Warren Buffett is the godfather of modern-day investing. For nearly 50 years, Buffett has run Berkshire Hathaway, which owns over 60 companies, like Geico and Dairy Queen, plus minority stakes in Apple, Coca-Cola, and many others. His $82.5 billion fortune makes him the third richest person in the world. And he's vowed to give nearly all of it away. The Oracle of Omaha is here to talk about what shaped his investment strategy and how to master today's market.
I'm Andy Serwer. Welcome to a special edition of "Influencers" from Omaha, Nebraska. It's my pleasure to welcome Berkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffett. Warren, welcome.
WARREN BUFFETT: Thanks for coming.
ANDY SERWER: So let's start off and talk about the economy a little bit. And obviously, we've been on a good long run here.
WARREN BUFFETT: A very long run.
ANDY SERWER: And does that surprise you? And what would be the signs that you would look for to see that things were winding down?
WARREN BUFFETT: Well, I look at a lot of figures just in connection with our businesses. I like to get numbers. So I'm getting reports in weekly in some businesses, but that doesn't tell me what the economy's going to six months from now or three months from now. It tells me what's going on now with our businesses. And it really doesn't make any difference in what I do today in terms of buying stocks or buying businesses what those numbers tell me. They're interesting, but they're not guides to me.

Invest in stocks is a great way to invest your money. The team is constantly checking the market for changes and make sure that you are always informed about the best time to invest. As a result, I have made more money than ever before, and I don’t have to manage my portfolio on my own! Invest in stocks, it’s worth it!
I’ve been investing with TERESA JENSEN WHITE’s guidance for a few years and I couldn’t be happier. Her company has given me the best ROI while preserving my capital and has the most thorough investment guidance out there. It also never burns my money with speculation or poor philosophies of risk management.
*TERESA JENSEN WHITE,* that’s her official page name you can do a web search to get in touch with her
Buying a stock is easy, but buying the right stock without a time-tested strategy is incredibly hard. Hence what are the best stocks to buy now or put on a watchlist? I’ve been trying to grow my portfolio of $260K for sometime now, my major challenge is not knowing the best entry and exit strategies… I would greatly appreciate any suggestions.
The market is volatile at this time, hence i will suggest you get yourself a financial-advisor that can provide you with entry and exit points on the shares/ETF you focus on.

@@emilybrown2719 that’s impressive!, I could really use the expertise of this advisors , my portfolio has been down bad….who’s the person guiding you.
@@jenniferkyle6036 I am guided by Susan Agnes Hancock. I found her on a CNBC interview where she was featured and reached out to her. She has since provided entry and exit points on the securities I focus on. You can look her up online if you care for supervision.
@@emilybrown2719 This recommendation literally came at the right time, I’m down by $7k in stocks this week alone.. its crazy! I just looked up Susan online and researched her accreditation. She seem very proficient, I wrote her detailing my Fin-market goals and scheduled a call.
Yes stocks are pretty unstable at the moment, but if you do the right math, you should be just fine. Bloomberg and other finance media have been recording cases of folks gaining over 250k just in a matter of weeks/couple months, so I think there are alot of wealth transfer in this downtime if you know where to look.
There are actually a lot of ways to make high yields in a crisis, but such trades are best done under the supervision of Financial advisor.
Thats true, I’ve been getting assisted by a FA for almost a year now, I started out with less than $200K and I’m just $19,000 short of half a million in profit.
@Dan Brooks My advisor Christine Jane Mclean is highly qualified and experienced in the financial market. She has extensive knowledge of portfolio diversity and is considered an expert in the field. I recommend researching her credentials further. She has many years of experience and is a valuable resource for anyone looking to navigate the financial market
Before entering the markets, it is advisable to learn more or get professional advice, especially if you are a newbie.
Right! Because professionals manage most of these tactics and loopholes more effectively. I’ve been able to scale from $35K to 65K this crash by following the advice of my coach.
@@joecaruso06 People’s constant tendency to want to accomplish everything themselves without ever considering the process is the problem. Direction and fundamental information cannot be missed, which is why you can become lost in the market noise (consolidation) or ignore some crucial elements that affect how each asset performs. Stocks are largely responsive to the fundamentals, and markets are more than just technicals.
@@joecaruso06wow! That’s a lot. Considering the bear season. How do i get a hold on one? I mean a coach?
@@hueymorello5115well it’s best to look out locally but I’m currently managed by Juliet Eve Downey and she’s been of great help with my finance journey. Came across her on a newsweekly interview
@@maryalchester you’re so bad at having a scammers thread of comments, you can’t even respond to the right fake account 😂
nice video Investing in alternative income streams that are independent of the government should be the top priority for everyone right now. especially given the global economic crisis we are currently experiencing. Stocks, gold, silver, and virtual currencies are still attractive investments at the moment.
I AGREE Making money from stocks look deceptively easy. The reality is that stock market is one of the toughest mental games in the world, hence i will suggest you get yourself a financial-advisor that can provide you with entry and exit points on the shares you focus on.
True, we’re only just an information away from amassing wealth, I know a lot of folks that made fortunes from the Dotcom crash as well as the 08’ crash and I’ve been looking into similar opportunities in this present market, could this coach that guides yo help?..
Like a forest fire that wipes out the old trees to make room for new growth, bearish periods ultimately establish a new crop of stocks to buy and watch while setting the stage for a robust new uptrend.I have been reading articles of people that grossed profits up to $250k during this crash, what are the best stocks to buy now or put on a watchlist?
The market is volatile at this time, hence i will suggest you get yourself a financial-advisor that can provide you with entry and exit points on the shares/ETF you focus on
I agree, I’ve been in constant touch with a Financial Analyst for approximately 8 months. You know, these days it’s really easy to buy into trending stocks, but the task is determining when to sell or hold. That’s where my manager comes in, to help me with entry and exit points , I’ve accrued over $550k from an initially stagnant reserve of $150K all within 14months
that’s stirring! Do you mind connecting me to your advisor please. I desperately need one to diversified my portfolio.
My advisor is “Eleanor Annette Eckhaus You can easily look her up, she has years of financial market experience…
The most important thing that should be on everyone mind currently should be to invest in different sources of income that doesn’t depend on the government. Especially with the current economic crisis around the word. This is still a good time to invest in various stocks, Gold, silver and digital currencies.
That’s so true. but if i may ask, do you trade all by yourself?
I have been investing in stocks for over 10 years now and I have made a lot of money. My portfolio has grown exponentially and I can’t thank stocks & ROCHELLE DUNGCA-SCHREIBER enough for such an amazing way to make money!
There are many conflicting opinions about stocks and their prospects in the coming years; I aim for short-term solid gains from market corrections, and I’d definitely hop on the ride if I knew a couple of things about day-trading, That is not on my speed right now i guess…. I’m just looking to make the right moves to help me grow and protect my $670,000 reserve from inflation that looks so scary.
it’s all hype! best to ignore the trend at the moment whether bullish or bearish, and stick to a proper trading plan preferably with expertise assistance.
Yeah, another reason I enjoy my day-to-day market decisions is that I’m being guided by a portfolio-coach. Given that their entire skill set is built around going long and short at the same time, both employing profit-oriented strategy and laying off risk as a hedge against the inevitable downtrends, it’s nearly impossible not to outperform. Since using a coach for two years and counting, I’ve earned more than $1.5 million in return on investment.
This right here, got my attention…. how do i reach this adviser of yours?
Do your homework and choose one that has strategies to help your portfolio grow consistently and steadily. ”Eileen Ruth Sparks” is responsible for the success of my portfolio, and I believe she possesses the qualifications and expertise to meet your goals.
Thanks for sharing, I just looked her up on the web and I would say she really has an impressive background in investing. I will write her an e-mail shortly.
Protecting your capital is much more important than making money. Basically because if you lose your capital, making money is much harder. ”Missing the train” vs. ”losing your money”. There are a lot of trains, but if your money is gone, it’s over.
Wall Street pitched so-called quality stocks with high profitability and low debt, as a kind of insurance against whatever the economy might throw at you. Quality stocks have underperformed the S&P500 this year, My $200k portfolio is down by approximately 20 %, any recommendations to scale up my returns on investment
Nobody knows anything You need to create your own process, manage risk and stick to the plan, through thick or thin While also continuously learning from mistakes and improving.
Exactly why i enjoy market decisions being guided by a pro , seeing that their entire skillset is built around going long and short at the same time both employing risk management and market experience , been using a portfolio-coach for over 2years+ and I’ve netted over $3million in that time frame.
my 401k growth has been stagnant since the 2019. I wouldn’t mind consulting the advisor who guides you, I really want to grow my retirement fund since I could retire in 3 years.
Helene Claire Johnson is widely known. You can verify her and use her services if you want.
Didn’t Charlie Munger and Warren Buffett invent the strategy of buying/investing when the market is low and also buying/investing when the market is high? As Warren Buffet said, he has seen this happen many times in his life. Not an investor. My wife and i never earned more than a middle class salary. We plan to get retired at 58 with a stock portfolio worth $4M. We have never sold so much as one share of stock…
It really isn’t about how much you save, it’s about how you manage your money. Whether you work to earn income or invest, it still boils down to income vs expenses, so yeah you may look into financial advisors for a strategy that suits your timing….
i’ve been doing this same thing myself. Can’t get into trouble with the IRS when I have no income and all my money is in stocks. I don’t like doing the work though. Lol. So I just invest through an advisor who does the stock picking. My money grows, and I’m tax-free…
@@bob.weaver72 I just started a few months back, I’m going for long term, I’m still trying to wrap my head around it, who’s this advisor you work with ?
@@lipglosskitten2610 ‘Catherine Morrison Evans’is the coach that guides me. She’s a verified coach and she helped me see that returns can be made in both bull and bear markets. She covers things like investing, insurance, making sure retirement is well funded and looking at ways to have a volatility buffer for investment risk, lots of things like that.
@@bob.weaver72 thanks for sharing this, I am in conversations with your advisor, and she really has substance, having interviewed her properly and reviewed her model, I am hoping she takes me on quite seriously too
Several of the biggest market experts have been voicing their opinions on exactly how awful they think the next downturn would be, and how far equities may have to go, as recession draws closer and inflation continues well above the Fed’s 2% objective. I’m trying to build a portfolio of at least $850k by the time I’m 60, therefore I need suggestions on what investments to make
There are many other interesting stocks in many industries that you might follow. You don’t have to act on every forecast, so I’ll suggest that you work with a financial advisor who can help you choose the best times to purchase and sell the shares or ETFs you want to acquire.
I’ve been in touch with a financial analyst ever since I started my business. Knowing today’s culture The challenge is knowing when to purchase or sell when investing in trending stocks, which is pretty simple. On my portfolio, which has grown over $900k in a little over a year, my adviser chooses entry and exit orders.
@@amirbrooks6530 I happen to know Kate Elizabeth Amdall . She has been my fin coach since 2018, no major losses has been recorded. Totally recommend her too.
@@Natalieneptune469 Oh found her! Looked up her full name and she was my top search. Thank you for this! Really appreciate.
We’re only just an information away from amassing wealth, The market has plenty of opportunities to earn a decent payouts, with the right skills and proper understanding of how the market works. I have currently set aside about $100k to put in the market But I lack the in-depth knowledge and mental toughness to deal with these recurring market conditions. please any advice or pointer on how to outperform the market producing good returns.
Building a good financial-portfolio is more complex so I would recommend you seek professional advice. This way you can get strategies designed to address your unique long/short-term goals and financial dreams.
Most people today have been having a lot of failures in market because of poor orientation. The market is volatile at this time, hence i will suggest you get yourself a professional advisor that can provide you with entry and exit points on the shares/ETF you focus on.
Only a good FA will be enough to guide you through the current market volatility. I’ve been speaking with an advisor for a while now, primarily because I don’t have the necessary expertise or stamina to handle these recurrent market conditions. The fact that I made over $220K during this downturn with the help of my coach “KAITLIN ROSE STERNBERG” proved that there is more to the market than the typical person is aware of. The greatest course of action right now is to have an investing consultant.
@@roseroland1998 That’s fascinating. I’ve been looking into similar opportunities in this present market, could this coach that guides you help? How can I contact your Asset-coach ?
@@anthonyrussell5718 You can run a quick online research with her name. I basically follow her market moves and haven’t regretted doing so
Like Warren Buffet said, dividends are only good if the business you’re investing into can’t make good use of that capital. So if you’re trying to invest into businesses with actual growth, looking at dividends is a waste of time. Why are you investing into a company if they’re returning capital to you because they think you can make better use if it than they can. It’s not much different from bond investing. The way I see it if you have a $1 million at some point, that’d be enough to create a portfolio that would pay you between 50k-70k in dividend income…
It’s not difficult, but you have to learn and handle. Another thing is that if you can’t manage your home, maybe you shouldn’t invest on your own. If so, you should hire a CFP to help you diversify your assets to include ETFs/index funds/mutual funds and stocks of companies with consistent cash flows, rather than betting on penny stocks.
A lot of folks downplay the role of advisors until being burnt by their own emotions. I remember couple summers back, after my lengthy divorce, I needed a good boost to help my business stay afloat, hence I researched for license advisors and came across someone of due diligence, helped a lot to grow my reserve notwithstanding inflation, from $275k to approx. $850k so far.
Over the following 3 months, I want to increase my reserve from $280,000 to at least $550,000. I would be grateful for any advice you can give on how to accurately predict the market and how to diversify and balance my portfolio in order to accomplish my goal.
I really don’t like making such recommendations, because everybody’s situation is unique. But there are many freelance wealth managers you could check out. I have been working with “Natalie Marie Tuttle” for about four years now, and she’s really, really good. If she meets your discretion, then you could go ahead with her. I endorse her.
Thank you. I just checked her out now and I’ve sent an email. I hope she gets back to me soon. I’ve been thinking of doing this for a long time now, and I’ve procrastinated enough already.
Kiyosaki as my late husband would say have achieved an incredible feat in the stock market. He 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.
For the average Joe, however, I think it is just best to invest and just wait, which is reliable, albeit extremely long– lots of years. Or just use a professional analyst and speed up wealth creation. Most people underestimate the power of the latter.
@@jamescomb1170 I agree with you, it has been so much of a hassle since the pandemic. I started out with investing on my own, but I lost a lot of money. I was able to pull out about $200k after the 2020 crash. I invested the money using an analyst, and in seven months, I raked in almost $673,000. The role of analyst can’t be denied.
@@jameswood9772 I’m intrigued by your experience. Could you possibly recommend a trustworthy advisor you’ve consulted with?
@@jessicamoore3093 It’s best you do your due diligence, I have my portfolio overseen by Lisa Angelique Abel ‘’ and her qualifications speak for itself. Most likely, the internet is where to find basic info, she has a noticeable page for consulting.
@@jameswood9772 just copied and pasted her full name on my browser, super impressed with what I’ve seen so far. thanks for sharing!
As an investing enthusiast, I often wonder how top level investors are able to become millionaires off investing. I do have about $70k amount of capital to start up but I have no idea what strategies and direction I need to approach to help me make decent returns
Invest if you actually want to be wealthy. However, you should get guidance from a financial advisor if you want to create a successful long-term plan….
Having an investment adviser is the best way to go about the stock market right now, especially for near retirees, I’ve been in touch with a coach for awhile now mostly and I made over $80K within a short time
How can I reach this adviser of yours? because I’m seeking for a more effective investment approach on my savings
Do your due diligence and opt for one that has tactics to help your portfolio continue consistent and steady growth. “Helene Claire Johnson” is accountable for the success of my portfolio, and I believe she has the qualifications and expertise to accomplish your objectives.
This is useful information; I copied her full name and pasted it into my browser; her website popped up immediately and her qualifications are excellent; thanks for sharing.
I’ve been diligently working, saving, and investing toward financial independence and early retirement, but the economy since the pandemic has eaten up the majority of my $3 million portfolio. I want to know: Do I keep contributing to my portfolio in these unstable markets, or do I look into alternative sectors?
Just try to diversify your portfolio to other market sectors, that way your investment is balanced and you don’t get to make so much losses.
I stopped listening and taking financial advise from these YouTubers, because at the end of the day, I end up with a bunch of confusing stocks without knowing when to take profit, In reality, all I needed was professional advice.
How can I participate in this? I sincerely aspire to establish a secure financial future and am eager to participate. Who is the driving force behind your success?
I’m a contractor, and my job doesn’t permit me the time to properly analyze my holdings/evaluate stocks myself, so I’ve had a fiduciary ” Helene Claire Johnson ” actively restructuring my portfolio for the past 7 years now to match the present market condition and that’s how I’ve been able to stay afloat, knowing when to buy and sell…maybe you should do the same.
She appears to be well-educated and well-read. I ran a Google search for her name and came across her website; thank you for sharing.
Awesome analysis! I’m an aspiring trader who would rather learn from other traders’ experience than investing in the market myself, in anticipation of the next bull run. What are your thoughts on copy trading as well? Do individuals actually earn a living? Just trying to get some reassurance. I want to have a healthy portfolio worth at least $850,000. Reliable inputs please.
Why not? You can follow a skilled trader and learn how they trade. Its really not as difficult as many people presume it to be. It requires a certain level of diligence, no doubt, which is something ordinary investors lack, and so a financial advisor often comes in very handy.
I’ve copied trades from a licensed wealth manager over the past few years and its better than trading blindly on your own if youre an absolute newbie. It would give you a better understanding of what’s happening but keep in mind that the success of copying another trader is dependable on their transparency. That’s actually how I was able to raise a profit of $610K in a few months of active sessions.
This is interesting. Can I ask who it is that has been guiding you, please?
The adviser I’m in touch with is ‘Lisa Angelique Abel’ He works with Merrill, Pierce, Smith incorporated and interviewed on CNBC Television. You can use something else, for me his strategy works hence my result. He provides entry and exit point for the securities I focus on.
Thanks, I just googled her I’m really impressed with her credentials. I reached out to him since I need all the assistance I can get.
The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams. Success is a state of mind. I think I’m blessed because if not I wouldn’t have met someone who is as spectacular as Expert Mrs Lucy Mary Liam.
I’m glad I was introduced to forex trading and got the best teacher and mentor who helped me understand the financial market I’m grateful to Mrs Liam🙏
Hit $200k today. Thank you for all the knowledge and nuggets you had thrown my way over the last months. Started with $20k in October 2023
Most rich people stay rich by spending like the poor and investing without no stopping then most poor people stay poor by spending like the rich yet not investing like the rich but impressing them
@@georgemattocks You’re absolutely right, and that’s a beautiful mindset you’ve got there I never thought of it this way before.
The idea of the whole trade market is something I still can’t wrap my head around.
The S&P 500 moved 8.9% higher in November, achieving one of its best monthly performances in history.. which is an indicator for profits to continue to improve. I just want my money to keep outgrowing the inflation rate. I’m still looking for companies to make additions to my $350K portfolio, to boost performance. Here for ideas…
Off course, but Just because there are opportunities in the market doesn’t mean you should go in blindly. To understand the potential factors that contribute to your financial growth, I’ll advise you to seek the help of a professional.
I’ve remained in touch with a financial analyst since the start of my business. Amid today’s dynamic market, the key difficulty is pinpointing the right time to buy or sell when dealing with trending stocks – a seemingly simple task but challenging in reality. My portfolio has grown by more than $600k within just a year, and I’ve entrusted my advisor with the task of determining entry and exit points.
@@maryHenokNft Do you mind sharing info on the adviser who assisted you?
Definitely! All of this happened in less than a year after *Gertrude Margaret Quinto* told me what to do. I started with less than $100,000, and now I’m about 17,000 short of having a quarter million dollars.
Appreciate this recommendation, hopefully I can get some insight to where the market is headed and strategies to beat the downtrend with when I hear back from gertrude
Does the stock market appear to be improving, or is this merely the typical temporary manipulation of the market to draw in new investors? Right now, I have $500k left over from the sale of my house, and I’m wondering whether there are any better investments than stocks to make.
Get a financial planner asap!!. Do not day trade…you will lose..95% unless you are a master trader its not worth it.
AGREED! Having the right plan is invaluable, my portfolio is well-matched for every season of the market and recently hit 100% rise from early last year. I and my CFP are working on a 7 figure ballpark goal, tho this could take till Q1 2024.
How can I participate in this? I sincerely aspire to establish a secure financlal future and am eager to participate. Who is the driving force behind your success.
Karen Leigh Owens is the licensed coach I use. Just research the name. You’d find necessary details to work with a correspondence to set up an appointment.
I appreciate it. After searching her name online and reviewing her credentials, I’m quite impressed. I’ve contacted her as I could use all the help I can get. A call has been scheduled.
