initially wanted BA was a bit too high for me. Well now I got it at $97/share. I'm happy I waited lol.

There is a reason why Buffett mumbled around without giving a direct answer. He is a value investor. He will not buy a business at any price. He hates cash, but his aversion to paying too much for businesses surpasses his hate for cash. Take a hint. Read chapter 20 of The Intelligent Investor at least. That's what Buffett explicitly recommended.

In other words buy a 'wonderful' business today - don't worry about the price of the stock when a market 'crash'/correction occurs. If you have available capital buy more of the business - taking advantage of the lower stock price. A good business is still a good business whether there's a stock market crash or not. Don't be too hung up about day-day, month to month or even year to year stock price movements. Wise words indeed

[loneranjah]

I would say the most important take away from this would be too keep a cash position on the side for amazing opportunities when they come along.

[deejayspillz]

I think this video of Warren was from before the out-of-control ten-year bull market.

Here’s my thoughts:

We shouldn’t wait for a crash because we cannot time the market. It’s foolish to think you can, but I do believe piling a shit tonne of cash for such a rainy day because when a crash occurs, it is the closest we can possibly get to “timing”. The market will recover after some time, it has to happen, and the longer you stay in the market the lest riskier it gets, but I like to believe that a crash is a golden opportunity to buy because the best companies are discounted quite nicely and the crap companies are filtered out by bankruptcy.

Buy as much as you can....but that’s providing that you’ve done the research before hand so when the crash occurs you already know what targets to look for. Always stay ready and prepared for the golden opportunity that life occasionally throws at you. And whilst a crash wipes out some, it’s a gold mine for us.

I think with situations right now...it's hard to say...thing already changes... lots already become *new normal*
