My strategy is; buy quality companies, expect to hold no matter what, pay up but don’t over pay, keep track, sell rarely, be ready to course correct

[opensourceguy]

Ugh, if only I was intellectually curious enough in my early 20s to seek and heed this advice from Warren, Charlie, and John Bogle!

Investing in the stock market has HISTORICALLY provided higher returns than other forms of investment. According to Morningstar, the average annual return for the S&P 500 index, which measures the performance of 500 large-cap stocks, was approximately 10% from 1926 to 2020.

Warren Buffett is the only person who could talk about index funds and make it interesting.

[marshallhosel]

I do love that Warren recommended we read Jack Bogle.

[rusco]

and for the record, some s&p 500 funds have gone up by as much as 78% since this video got posted, thank you gents

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

Thank you for uploading this. These two gentlemen are so good to share their wisdom, learning and experience. How lucky for the average person to have this opportunity and good fortune to partake and benefit. Best common sense and hard headed advice and approach I have heard.

Insightful video. I just want to know best how people split their pay, how much of it goes into savings, spendings or investments. I'm 27, and earn nothing less $150k per year, but nothing to show for it yet.

[julieannscotia]

Thanks for this video and info on book.

Vanguard index funds made me rich! Retiring in two years at the age of 57.

The most insightful talk I've heard. You have to listen carefully and several times. Assuring your old days comes down to despite not being able to predict a winner in an soecific time, you invest bit by bit across several years. Incredibke talk! In a nutshell is how to make your investment anti fragile and not dependent upon what you don't know.

2:50 is awesome. If you think it is great then invest over a long period of time. Not a large chunk at once. I.e. if you think that index is great then keep investing in it for a long time.

[raymondpereira]

Following the same path here in India.

I'm not sure what year shareholder-meeting this is, of Berkshire Hathaway; but, post-2008/-2009, very low interest-rates — both in the United States, and in much of Western Europe — with corresponding very high equity price–earnings ratios, have (at least to the time of this writing, January 30th, 2021, ~5:25 P.M., E.T.) become the typical, rather than the hypothetical.

[Imoutoftheoffice]

Wow I knew the answers to those questions in High School

[robbybee]

when Buffett asked for the peanut brittle....I wish Munger had asked him what it was worth to him

[timetraveller]

Buffet clearly says not to go broader beyond an S&P 500 fund..small caps etc

[NoNonsenseJohnson]

I wish 16 year old me could absorb this information and act on it. 🤯
