      I don’t see how investing in a soda company who everyone generally agrees is bad for you isn’t gambling

      once tried “investing” by buying lottery tickets, ended up with a new appreciation for warren’s patience lmao

      BRK is so big that retail investors have much better opportunity to deploy capital than they do. They aren’t sitting on that massive cash pile because there isn’t any opportunity they are sitting on it because there isn’t any opportunity for THEM. Warren keeps telling people that BRKs days of rapid growth are behind them but people continue to not listen.

      Abel needs to use some of those cash reserves to better their own businesses. There are very few if any private businesses of BRK that I would choose to own over their public peers. That is going to be where their growth comes from. The stock picking days are over. The operator days are now here.

      Gamblers don’t agree and why this market remains disconnected from the economy

      Y’all misunderstand, it’s not gambling if it’s left almost exclusively to the professionals who work out of their own expensive beach houses.

      He’s not going to get back to a 2018 environment if that is what he’s hoping and/or asking for. His last chance was to BTFD in 2022 and he didn’t go big there either and missed a 3 year bull run.

      Anything with risk is essentially a gamble. It is evaluating what is your risk tolerance.

      That’s what I say when I am not making as much money as others are.

      buy the top – sell the the bottom. its not gambling at all.

      Yeah cant agree more with Buffett! Look at Chip stocks MU SNDK … uncontrollable gamble! the harder you go up, the harder you fall.

      I do have SNDK shares from $450 though but I am not investing it in further!

      How would that matter if you are investing in “value” and “long term”. It’s just noise.

      Buffett is the King of the casino. He plays only one kind of game, bets on only one type of hand and has been winning for decades. He’s been winning so long he forgot he was sitting in a casino and thought he was at a charity.

    39. FoulestWinner on

      As soon as I finish this smoke I’m going back for more. I can *feel* it, I have win sometime.

      Basically it seems that either inheritance or insider trading are the only ways to get out of Wendy’s.
