Warren Buffett's Investment Strategy: How to Live and Invest like a Legend (Full Interview)

Warren Buffett discusses his childhood, his influences, his family, the loss of his wife Susie, Omaha, Berkshire Hathaway, business advice and his friendship with Charlie Munger among many other topics.

Warren Edward Buffett was born on August 30, 1930, in Omaha, Nebraska. He demonstrated a knack for financial and business matters early in his childhood and enrolled at the University of Pennsylvania at the age of 16 to study business, transferring to the University of Nebraska to complete his degree. He received his master’s degree in economics at Columbia University and furthered his education at the New York Institute of Finance. In 1956 Buffet formed the firm Buffett Partnership Ltd., leading to the acquisition of a textile company named Berkshire Hathaway, which he ultimately expanded into media assets such as The Washington Post, insurance, and oil. Earning the nickname the “Oracle of Omaha” he even managed to make seemingly poor investments profitable, most notably scandal-plagued Salomon Brothers in 1987. Buffett became director of the company from 1989-2006 following Berkshire Hathaway’s significant investment in Coca-Cola. In 2006 Buffett announced he would be committing his fortune to philanthropy, with 85 percent pledged to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, which became the largest act of charitable giving in United States history.

These are very valuable info for anybody who wants to get rich. Unfortunately, most people who will watch this video will not really be able to apply the principles. We may not want to admit, but as Warren Buffett once said, investing is like any other profession-- it requires a certain level of expertise. No surprise that some people are losing a lot of money in the bear market, while others are making hundreds of thousands in profit. I just don't know how they do it. I have about $109k now to put in the market.

[DavisFreeman-nucu]

Munger and Buffett have both achieved an incredible feat with Berkshire. They've turned thousands to billions, and have made a lot of people wealthy in the process. I really saw the potential of the stock market by reading Berkshire's annual letters. I recently sold my $674k apartment in the Bel Air area and I'm hoping to throw it into the stock market. I just don't want to lose everything.

[AntonioBianh]

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?

[lassila]

We all look up to this guy to begin with because he has a lot of money, but what we end up with is how such a great human he is.

[SeanDaDucky]

what strikes me as absolutely incredible is how good his memory is!

[wxqechf]

Nobody can become financially successful overnight. They put in background work but we tend to see the finished part. Fear is a dangerous component, hindering us from taking the bold steps we need in other to reach our goals.

[noturdaddyblameyomomma]

I always appreciate Warren's candidness. Most people cringe at talking about personal family stuff.

[cherishlife]

I have learnt more listening to WB then from education and work.

[Raymondjohn]

Great video, I've been interested in investing ever since I came across articles of people making up to $150, 000 and more in this period, thanks for the video but is it really possible for a retail investor to achieve this in months?

[Chronos]

Beautifully soft lit set, no screaming and disturbance, the most professionally shot interview of Warren in recent times.So many quotes he mentioned i jotted down.Thank you for this, we continue to learn alot from Mr Warren

[karlisrubenis]

Warren is such an open book. An absolute inspiration, role model, and hero to me.

[svee]

What an impressive and intelligent person. I can see how his smile and laughter helped in addition to being a smart businessman.

[sanyuelpuganda]

Wow! Sir Buffet! I hope I will be able to emulate you Sir... Thank you for your discipleship... You are in our heart prayers...

[coreycadden]

All I can think about listening to this I how American he is. His kids and his family grew up very normal...

[rajahjain]

You pass down love you get people like this you pass down money you get people like most of us.

[pamelamonarch]

You’re right! The current market might give opportunities to maximize profit, but in order to execute such effective transactions, you must be a skilled practitioner.

[MHsffd]

I hope there will be a movie about Warren Buffet one day.

[malcolmneate]

What a great interview and so different to many things he usually talks about

[davidanderson]

This is a privilege to watch, many thanks.

[jeffpestano]

If every billionaire was like this guy the world would be in a much better place. Take away the money and his approach to life seems to be the correct way.
