Owen Rask is joined by Drew Meredith, CFP to reflect on Warren Buffett's latest Berkshire Hathaway (BRK) shareholder letter and share 10 pieces of Buffett's wisdom.5 of Owen's favourite Buffett ideas are as follows: Buffett the teacher & the Orangutan effect. Teach a monkey and you'll be a better investor. Closing the market for 5 years anchors you to valuation, not price. "Favorable long-term prospects" and what it means. It doesn't mean themes or sectors. It means strong franchises. Staying invested - Buffett has $US144 billion of cash! He's wanted to be 100% equities since the 1960s! Focus on Owner earnings - increasing asset values & dividend income are what matter. Drew's 5 Buffett's insights: Work-life balance doesn't get you ahead. Buffett eats annual reports for breakfast. Buffett does business-picking, not stock-picking. Compounding returns, not indexing. Buffett is a private equity investor. Buffett's big four & true diversification in action. Insurance & Statutory fund; Apple, Railroads and Energy. Decarbonising the world is going to start at the top.
