I'm excited and with me is retired financial 35 00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:54,080 Speaker 3: advisor and expert in all things investing, in all things 36 00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:55,520 Speaker 3: in general, Victoria Divide. 37 00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:57,640 Speaker 4: Hello, Beck, I'm so excited and I know that we're 38 00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,320 Speaker 4: going to talk about like a billionaire investing strategy today, 39 00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:02,840 Speaker 4: but like let's get rich, but like not that rich? 40 00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:05,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I don't know at what point, like 41 00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:06,440 Speaker 2: what's the level? 42 00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:09,240 Speaker 4: Right, There's like people always say, like money can't buy happiness, 43 00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:10,280 Speaker 4: which I disagree with. 44 00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:11,960 Speaker 2: Because I think money. 45 00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:15,560 Speaker 4: Buys freedom, right yeah, and like if you've got freedom, 46 00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:20,600 Speaker 4: you are healthier, happier, like spiritually, mentally, all of that stuff, right, 47 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:22,640 Speaker 4: Like I will not put up with anyone being like 48 00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:25,440 Speaker 4: money can't buy happiness, You're right, Like there's a cap 49 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:28,520 Speaker 4: and a believe from research, it's like eighty two thousand 50 00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:31,440 Speaker 4: dollars a year is the cap at which if you 51 00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:35,120 Speaker 4: earn that much, like you're happy. And I mean this 52 00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:38,360 Speaker 4: is not to say that you're not financially stressed like 53 00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:40,600 Speaker 4: we are Casey lives right now, like we don't need 54 00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:43,120 Speaker 4: to go back and forth, but about eighty two thousand 55 00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:47,359 Speaker 4: dollars apparently is the limit at which any more money 56 00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:51,200 Speaker 4: doesn't make you any more happy, Like you just stop 57 00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:55,639 Speaker 4: having an increase in happiness because of your finances. 58 00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:57,120 Speaker 3: Right, I mean, it's at the very least still take 59 00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:02,400 Speaker 3: away the crippling anxiety of constantly being brogue or in debt. 60 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:05,320 Speaker 2: So I think, yeah, but that's one hundred two tho. 61 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:08,080 Speaker 4: But at the same time, on the flip side, I 62 00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:11,440 Speaker 4: am an ex financial advisor. As you mentioned, I love 63 00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:16,040 Speaker 4: talking about money, I love investing, and I love talking 64 00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:20,480 Speaker 4: about you know, this guy is one of the longest 65 00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:26,440 Speaker 4: running investors and like arguably the most successful investor the 66 00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:29,400 Speaker 4: share market has ever seen. Like and I'm not being dramatic, 67 00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:33,880 Speaker 4: here has ever seen like this. One individual has made 68 00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:36,840 Speaker 4: literally billions of dollars And I've got a lot of 69 00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:40,160 Speaker 4: conversation like not for now, but like you don't need 70 00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:43,040 Speaker 4: to continue to hold billions of dot can you imagine 71 00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:45,640 Speaker 4: the impact you could have? I know, Like, don't get 72 00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:47,720 Speaker 4: me wrong, we like I want to be rich, Like 73 00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:50,920 Speaker 4: that's no secret. I'm she's on the money, Beck, Like 74 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:54,000 Speaker 4: I want to be financially secure. I want to you know, 75 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:56,240 Speaker 4: be able to provide for my children all of that. 76 00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:59,840 Speaker 4: But at what point should you be giving away your money? 77 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:00,800 Speaker 2: Yeh, yeah, I don't know. 78 00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:04,839 Speaker 4: Different conversation that just makes me very uncomfortable. But the 79 00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:08,320 Speaker 4: best investor, the not just Australian but the world wide 80 00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:11,920 Speaker 4: share market has ever seen, is Warren Buffett. 81 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:15,520 Speaker 2: Warren Buffer, Warren Buffy but Warren. 82 00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:19,120 Speaker 4: Buffett, right, yeah, And he is known as being like 83 00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:23,320 Speaker 4: the pinnacle, Like there are people that follow this man 84 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:26,360 Speaker 4: to a teeth. He makes an investing decision, they make 85 00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:29,520 Speaker 4: an investing decision. And I believe that there is a 86 00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:31,960 Speaker 4: lot we can learn from him, because as much as 87 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:35,680 Speaker 4: I don't necessarily agree with being a billionaire, he's an 88 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:39,520 Speaker 4: incredibly smart man. And there are so many people who 89 00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:43,839 Speaker 4: have been quite critical of him historically, not because he's rich, 90 00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:46,279 Speaker 4: but because they're like, oh my god, if he'd invested 91 00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:49,000 Speaker 4: in this business earlier, he would have made even more money. 92 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:52,120 Speaker 4: But he's very calculated with his decisions. And I think 93 00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:53,240 Speaker 4: we can learn a lot from that. 94 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:55,560 Speaker 3: Okay, And I was gonna you did kind of answer 95 00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:56,880 Speaker 3: it for me. I wouldn't to do, like why is 96 00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:58,800 Speaker 3: it beg deal? Like how do we even know? 97 00:04:59,240 --> 00:04:59,960 Speaker 2: Like did we just try? 98 00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:02,920 Speaker 3: Like It's all sounds so confusing to me, because how 99 00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:04,960 Speaker 3: like I could be a good investor, but no one. 100 00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:08,960 Speaker 4: But he's not a publicly trading company, so he shares 101 00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:12,200 Speaker 4: all of this public clear right, so he's investing decisions 102 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:15,560 Speaker 4: are news like, So whenever he makes a trade, his 103 00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:19,520 Speaker 4: company puts out essentially a press release says, Warren's invested 104 00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:23,000 Speaker 4: in X. And this guy nowadays is not like putting 105 00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:28,840 Speaker 4: ten dollars on after pay. He's like making big, big, 106 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:32,440 Speaker 4: multi million dollar moves. And because he's got a publicly 107 00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:35,799 Speaker 4: listed company, he legally has to disclose that as well. 108 00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:39,040 Speaker 4: So everything he does is public knowledge. 109 00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:40,240 Speaker 2: Okay, that makes sense. I guess. 110 00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:42,320 Speaker 3: Like the thing is he's kind of like using a 111 00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:43,920 Speaker 3: lot of money and so probably making a lot of money. 112 00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:47,000 Speaker 2: But did he start there? He started from scratch and okay, 113 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:48,560 Speaker 2: you know, we might get into it. 114 00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:50,920 Speaker 4: And it's actually funny if you if you want to 115 00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:54,760 Speaker 4: see humble, google his car and google his house. 116 00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:57,279 Speaker 2: So he still drives his I believe it's. 117 00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:00,280 Speaker 4: Like a Toyota Camri because I don't need that, Like 118 00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:03,200 Speaker 4: why do you need a new car? And he still 119 00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:05,480 Speaker 4: lives in the family home that he and his wife 120 00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:07,960 Speaker 4: bought because he's just like, I don't need anything more 121 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:11,400 Speaker 4: than that. So I would say relatively well balanced. But 122 00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:15,720 Speaker 4: he's literally like rich rich, Like he's not just like, 123 00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:19,560 Speaker 4: oh he's wealthy. He's one of the ten wealthiest people 124 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:23,440 Speaker 4: on this planet. And currently, if we do a little Google, 125 00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:27,920 Speaker 4: he's worth more than one hundred and fifty billion dollars. 126 00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:32,080 Speaker 3: WHOA, that's like everything he when people say worth, is 127 00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:33,039 Speaker 3: that like everything you own? 128 00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:36,279 Speaker 4: Like it's everything he owns. All of his investments includes 129 00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:38,880 Speaker 4: his car. Yeah, that's one of his askcts. 130 00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:41,160 Speaker 2: The car. The little Twitter come includes the car. That's 131 00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:43,680 Speaker 2: so cute, young glad they included that, Yeah, but he didn't. 132 00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:45,720 Speaker 4: I think a lot of people assume that when you're 133 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:48,760 Speaker 4: a big dog investor, you must have come from family wealth. 134 00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:52,560 Speaker 4: I've actually just finished Sirens on Netflix, which is a 135 00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:56,359 Speaker 4: fantastic series. Like I binged to the whole thing about 136 00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:59,800 Speaker 4: like people in upstate New York like doing that very 137 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:04,360 Speaker 4: Deen's vibes. Yeah, really rich billionaires living their rich lives anyway, 138 00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:07,960 Speaker 4: very fun. But a lot of that wealth that you 139 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:11,000 Speaker 4: see is often inherited. But he actually built all of 140 00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:13,960 Speaker 4: his wealth by investing and other businesses since the fifties. 141 00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:17,480 Speaker 4: Like this guy's old Beck Like he is old, and 142 00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:22,640 Speaker 4: people are still following this guy who way past retirement 143 00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:25,840 Speaker 4: age because he just makes such good decisions. In fact, 144 00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:29,560 Speaker 4: I told you before that he has a publicly listed company. 145 00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:33,480 Speaker 4: He runs one of the most powerful companies in the 146 00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:38,239 Speaker 4: world as the chairman and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway, which 147 00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:41,360 Speaker 4: is actually worth Get this got to be sitting down, 148 00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:43,640 Speaker 4: it's worth more than a trillion dollars. 149 00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:45,960 Speaker 2: Okay, well that's unnecessary. 150 00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:49,600 Speaker 4: That's actually like, that's more than I can actually comprehend. 151 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:53,680 Speaker 4: And Berkshire so his company actually owns or invests in 152 00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:55,800 Speaker 4: companies that you definitely know, so. 153 00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:57,840 Speaker 2: We can do this too, but maybe not to the 154 00:07:57,920 --> 00:07:58,880 Speaker 2: extent that he does. 155 00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:01,960 Speaker 4: But he owns things like Apple and Coca Cola and 156 00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:05,600 Speaker 4: Amex and the Bank of America and Dairy Queen. He 157 00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:08,640 Speaker 4: owns Jurisicelle batteries and he also owns tins. 158 00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:12,360 Speaker 2: Oh, okay, well I have like ten dollars and Apple. Yeah, 159 00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:14,960 Speaker 2: good job, honey, I did not think about the others. 160 00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:17,720 Speaker 3: Okay, well, well I really can't wait. 161 00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:22,000 Speaker 2: Jansen and apparently means means billions. God, he see his 162 00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:24,440 Speaker 2: potential and everything, doesn't he Dairy Queen? Who would have thought? 163 00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:29,040 Speaker 3: So? Why has Warren willfour been in the headlines again recently. 164 00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:33,280 Speaker 4: Because he has come out and said, guys, I'm retiring. Wow, 165 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:35,600 Speaker 4: I'm just I'm going to take a step back. I'm 166 00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:39,240 Speaker 4: going to create a retirement plan.

Because you know how 170 00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:53,480 Speaker 4: I said, like, oh, he's old old Beck, our friend Warren, 171 00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:54,959 Speaker 4: he's ninety four. 172 00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:58,200 Speaker 2: Oh and he's just yeah, and he's just still willing 173 00:08:58,280 --> 00:08:58,600 Speaker 2: and deal. 174 00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:01,680 Speaker 4: Then Yeah, like my grandpa made it to ninety four 175 00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:04,760 Speaker 4: before he passed away, and like he was as sharp 176 00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:05,319 Speaker 4: as attack. 177 00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:07,400 Speaker 2: So I have no doubt that this guy is still 178 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:08,120 Speaker 2: sharp as attack. 179 00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:10,640 Speaker 4: But he needs a little bit of like retirement time, 180 00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:13,040 Speaker 4: a little bit of down time. Maybe time to enjoy 181 00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:15,040 Speaker 4: thirty is too late, roughly. 182 00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:19,040 Speaker 2: But enjoy the billions you've made. Yeah, seriously, on a holiday, 183 00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:20,760 Speaker 2: maybe he could go on a trip to Bali with 184 00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:23,280 Speaker 2: his sam. It's never too late. It's absolutely never too late. 185 00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:24,600 Speaker 2: It's not well, it's shocked me. 186 00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:27,200 Speaker 4: It's massive news because lots of people just assumed that 187 00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:29,680 Speaker 4: he would never retire because at the end of the day, 188 00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:32,440 Speaker 4: like you know, he's eighty, and then he's eighty five 189 00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:35,400 Speaker 4: and then he's ninety, still just pushing on running this company. 190 00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:38,400 Speaker 4: But now he's ninety four and he's like, actually, probably 191 00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:40,680 Speaker 4: should put in place some retirement plans. 192 00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:41,880 Speaker 2: Greg Abel's been waiting. 193 00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:45,200 Speaker 4: He's just been in the back being like, Hey, is 194 00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:47,120 Speaker 4: this ever going to be my time to shine? 195 00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:49,440 Speaker 2: Or am I going to retire before you? What's going on? 196 00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:53,520 Speaker 4: But it's big, big news because Warren Buffett has been 197 00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:58,600 Speaker 4: I would say, the face of investing for sixty plus YUS. Yeah, 198 00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:01,439 Speaker 4: like he has been the guy everyone writes books about. 199 00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:03,760 Speaker 4: He has been the guy that everyone turns to during 200 00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:06,439 Speaker 4: economic downturn to be like, what are the big moves 201 00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:09,640 Speaker 4: Warren's making? What's going on here? If he's trusting this, 202 00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:13,720 Speaker 4: we trust that. And he's been essentially the biggest influencer 203 00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:17,400 Speaker 4: in that space, well the OG influencer exactly. And the 204 00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:20,680 Speaker 4: announcement was made recently at the twenty twenty five Berkshire 205 00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:23,600 Speaker 4: Hathaway AGM, which this is going to sound so lame. 206 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:27,120 Speaker 4: I invest in Berkshire Hathaway because like, one day I'm 207 00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:29,760 Speaker 4: hoping that as an investor I can go to their AGM. 208 00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:33,600 Speaker 4: Oh isn't that the lamest thing even at all? 209 00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:33,880 Speaker 2: Is this? 210 00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:37,240 Speaker 3: Like this has happened before or you're just like we 211 00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:38,640 Speaker 3: can go You'll see me. 212 00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:41,560 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, Like imagine being able to go to the anyway, 213 00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:44,800 Speaker 4: That's just what I'm like. Oh, bucket list items sair 214 00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:47,400 Speaker 4: And it's actually the first major one without a guy 215 00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:50,920 Speaker 4: called Charlie Munda there by his side. So this guy, 216 00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:53,920 Speaker 4: which you probably haven't heard of in the same way 217 00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:56,640 Speaker 4: that you've heard of Warren. He was the long term 218 00:10:56,679 --> 00:11:00,240 Speaker 4: business partner and absolutely investing icon in his own right, 219 00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:03,439 Speaker 4: but he was a business partner of Warren. But unfortunately, 220 00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:07,320 Speaker 4: Charlie actually passed away in late twenty twenty three, and 221 00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:09,839 Speaker 4: he and Warren had worked together for more than sixty years. 222 00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:11,960 Speaker 4: So I wouldn't be surprised if this was one of 223 00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:14,360 Speaker 4: the reasons that Warren's kind of like, well, if he's 224 00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:17,960 Speaker 4: not here, you know, it's not as fun, like, you know, 225 00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:21,720 Speaker 4: two mates more than sixty years making big decisions together 226 00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:23,920 Speaker 4: is kind of like, I'm kind of out. 227 00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:25,800 Speaker 2: That's devastating, Yeah, exactly. 228 00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:28,440 Speaker 4: And people are actually calling it the end of an era, 229 00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:30,400 Speaker 4: which I kind of feel in my bones as well. 230 00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:32,080 Speaker 2: I'm like, well, who are we going to follow now? 231 00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:34,400 Speaker 2: Who's the like big dog in this space? 232 00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:39,080 Speaker 4: There isn't anyone who has ever been as influential or 233 00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:42,840 Speaker 4: correct about the markets as Warren Beck. There's also and 234 00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:44,520 Speaker 4: I feel like I'm just harping on about this, but 235 00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:46,600 Speaker 4: like this is kind of like this is. 236 00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:49,440 Speaker 2: My real housewives? Are you in ye element? So I'm 237 00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:50,160 Speaker 2: just vibing it. 238 00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:52,480 Speaker 4: There's another big thing that lots of people in the 239 00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:56,199 Speaker 4: industry are kind of like whispering about. And that's because 240 00:11:56,440 --> 00:12:00,040 Speaker 4: Berkshire Hathaway. So his company is actually sitting on a 241 00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:03,559 Speaker 4: lot of cash. So there is one hundred and eighty 242 00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:06,920 Speaker 4: nine billion dollars worth of cash sitting in that business. 243 00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:10,600 Speaker 2: Do you mean physical physical cash? Really? 244 00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:12,840 Speaker 4: Yes, So like if you logged into their you know, 245 00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:16,400 Speaker 4: online transactions, that's how much cash they're sitting. 246 00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:17,280 Speaker 2: I see, I see, I see it. 247 00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:20,319 Speaker 4: So it's just in their bank like probably not in notes, 248 00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:23,640 Speaker 4: but like see, you know, that's what he's got in 249 00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:28,600 Speaker 4: the business bank account, which is in addition to all 250 00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:32,359 Speaker 4: of the investments that that business owns Okay, And essentially 251 00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:36,200 Speaker 4: Warren's been stockpiling this for years, obviously because you can't 252 00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:38,520 Speaker 4: just save one hundred and eighty nine billion dollars in 253 00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:40,679 Speaker 4: a year. But he's been stop piling it for years, 254 00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:43,480 Speaker 4: and he's been choosing not to make massive moves in 255 00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:45,079 Speaker 4: what he has been calling. 256 00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:46,280 Speaker 2: A really overpriced market. 257 00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:51,000 Speaker 4: And now that Greg is taking over greg Able, I 258 00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:53,800 Speaker 4: was telling you about him before, everyone's asking, well, what 259 00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:54,320 Speaker 4: are you going to do? 260 00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:54,640 Speaker 2: Greg? 261 00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:56,320 Speaker 4: What are you going to do with all this cash? 262 00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:58,440 Speaker 4: Like is the business going to be investing more? You're 263 00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:01,280 Speaker 4: a literal investing company. And you got all this cash, 264 00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:03,640 Speaker 4: like that doesn't actually make a lot of sense. So 265 00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:06,640 Speaker 4: between his age and his legacy and the future of 266 00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:10,000 Speaker 4: literally one of the biggest companies in the world, everyone's watching, 267 00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:12,400 Speaker 4: or everyone in the investing world, including me, is watching. 268 00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:14,000 Speaker 4: You're probably like, I still don't care. 269 00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:17,080 Speaker 2: Be probably and that's cool.

Yeah? 338 00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:17,520 Speaker 3: Fully, maybe Beck would be like, what no, no, I 339 00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:19,640 Speaker 3: still don't have an emergency fund, which I know is 340 00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:24,160 Speaker 3: not getting this get He wins the race exactly, which 341 00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:26,320 Speaker 3: is perfect because we're talking that kind of like reminds 342 00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:28,960 Speaker 3: me of tortoise in the hair, which I would think 343 00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:32,080 Speaker 3: Warren Buffett is like the tortoise in this situation, like. 344 00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:32,800 Speaker 2: All of his movies. 345 00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:35,400 Speaker 4: At ninety four, I feel like he's giving tortoise vibes 346 00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:37,560 Speaker 4: totally totally because he's. 347 00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:40,360 Speaker 3: Like, you know, not doing making big moves, risky moves. 348 00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:42,800 Speaker 3: It sounds like it's just all kind of like boring 349 00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:46,320 Speaker 3: and whatever. But what can we learn from him. 350 00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:49,440 Speaker 2: We can learn from his love of compound interest. 351 00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:49,800 Speaker 3: Ha. 352 00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:53,040 Speaker 4: So the money that your money makes makes money. And 353 00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:56,720 Speaker 4: given his ninety four he is one of the greatest 354 00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:59,880 Speaker 4: living examples of the effect of compound interest. I have 355 00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:02,880 Speaker 4: spoken about compound interest time and time again. I think 356 00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:05,520 Speaker 4: it is the sexiest thing in the entire world. Essentially, 357 00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:09,880 Speaker 4: compound interest is the interest that your money earns making 358 00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:13,280 Speaker 4: money for you. So your money is making money, and 359 00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:15,040 Speaker 4: then that money is free money. And Beck, we love 360 00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:17,440 Speaker 4: free money. Love free money, we love free money. So 361 00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:19,000 Speaker 4: you earn money, and. 362 00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:20,840 Speaker 2: Like, I'm just trying to double down, but like. 363 00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:24,080 Speaker 4: You earn money on the original amount, and the next 364 00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:27,440 Speaker 4: time that original amount plus the money you earned is invested, 365 00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:29,840 Speaker 4: and so it just gets bigger and bigger over time. 366 00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:32,480 Speaker 4: And that might not feel very powerful after one year, 367 00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:36,400 Speaker 4: but after ten years, your money will have more than doubled. 368 00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:40,000 Speaker 4: Like your six hundred dollars, Beck, if you did not 369 00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:44,960 Speaker 4: invest another dollar based on current market returns, nine point 370 00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:46,760 Speaker 4: four years is what it's going to take to be 371 00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:49,920 Speaker 4: twelve hundred bucks. WHOA, that's so crazy, isn't that kind 372 00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:50,200 Speaker 4: of cool? 373 00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:51,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, that is really cool. 374 00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:55,920 Speaker 4: So in his autobiography, which obviously I'm quite a fan of, Beck, 375 00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:59,760 Speaker 4: I wouldn't recommend it, okay unless you're me, ah, I see, 376 00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:02,679 Speaker 4: just feel like if I made a book recommendation for you, 377 00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:06,680 Speaker 4: it wouldn't be that one. But in his autobiography, Warren 378 00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:11,080 Speaker 4: actually explains it as like a snowball rolling down a hill, 379 00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:13,879 Speaker 4: picking up more and more snow as it gains momentum, 380 00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:16,280 Speaker 4: until it becomes a massive snowball. And I feel like 381 00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:19,520 Speaker 4: we can all understand that. And we also learned in 382 00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:23,880 Speaker 4: that autobiography that he actually, and this is deeply unrelatable, 383 00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:28,240 Speaker 4: he started investing at eleven years old, and he also 384 00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:30,199 Speaker 4: said he wished he started sooner. 385 00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:33,640 Speaker 2: That is, who what where does an eleven year old? 386 00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:36,240 Speaker 2: You know what? I wouldn't be surprised if he's a 387 00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:39,280 Speaker 2: neurospicy friend. Yeah, that sounds about right. 388 00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:43,400 Speaker 4: Some of us like trains, He likes con found interests. Yeah, 389 00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:45,320 Speaker 4: and from a very young age. I think he has 390 00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:48,440 Speaker 4: been hyper fixated on this. I see imagine being like, oh, 391 00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:50,480 Speaker 4: I started investing at eleven. 392 00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:53,720 Speaker 2: That's wish I'd done it earlier. Like I can't z 393 00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:55,120 Speaker 2: can't believe I was in. 394 00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:59,080 Speaker 4: Prep, can't believe I was wasting time doing finger painting. 395 00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:01,760 Speaker 2: I know that's is it even legal at eleven? As 396 00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:03,680 Speaker 2: like saying I started driving when I was eleven. I 397 00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:05,800 Speaker 2: wish I did it earlier, but like, are you even 398 00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:08,000 Speaker 2: allowed to at that point? How does he have money? 399 00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:08,720 Speaker 2: Was heney? 400 00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:11,879 Speaker 4: You'd have a number of questions. But I guess it 401 00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:14,720 Speaker 4: doesn't mean you had to be a stock prodigy in 402 00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:19,280 Speaker 4: primary school, yes, to start building wealth, because like, that's good, 403 00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:22,920 Speaker 4: you're starting now and you're going to be so financially secure. 404 00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:25,639 Speaker 4: It kind of just highlights the power of starting early 405 00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:28,639 Speaker 4: and getting in as soon as you can, and that 406 00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:32,960 Speaker 4: from small things, big things literally can grow. And the 407 00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:34,919 Speaker 4: more time your money has to grow, the more of 408 00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:36,720 Speaker 4: it there is going to be. So I guess it's 409 00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:40,000 Speaker 4: just let's not put so much pressure on ourselves that 410 00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:44,159 Speaker 4: we are expected to invest at eleven, but let's maybe 411 00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:47,679 Speaker 4: remember or use it as a little reminder that starting sooner, 412 00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:50,560 Speaker 4: even with small, tiny amounts, is going to give you 413 00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:55,000 Speaker 4: a massive head start thanks to compound interest. Okay, I 414 00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:59,080 Speaker 4: mean he started investing at eleven, beck, Yes, he had 415 00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:04,040 Speaker 4: his first million dollars by thirty two. Oh okay, okay, okay, 416 00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:06,680 Speaker 4: So it wasn't like a millionaire by twelve. Yeah, yeah, yeah, 417 00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:08,199 Speaker 4: which I feel like a lot of people are like, 418 00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:09,280 Speaker 4: this guy's a prodigy. 419 00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:11,760 Speaker 2: He was probably like twenty one. No, he was thirty two. 420 00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:16,840 Speaker 4: I mean that's still deeply unrelatable, especially right now. But yeah, 421 00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:19,359 Speaker 4: that's like our age, very very cool, And a vast 422 00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:22,840 Speaker 4: majority of his estimated like one hundred and fifty billion 423 00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:26,919 Speaker 4: dollars of wealth was actually accumulated after he turned fifty. 424 00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:31,119 Speaker 4: Oh compound interest though, yeah, okay, this is seventy. 425 00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:32,760 Speaker 2: Five billion dollars. That's a lot of money. 426 00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:35,120 Speaker 4: But if he didn't invest another dollar in, just kept 427 00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:38,719 Speaker 4: letting it tick over another ten years, that becomes one 428 00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:42,600 Speaker 4: hundred and fifty billion dollars. Why because like the same 429 00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:45,000 Speaker 4: thing happens. It's like, you know, using your example of 430 00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:47,560 Speaker 4: your six hundred and it being twelve hundred and ten years, 431 00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:51,480 Speaker 4: that's so sexy, but like same amount of growth happens 432 00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:54,479 Speaker 4: on a larger scale. So for him having you know, 433 00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:57,360 Speaker 4: a couple of billion dollars, that's double. 434 00:20:57,760 --> 00:20:59,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, isn't that kind of crazy? That is crazy. 435 00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:05,040 Speaker 4: So in America, CNBC, which is like a network over there, 436 00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:08,439 Speaker 4: they did a really interesting comparison between Warren Buffett and 437 00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:11,760 Speaker 4: a guy called Jim Simon's and over his investing life, 438 00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:14,480 Speaker 4: which started, as I said before, when he was just 439 00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:20,400 Speaker 4: eleven and stretched into his literal nineties. Buffet's average returns, 440 00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:23,840 Speaker 4: according to them, was twenty two percent. Well, so like 441 00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:29,280 Speaker 4: literally more than doubling what we use as an expected 442 00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:31,359 Speaker 4: market return every single year. 443 00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:33,879 Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, that's really good. 444 00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:37,240 Speaker 4: But we look at Jim Simon's, who's also often referred 445 00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:40,960 Speaker 4: to as like a ridiculously successful investor, if not one 446 00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:43,520 Speaker 4: of the biggest and best investors in the world as well, 447 00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:45,960 Speaker 4: but lesser known. I think because he's been around for 448 00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:49,679 Speaker 4: less time. Sure, Jim's investment return back every year of 449 00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:52,640 Speaker 4: his life sixty six percent per year. 450 00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:53,560 Speaker 2: How does he do that? 451 00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:53,800 Speaker 4: Well? 452 00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:56,680 Speaker 2: I know that, So do you think's worth more money? 453 00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:02,160 Speaker 3: Well, because maybe it's a true question because twenty percent 454 00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:05,679 Speaker 3: the sixty six percent, obviously, But then he hasn't been 455 00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:07,440 Speaker 3: around very long, exactly. 456 00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:09,879 Speaker 2: I still actually I'm just I'm going to say, Jim, no, 457 00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:10,240 Speaker 2: it's not. 458 00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:10,719 Speaker 3: Jim. 459 00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:14,239 Speaker 4: Worn still runs rings around him because even though, like 460 00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:17,440 Speaker 4: Simon's has had high return, he didn't start investing seriously 461 00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:21,320 Speaker 4: until it was like fifty and Worn has had decades 462 00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:24,320 Speaker 4: of compound interest on your side. She was kind of 463 00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:27,960 Speaker 4: disposed to prove that the best asset isn't actually finding 464 00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:31,280 Speaker 4: super high returns, it's giving your money time to grow time. 465 00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:33,520 Speaker 2: And I find that so exciting. 466 00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:36,000 Speaker 4: But at the same time, it's literally what we preach 467 00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:38,040 Speaker 4: on cheese on the money, Slow and steady wins the race. 468 00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:41,200 Speaker 4: You use the example before Beck of the tortoise and 469 00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:44,160 Speaker 4: the hair, and like we're looking at Jim going, oh 470 00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:48,040 Speaker 4: my god, what a good hair. But like slow and steady, 471 00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:51,640 Speaker 4: he's just essentially hocking cash back there. 472 00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:54,480 Speaker 2: Okay, Well, honestly, a part of me is quite comforted by. 473 00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:56,640 Speaker 4: The fact that it's it's just slow and steady winslow 474 00:22:56,680 --> 00:23:01,679 Speaker 4: and steady. So obviously, starting early, worn this massive edge. 475 00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:05,399 Speaker 4: I need to like what the brick he's investing in 476 00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:07,560 Speaker 4: it at eleven though, Yeah, like what are you picking? 477 00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:08,040 Speaker 2: Right? 478 00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:12,280 Speaker 4: So when he was eleven, he bought three shares in 479 00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:17,879 Speaker 4: a natural gas company that didn't exist anymore called City Services, 480 00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:23,639 Speaker 4: and he paid, according to research, thirty eight dollars per share. 481 00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:27,760 Speaker 4: He watched it drop, he panicked, he sold it it 482 00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:30,720 Speaker 4: forty dollars to make a profit, and then he watched 483 00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:33,240 Speaker 4: it shoot up way higher than he'd sold it for. 484 00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:34,920 Speaker 2: And it's the problem. 485 00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:37,959 Speaker 4: Yeah, that moment really stuck with him, Like he you know, 486 00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:40,760 Speaker 4: talks about it in his memoir and he's like, you know, 487 00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:43,480 Speaker 4: I bought this company and then I watched it drop 488 00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:45,600 Speaker 4: and I freaked out. It's like what we talk about. 489 00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:47,880 Speaker 4: You know, you see the market drop and you kind 490 00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:49,960 Speaker 4: of get that pit in your stomach. Yeah, that's where 491 00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:52,160 Speaker 4: he started to I mean, he did do it at eleven, 492 00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:55,359 Speaker 4: which is unrelatable, but it's a good story nonetheless, but 493 00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:58,240 Speaker 4: that moment really stuck with him, and it taught him 494 00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:01,199 Speaker 4: that trying to time the market and guessing when to 495 00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:03,639 Speaker 4: jump in and when to sell was gamble and that 496 00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:05,800 Speaker 4: was a terrible thing to do. He's like, I'm never 497 00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:08,679 Speaker 4: doing that again. So instead of playing that game, he 498 00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:12,800 Speaker 4: changed his strategy. Again, we're talking about an eleven year old. 499 00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:17,040 Speaker 4: He started to focus on buying really great companies and 500 00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:19,399 Speaker 4: then just holding onto them for the long term. He 501 00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:20,840 Speaker 4: was like, I'm just going to be a buy and 502 00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:24,200 Speaker 4: hold man. I'm just going to buy good stuff, hold 503 00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:26,720 Speaker 4: it for the long term, hope it, you know, gives 504 00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:30,800 Speaker 4: me good dividends and consistent capital growth. And in his 505 00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:34,840 Speaker 4: nineteen eighty eight Berkshire Hathaway shareholder letter that he sends 506 00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:36,760 Speaker 4: out every year, by the way, that's a letter. 507 00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:38,320 Speaker 2: Wow, do you get that? Yes? 508 00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:42,560 Speaker 4: I do, you do, just as a shareholder. You just 509 00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:44,600 Speaker 4: get the letter. But did you know so you know, 510 00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:46,440 Speaker 4: I said I wanted to go to their AGM. Yeah, 511 00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:48,360 Speaker 4: you actually have to apply to go to their AGM 512 00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:50,320 Speaker 4: because there's so many people like me who would be 513 00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:51,840 Speaker 4: like frothing to go. 514 00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:53,800 Speaker 2: But it's kind of like a ballot. 515 00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:58,639 Speaker 5: You have to like Meredith, Yes I'm doing You're going 516 00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:00,560 Speaker 5: to Meredith, and I'm going to Berkshire Hath the way. 517 00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:04,560 Speaker 2: It's far more unlikely that I'll get in. But that's okay. 518 00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:07,840 Speaker 4: But he said in that letter that our favorite holding 519 00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:09,359 Speaker 4: period is forever. 520 00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:12,400 Speaker 2: Good good, good good from him, right, So like. 521 00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:15,480 Speaker 4: His friend was, if I'm going to invest in something, 522 00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:18,240 Speaker 4: I'm going to do all of the research, all of 523 00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:20,919 Speaker 4: the analysis. I'm gonna buy it, never gonna sell it. 524 00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:22,240 Speaker 2: That's his strategy. 525 00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:25,240 Speaker 3: Okay, okay, okay, will you ever enjoy the fruits of 526 00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:25,800 Speaker 3: your labor? 527 00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:28,480 Speaker 4: I mean maybe once he's ninety four and he's going 528 00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:30,159 Speaker 4: to reach to ninety four. Yeah, maybe he's going to 529 00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:30,720 Speaker 4: the Bahamas. 530 00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:31,600 Speaker 2: We don't know. We don't know. 531 00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:34,320 Speaker 3: So how does he actually like Pickle to invest in 532 00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:36,639 Speaker 3: because he's you know, picking random things like I'll just 533 00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:38,640 Speaker 3: hold this forever. Or is there like a secret formula 534 00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:41,120 Speaker 3: or do you have like billionaire instincts. 535 00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:43,560 Speaker 2: I think he has billionaire instincts actually, and that's the 536 00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:44,440 Speaker 2: end of the podcast. 537 00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:45,040 Speaker 5: That's it. 538 00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:46,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, well that's. 539 00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:50,240 Speaker 4: He actually once said never invest in businesses you can't understand, 540 00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:52,760 Speaker 4: which I think is really cool. And that's why I'm 541 00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:54,680 Speaker 4: always like, do your own research understand. 542 00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:55,280 Speaker 2: And I know that. 543 00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:57,240 Speaker 4: Do you know what I hate when people say and 544 00:25:57,320 --> 00:25:59,520 Speaker 4: I say, go do your own research back? 545 00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:01,480 Speaker 2: What the hell does that mean? Am I meant to 546 00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:03,000 Speaker 2: google it? Am I meant to look it up? 547 00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:03,359 Speaker 3: Yeah? 548 00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:05,440 Speaker 2: But I want you to go, Okay, if I'm buying. 549 00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:08,040 Speaker 4: Apple, yeah, you kind of know what Apple is, so 550 00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:10,840 Speaker 4: you know it like sells iPhones and laptops and whatnot, 551 00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:14,520 Speaker 4: but like read more information about well why are they 552 00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:17,720 Speaker 4: so impressive? What is their technology? Where are they made 553 00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:20,920 Speaker 4: all of that stuff? You want to deeply understand. If 554 00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:24,399 Speaker 4: Warren can't understand how the business makes money in a 555 00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:27,240 Speaker 4: sentence or two, he will not touch it. It doesn't 556 00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:29,600 Speaker 4: matter how much hype there is, it doesn't matter what's 557 00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:31,680 Speaker 4: going on in the market, it doesn't matter how much 558 00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:34,800 Speaker 4: money people are making. He's like, Eh, that's not worth 559 00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:39,440 Speaker 4: it to me. Like he is arguably a very simple investor. 560 00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:41,600 Speaker 4: He's like, if I don't get it, I'm not investing. 561 00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:44,520 Speaker 4: So instead of chasing the next big thing, like lots 562 00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:46,439 Speaker 4: of verse often want to, because we're like, oh, but 563 00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:48,399 Speaker 4: if I invest in that make it like sixty six 564 00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:52,040 Speaker 4: percent profit. We don't want sixty six percent profit. It 565 00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:55,159 Speaker 4: does sound sexy in the short term, but like that's unsustainable. 566 00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:57,440 Speaker 4: Then you're chasing the next big high and you kind 567 00:26:57,440 --> 00:27:01,040 Speaker 4: of become like a drug addict version of it in stuff, right, 568 00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:03,200 Speaker 4: And that's not cool because we don't want to chase 569 00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:05,760 Speaker 4: the next big high. So instead of you know, chasing 570 00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:08,639 Speaker 4: the next big tech company or getting sucked into stuff. 571 00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:11,960 Speaker 4: You know that he doesn't really fully comprehend like crypto 572 00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:16,000 Speaker 4: or maybe AI, where he's like, I can't fully explain 573 00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:18,800 Speaker 4: this in a sentence or too, and while it sounds impressive, 574 00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:21,720 Speaker 4: like a lot of it eludes me, I'm not that 575 00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:25,719 Speaker 4: into it. He actually sticks with businesses that are super boring. Okay, 576 00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:29,160 Speaker 4: think the companies I was telling you about before, Coca Cola, 577 00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:34,240 Speaker 4: insurance companies, railroads, banks, all of these things that you 578 00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:35,639 Speaker 4: go is a bank sexy? 579 00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:37,840 Speaker 2: No? No, But if you look. 580 00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:40,200 Speaker 4: At you know, for example, here in Australia, I always 581 00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:44,959 Speaker 4: use the example of NAB. They've never not paid their dividends. Yeah, 582 00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:47,960 Speaker 4: like they are always paying their investors. That's low key, 583 00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:49,440 Speaker 4: very sexy. 584 00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:49,680 Speaker 2: Love, very cool. 585 00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:54,280 Speaker 3: So you would say, like if you understand it, then cool, 586 00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:59,639 Speaker 3: But like when is it understandable completely clear? I understand this, 587 00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:02,000 Speaker 3: but it's not worth investing. How does he know it's 588 00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:03,199 Speaker 3: worth investing in it? 589 00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:04,879 Speaker 2: So he has a little bit of a strategy. 590 00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:07,160 Speaker 4: And the next thing he looks at, and he's said 591 00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:10,360 Speaker 4: publicly before, is whether it's a great business. 592 00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:11,720 Speaker 2: He doesn't just want a good business. 593 00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:14,280 Speaker 4: He wants a great business to invest in, not just 594 00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:18,000 Speaker 4: an okay one. And for Warren that means that there's 595 00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:20,639 Speaker 4: a few specific things he's looking at. So the first 596 00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:24,640 Speaker 4: one is it needs to be profitable and consistent. So 597 00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:27,800 Speaker 4: Buffett looks at business as with a really strong track record, 598 00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:31,119 Speaker 4: so like companies that are consistently making money, and not 599 00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:33,720 Speaker 4: ones that are relying on trends or hypes or like 600 00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:36,480 Speaker 4: a lucky quarter or like the La Booboo company. 601 00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:37,560 Speaker 2: Ah, La boo boo. 602 00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:40,840 Speaker 4: Right, I don't want to talk about La Boo boos anymore, 603 00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:44,800 Speaker 4: but like that company, right, worth so much money. He's 604 00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:48,200 Speaker 4: made billions out of that, But that doesn't mean it's sustainable, 605 00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:53,680 Speaker 4: because how long until people don't give two flying hbout 606 00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:54,280 Speaker 4: a laboobo? 607 00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:55,560 Speaker 2: But do you know what I mean? 608 00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:58,600 Speaker 4: Yeah, like the La Boo boo is a trend. Yeah, yes, 609 00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:00,680 Speaker 4: he's made billions. If you look at all of the 610 00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:04,400 Speaker 4: investing information about that, that company is skyrocketing. 611 00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:08,239 Speaker 2: That's crazy. Go invest in PopMart. Okay, don't don't go 612 00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:10,280 Speaker 2: invest in PopMart. I do it for like a week. 613 00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:12,120 Speaker 4: But like, when do you get out? How do you 614 00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:14,040 Speaker 4: know when to get out? Are you're going to kick 615 00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:16,120 Speaker 4: yourself if you get in? And then you know, they 616 00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:18,920 Speaker 4: invent the labuobuo two point zero and it triples again? 617 00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:21,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, how do you know when to leave? Never? You 618 00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:22,600 Speaker 2: never leave exactly. 619 00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:26,440 Speaker 4: So Warren's strategy was, like the best investing term is forever. Yeah, 620 00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:28,800 Speaker 4: So are you going to own the labuboo company forever back? 621 00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:30,600 Speaker 2: Yeah? True? Maybe not. Don't want that. 622 00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:32,400 Speaker 4: No, I'm going to go get boring one. I'm going 623 00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:35,000 Speaker 4: to invest in a railroad or a toll way or 624 00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:35,720 Speaker 4: maybe or something that. 625 00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:40,000 Speaker 2: Bank or something like Toyota. Yeah yeah, great, like yeah, okay. 626 00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:43,160 Speaker 4: He wants it to just be profitable and consistent because 627 00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:45,800 Speaker 4: The next thing, he says, it needs to be strong. 628 00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:49,520 Speaker 4: So that means that the business has something really solid 629 00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:52,840 Speaker 4: going for it, like a great brand like Toyota, or 630 00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:57,880 Speaker 4: loyal customers, or maybe products that people have to use 631 00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:01,280 Speaker 4: every single day. Yes, so it's harder to compete with 632 00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:04,680 Speaker 4: businesses that already have a really strong position, like and 633 00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:07,280 Speaker 4: I think of companies like I need to use deotoring 634 00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:10,360 Speaker 4: every day. Back Rex owner, where's that gonna go? 635 00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:12,040 Speaker 2: Yeah? That's the true, do you know what I mean? 636 00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:14,000 Speaker 4: We're not talking and I'm not saying that these are 637 00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:16,480 Speaker 4: like things you should invest in, but we are talking 638 00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:20,360 Speaker 4: every day essentials that you know, people are going to 639 00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:22,880 Speaker 4: buy it, and even if it's not the best thing 640 00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:25,600 Speaker 4: on the market, like so many different things are going 641 00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:27,800 Speaker 4: to come up, it's got such a big brand, people 642 00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:30,000 Speaker 4: are always going to fall back to it, right, Yeah, 643 00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:31,800 Speaker 4: Like you might buy it because you're like, oh, that's 644 00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:34,520 Speaker 4: a good brand and it's on special this week. I'm 645 00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:37,440 Speaker 4: just consistently okay with that brand. 646 00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:37,760 Speaker 2: Right. 647 00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:40,960 Speaker 4: And then so he said it needs to be profitable 648 00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:42,920 Speaker 4: and consistent. The second thing I said, it needs to 649 00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:45,480 Speaker 4: be strong. And then the third thing is it needs 650 00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:48,200 Speaker 4: to be reasonably priced. We don't ever pay for things. 651 00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:49,280 Speaker 2: Absolutely not. 652 00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:53,160 Speaker 4: Warren would never overpay for something, even if he's obsessed 653 00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:54,880 Speaker 4: with a business like he loves it, He's like this 654 00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:59,000 Speaker 4: is so good. He will not overpay for it. He's 655 00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:03,719 Speaker 4: known for crucking companies for ten, twenty thirty years before 656 00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:05,480 Speaker 4: he will invest in it because he's like, that's not 657 00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:08,560 Speaker 4: worth it, that is not worth it. Buffett actually waits 658 00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:10,320 Speaker 4: for the price to come down to a level that 659 00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:12,880 Speaker 4: he thinks he's getting really good value, and then he 660 00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:14,720 Speaker 4: buys and then he holds it forever. 661 00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:17,440 Speaker 3: That's a fantastic point because right now I'd be like, 662 00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:19,320 Speaker 3: I'm going to go invest in Rex soona, I don't 663 00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:20,080 Speaker 3: know what it was before. 664 00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:22,160 Speaker 2: I'm not bothering to check. I'm just going to buy 665 00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:25,840 Speaker 2: it right now. But if you wait, you watch he does, 666 00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:26,560 Speaker 2: and he waits. 667 00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:29,400 Speaker 4: Then he watches, like to a point where I would 668 00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:32,760 Speaker 4: have gotten bored, like I'm not committed like he is. 669 00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:37,240 Speaker 4: And that's why Warren is known as a very good 670 00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:41,640 Speaker 4: value investor. So he's built his entire fortune on what 671 00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:44,240 Speaker 4: people call a very boring stock strategy. 672 00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:47,160 Speaker 2: Boring, boring, boring. 673 00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:50,840 Speaker 4: Wow, this is like he's not chasing shiny things. But 674 00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:53,640 Speaker 4: he's not jumping on whatever trends or la boo boo 675 00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:54,800 Speaker 4: is going on. 676 00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:55,880 Speaker 2: He is not. 677 00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:58,920 Speaker 4: Trading every time the market wobbles. He's just going, all right, 678 00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:02,240 Speaker 4: well we're here, going to stick it out. He's investing 679 00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:05,120 Speaker 4: in companies that are stable, that are predictable, and that 680 00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:12,240 Speaker 4: make money stuff like banks, railroads, food companies, insurance, Coca Cola. 681 00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:15,160 Speaker 2: We're all ordering coke. Oh yeah, you know what I mean. 682 00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:18,720 Speaker 2: We go out of fashion exactly like tried true test it. 683 00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:21,600 Speaker 4: He's not going to sell those shares things that people, 684 00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:23,920 Speaker 4: no matter what's going on in the economy, are going 685 00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:24,720 Speaker 4: to continue to buy. 686 00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:28,520 Speaker 3: It's very company too, that this doesn't like empty light, 687 00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:31,400 Speaker 3: Like it doesn't take an excessive amount of money or 688 00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:34,000 Speaker 3: an excessive amount of Like not to say that he's 689 00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:36,760 Speaker 3: not intelligent, but like you don't need but like that's. 690 00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:37,600 Speaker 2: The killerst thing, right. 691 00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:39,720 Speaker 4: I think when you start talking about, you know, the 692 00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:43,400 Speaker 4: world's best investor, you go, oh, you must be so intelligent. 693 00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:46,640 Speaker 4: Like he clearly is very intelligent. I'm not downplaying that 694 00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:50,200 Speaker 4: at all. But his strategy, it's not you can replicate it. 695 00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:52,800 Speaker 4: The everyday person can replicate it and go okay, cool. 696 00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:54,720 Speaker 4: So instead of getting caught up in trends. Maybe I'm 697 00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:57,400 Speaker 4: just going to buy blue chip stocks. Maybe I'm going 698 00:32:57,480 --> 00:32:58,920 Speaker 4: to go look at a bank. Maybe I'm going to 699 00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:01,400 Speaker 4: go look at things like Coke Cola or Apple, like 700 00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:05,200 Speaker 4: we just know they're not going anywhere. Like I'm a 701 00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:09,600 Speaker 4: consistent girlie. I just want the boring, the standard. I 702 00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:12,960 Speaker 4: just want to be wealthy once I retire. And I 703 00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:16,840 Speaker 4: guess the idea behind value investing, which is not going 704 00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:18,480 Speaker 4: to come as a surprise to you, Beack that I'm 705 00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:20,920 Speaker 4: a value investor because I don't want to be trading 706 00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:21,480 Speaker 4: all the time. 707 00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:22,520 Speaker 2: What's value investing? 708 00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:25,720 Speaker 4: So value investing is really simple. You're looking for businesses 709 00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:28,120 Speaker 4: that are worth more than what they're selling for, and 710 00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:31,760 Speaker 4: you're buying and you're holding forever. It's essentially what Warren's doing. 711 00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:33,680 Speaker 2: Oh yes, yes, okay, I see what you're saying. You 712 00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:35,800 Speaker 2: just want good value, like you've got a good deal 713 00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:36,960 Speaker 2: and then you're going to use it forever. 714 00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:40,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, oh okay, and kind of like put like notification 715 00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:42,360 Speaker 3: on on Chazy's. 716 00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:45,280 Speaker 4: You can you can you can also like track something 717 00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:47,680 Speaker 4: and go, well, I'm happy to buy that share once 718 00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:50,440 Speaker 4: it drops to twenty bucks and you can essentially put 719 00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:52,640 Speaker 4: in a trade that says, once that share drops to 720 00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:55,400 Speaker 4: twenty bucks, automatically buy it for me, so you can 721 00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:57,480 Speaker 4: kind of set and forget your investment strategy. 722 00:33:57,560 --> 00:33:58,240 Speaker 2: That is really good. 723 00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:00,400 Speaker 4: It's kind of like you and I both love thrift, 724 00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:02,560 Speaker 4: like we both love an opshop. It's kind of like 725 00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:05,600 Speaker 4: spotting a five hundred dollars bag at the op shop 726 00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:08,280 Speaker 4: for twenty bucks, and you know it's really high quality 727 00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:10,640 Speaker 4: and you're getting it for way less than it's really worth. 728 00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:11,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, and that. 729 00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:15,319 Speaker 4: Exactly, but like you buy it not to resell it. 730 00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:17,000 Speaker 4: You go, oh my god, Like it's such a good 731 00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:19,040 Speaker 4: quality about I'm going to use this for years, Like 732 00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:21,640 Speaker 4: I feel like I've won the lottery, Like I didn't 733 00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:23,600 Speaker 4: have to spend five hundred bucks, which I never would 734 00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:25,279 Speaker 4: have done. I'm going to spend twenty bucks on this. 735 00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:27,799 Speaker 4: I'm gonna have this when I'm sixty, Like this is 736 00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:31,520 Speaker 4: so good, Like it feels comfortable, but also you feel 737 00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:32,240 Speaker 4: like you've gotten. 738 00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:32,520 Speaker 2: A good deal. 739 00:34:32,640 --> 00:34:36,280 Speaker 4: Right. He essentially does exactly the same thing. He finds 740 00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:40,799 Speaker 4: really undervalued companies, buys them, holds them sometimes forever. It's 741 00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:43,320 Speaker 4: massive newsback. If he sells a company like if he 742 00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:48,520 Speaker 4: sells a company, the stock market goes berserk because that's crazy. 743 00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:51,240 Speaker 3: It'd be so sad if you were like a random 744 00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:52,360 Speaker 3: company that he's been invested. 745 00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:53,560 Speaker 2: H he's just putting in the bin. 746 00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:56,400 Speaker 3: And then everyone else would because I would assume you're 747 00:34:56,440 --> 00:34:59,000 Speaker 3: kind of following his lead exactly. And as you said before, 748 00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:01,960 Speaker 3: like I think the best part about this strategy is 749 00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:05,560 Speaker 3: literally anyone can do it. Like you want to start 750 00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:08,880 Speaker 3: on shares's with a dollar, you can? You got fifty bucks, 751 00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:11,960 Speaker 3: you can. Like this is of you one a massive 752 00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:15,280 Speaker 3: investment strategy that you know you need tens of thousands 753 00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:16,320 Speaker 3: of dollars to start. 754 00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:19,319 Speaker 2: So can you give me an example of when or 755 00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:20,879 Speaker 2: how he knows when to buy? 756 00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:24,080 Speaker 4: Yeah, good question. So let's talk about Coca Cola because 757 00:35:24,120 --> 00:35:27,120 Speaker 4: we're talking about that one. Before he started buying shares 758 00:35:27,160 --> 00:35:31,080 Speaker 4: in Coke in nineteen eighty eight, right after a major 759 00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:34,360 Speaker 4: crash in the market, when everyone else was panicking in selling, 760 00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:36,279 Speaker 4: he was like, oh, this looks like a good time 761 00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:38,719 Speaker 4: to buy. And he saw Coke as kind of like 762 00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:42,319 Speaker 4: a really strong global brand that wasn't going anywhere. He 763 00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:44,160 Speaker 4: said what you said, He was like, everyone's going to 764 00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:48,600 Speaker 4: drink Coke forever. Yeah, like what and he invested get 765 00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:52,560 Speaker 4: this one point three billion dollars USD not Australian USD. 766 00:35:53,239 --> 00:35:57,439 Speaker 4: Then decades later, Berkshire Hathaway still holds that investment. Guess 767 00:35:57,440 --> 00:36:03,520 Speaker 4: how much it's worth. No, twenty five billion dollars and 768 00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:05,960 Speaker 4: that's not even counting all the dividends that have been 769 00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:07,799 Speaker 4: paid to them over that period of time. 770 00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:09,960 Speaker 2: He didn't buy it to flip it. He bought it 771 00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:11,080 Speaker 2: so that he could hold it. 772 00:36:11,239 --> 00:36:14,319 Speaker 4: Literally forever, because he, like you and I, believe in 773 00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:17,560 Speaker 4: the business. Yeah, not a buzz and we're like every 774 00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:22,160 Speaker 4: pub is going to sell Coke. McDonald's sells. Coke's going nowhere. 775 00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:24,160 Speaker 2: You know. Yeah, I don't know if. 776 00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:27,960 Speaker 3: I would ever trusted enough to put one point three billion, 777 00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:28,239 Speaker 3: but he did. 778 00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:31,000 Speaker 4: They don't even have that amount, so it's not actually 779 00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:33,000 Speaker 4: an option for me. But I can see where he's 780 00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:33,520 Speaker 4: going with that. 781 00:36:33,840 --> 00:36:34,560 Speaker 2: That's incredible. 782 00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:36,799 Speaker 3: Well good on him, I actually, I mean, if you 783 00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:39,320 Speaker 3: have it, I would trust that Coca Cola would be 784 00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:42,440 Speaker 3: around forever. So he he kind of like, you know, 785 00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:44,759 Speaker 3: he sees the reliable companies, the strong companies. 786 00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:47,960 Speaker 2: What about companies that like haven't even hit the market. 787 00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:49,839 Speaker 2: Yet like they're just hitting the mark for the first time. 788 00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:52,920 Speaker 4: Yeah, and we've done like a whole episode on IPOs. 789 00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:55,359 Speaker 4: So an IPO is an initial public offering, and that's 790 00:36:55,400 --> 00:36:58,000 Speaker 4: when a company like hits the market for the very 791 00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:00,279 Speaker 4: first time and there's massive hype around it, right because 792 00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:02,000 Speaker 4: like you know, if it's company you and I have 793 00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:04,640 Speaker 4: bought and it's always been private, now it's public, we 794 00:37:04,719 --> 00:37:06,640 Speaker 4: get really excited. We're like, oh my god, like I 795 00:37:06,719 --> 00:37:09,080 Speaker 4: can't believe that, you know, this brand is going to 796 00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:11,239 Speaker 4: be available for us to buyers consumers. 797 00:37:11,320 --> 00:37:11,960 Speaker 2: How exciting. 798 00:37:12,239 --> 00:37:16,320 Speaker 4: But Buffett he's like, Nah, screw IPOs, that's silly. Oh 799 00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:18,879 Speaker 4: he doesn't like them at all. Like he's famously known 800 00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:20,960 Speaker 4: for being like, I am not going to do that. 801 00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:23,279 Speaker 4: In fact, if it hits the market and I'm a 802 00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:26,240 Speaker 4: good investor, I'll just watch how it's going. I'll invest 803 00:37:26,239 --> 00:37:29,560 Speaker 4: in them later. Thanks, though, Well, like he literally doesn't care, 804 00:37:29,719 --> 00:37:34,160 Speaker 4: and he literally just thinks that it's silly to do that, 805 00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:35,759 Speaker 4: Like he's like, I'm not going to take a risk. 806 00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:37,759 Speaker 4: That's too much of a risk. And for years he's 807 00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:41,040 Speaker 4: pretty much said I avoid them completely entirely, Like I'm 808 00:37:41,080 --> 00:37:43,760 Speaker 4: just not playing that game. Not because IPOs are bad, 809 00:37:44,280 --> 00:37:46,960 Speaker 4: but because he thinks, and I agree with this, they 810 00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:50,120 Speaker 4: are surrounded by so much hype, Like people get so excited. 811 00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:54,320 Speaker 4: There's often inflated pricing and not good long term value 812 00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:56,000 Speaker 4: returned because you don't even know how the company is 813 00:37:56,040 --> 00:37:58,359 Speaker 4: going to do once it goes public. Right, Yeah, that 814 00:37:58,560 --> 00:38:00,960 Speaker 4: is a new iteration of the business. It's been private 815 00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:02,440 Speaker 4: for years, Like is that going to be a good 816 00:38:02,440 --> 00:38:05,520 Speaker 4: thing for the business? Sometimes it's not. And his logic 817 00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:08,240 Speaker 4: is relatively simple there. He says that when a company 818 00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:10,719 Speaker 4: launches an IPO, it's often at a price that is 819 00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:12,400 Speaker 4: best for them, not best for you. 820 00:38:12,680 --> 00:38:14,520 Speaker 2: Oh God, he's good. 821 00:38:14,440 --> 00:38:16,879 Speaker 4: But like that kind of low key makes a lot 822 00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:18,799 Speaker 4: of sense when you put it. That's yeah. 823 00:38:19,120 --> 00:38:20,799 Speaker 2: He's a hard man to intrigue, isn't he. 824 00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:23,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, he's kind of like, Oh, if they're going to 825 00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:26,640 Speaker 4: put their company on like public offering, yeah, it's going 826 00:38:26,719 --> 00:38:27,760 Speaker 4: to be for their benefit. 827 00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:29,799 Speaker 2: Otherwise why would they do it? Yeah? Yeah, you go, 828 00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:32,399 Speaker 2: well that makes sense. Shod If he was. 829 00:38:32,360 --> 00:38:34,920 Speaker 3: In my world, it would be my life's goal to 830 00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:36,000 Speaker 3: make him more impressed. 831 00:38:36,200 --> 00:38:36,480 Speaker 2: Yep. 832 00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:39,200 Speaker 4: It's literally designed according to him, and I agree with this, 833 00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:41,880 Speaker 4: but designed to make the company and its early investors 834 00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:44,800 Speaker 4: the most amount of money possible, not the person jumping 835 00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:45,400 Speaker 4: in on day. 836 00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:48,280 Speaker 2: One and hoping to get rid of and no good. 837 00:38:48,320 --> 00:38:49,680 Speaker 2: This is classic buffet. 838 00:38:49,719 --> 00:38:51,879 Speaker 4: Like he has said before, on a buy when things 839 00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:54,960 Speaker 4: are undervalued, not overhyped. So an IPO for him does 840 00:38:55,040 --> 00:38:57,319 Speaker 4: not make sense. He said, he prefers to, you know, 841 00:38:57,400 --> 00:39:00,160 Speaker 4: wait until the business has proven itself publicly before he 842 00:39:00,239 --> 00:39:03,840 Speaker 4: even considers investing in them. And there's even a quote 843 00:39:04,080 --> 00:39:07,840 Speaker 4: where he said, I don't participate in IPOs. The sellers 844 00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:10,880 Speaker 4: have the knowledge, the buyers have the need. It is 845 00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:14,759 Speaker 4: not a level playing field. He's so good, he's obviously 846 00:39:14,840 --> 00:39:16,960 Speaker 4: he's worth one hundred and fifty billion dollars, so you 847 00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:18,360 Speaker 4: know something about something. 848 00:39:18,640 --> 00:39:19,800 Speaker 2: But while other. 849 00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:22,120 Speaker 4: Investors are out there being like, oh my gosh, I'm 850 00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:24,880 Speaker 4: chasing the next unicorn. I'm going to like evaluate all 851 00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:27,160 Speaker 4: these IPOs, he's just sitting back with a coke and 852 00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:29,520 Speaker 4: he's just like waiting, He's just vibing. 853 00:39:29,880 --> 00:39:33,320 Speaker 2: He gets free cokes. Do you own that much? Surely 854 00:39:33,400 --> 00:39:36,319 Speaker 2: you get sent like slabs a free coke. I'd say so. 855 00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:38,000 Speaker 3: But also I feel like at a certain point, we 856 00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:41,480 Speaker 3: have so much money that like a coke would feel free. 857 00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:44,239 Speaker 2: It would be like, yeah, that's true. A tenth of 858 00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:46,560 Speaker 2: a cent for us, that's true. You know. 859 00:39:46,600 --> 00:39:48,640 Speaker 4: So he's just sitting back, he's holding his coke. He's 860 00:39:48,640 --> 00:39:51,120 Speaker 4: probably in a really comfy armchair, and he's like, maah, 861 00:39:51,239 --> 00:39:52,960 Speaker 4: I'm going to watch and if that company turns out 862 00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:56,200 Speaker 4: to be strong, profitable and fairly priced after the buzz 863 00:39:56,200 --> 00:39:58,360 Speaker 4: Philim dies down, then maybe I'll invest. 864 00:39:58,440 --> 00:40:02,160 Speaker 2: But it's gonna be on my term, so chill, so nonchalant. 865 00:40:02,239 --> 00:40:05,000 Speaker 4: She's like whatever, like, if it's a good company, I'll 866 00:40:05,040 --> 00:40:05,800 Speaker 4: invest later. 867 00:40:06,040 --> 00:40:06,560 Speaker 2: No worries. 868 00:40:06,680 --> 00:40:09,160 Speaker 3: He is so smart, so he invests for a living. 869 00:40:09,239 --> 00:40:11,440 Speaker 3: So he has like all this time, I would assume, 870 00:40:11,480 --> 00:40:13,880 Speaker 3: I mean his career. As his career, he like spends 871 00:40:13,880 --> 00:40:16,680 Speaker 3: time researching individual companies. But like the rest of us, 872 00:40:16,719 --> 00:40:18,680 Speaker 3: we have to do we have to do the same thing. 873 00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:19,399 Speaker 2: Well, like you. 874 00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:22,120 Speaker 4: Could like copy him, yeah okay, yeah. So like even 875 00:40:22,160 --> 00:40:25,040 Speaker 4: though he spends his entire life, literally ninety four years 876 00:40:25,040 --> 00:40:28,480 Speaker 4: of it now, researching individual companies, he's literally the first 877 00:40:28,480 --> 00:40:30,279 Speaker 4: to say that most people don't need to do that. 878 00:40:30,560 --> 00:40:32,600 Speaker 4: Do you know what his advice is, Yeah, he says, 879 00:40:32,640 --> 00:40:35,839 Speaker 4: go buy an index fund. Index fund, like an ETF. Yeah, 880 00:40:35,960 --> 00:40:37,120 Speaker 4: go do what Beck's done. 881 00:40:37,160 --> 00:40:39,400 Speaker 3: Do what I do. And he did say that as 882 00:40:39,560 --> 00:40:41,319 Speaker 3: he did do Like I called him up before and 883 00:40:41,360 --> 00:40:43,200 Speaker 3: he was like, oh have you do you know becksied 884 00:40:43,239 --> 00:40:44,560 Speaker 3: and I was like, oh, yeah, I've heard of her, 885 00:40:44,640 --> 00:40:46,799 Speaker 3: and he said, just invest like her, just copy her. 886 00:40:46,880 --> 00:40:50,640 Speaker 4: But literally he believes in them so much that in 887 00:40:50,719 --> 00:40:53,319 Speaker 4: his will he's left instructions for how his wife should 888 00:40:53,400 --> 00:40:56,560 Speaker 4: invest her inheritance when he passes, and he literally said, 889 00:40:56,719 --> 00:40:59,239 Speaker 4: put ninety percent of the money that you get from 890 00:40:59,280 --> 00:41:01,560 Speaker 4: me when I'm dead into a low cost s and 891 00:41:01,560 --> 00:41:04,120 Speaker 4: P five hundred index fund, and the other ten percent 892 00:41:04,160 --> 00:41:05,520 Speaker 4: into government bonds, full stop. 893 00:41:05,560 --> 00:41:06,080 Speaker 2: End of story. 894 00:41:06,239 --> 00:41:09,600 Speaker 4: Wow, go do that WiFi, because like this is fun 895 00:41:09,600 --> 00:41:12,080 Speaker 4: for me and I get it, but like it is 896 00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:16,040 Speaker 4: actually just not worth spending all your time and money 897 00:41:16,280 --> 00:41:17,799 Speaker 4: and energy researching. 898 00:41:17,840 --> 00:41:18,759 Speaker 2: It doesn't make sense. 899 00:41:18,840 --> 00:41:21,719 Speaker 4: So this guy could literally hand pick any stock on 900 00:41:21,760 --> 00:41:24,360 Speaker 4: the planet and he goes, you know what, you probably 901 00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:27,160 Speaker 4: should just go buy a broad market ETF. 902 00:41:27,800 --> 00:41:30,600 Speaker 2: Go get ye, get a little index fund. Beck like 903 00:41:30,760 --> 00:41:33,439 Speaker 2: track the market. Yeah yeah, yeah, But the man's not wrong. 904 00:41:33,480 --> 00:41:36,040 Speaker 4: And one of the simplest ways to access something like 905 00:41:36,080 --> 00:41:37,440 Speaker 4: that is through an ETF. 906 00:41:37,520 --> 00:41:38,960 Speaker 2: And we know all about these. 907 00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:42,560 Speaker 4: We've done an entire investing series on what an ETF is, 908 00:41:42,840 --> 00:41:44,120 Speaker 4: what is an index fund? 909 00:41:44,360 --> 00:41:46,640 Speaker 2: How do they work? Like some of them can be 910 00:41:46,719 --> 00:41:47,280 Speaker 2: like the top. 911 00:41:47,160 --> 00:41:49,520 Speaker 4: Two hundred companies in Australia or the top two hundred 912 00:41:49,520 --> 00:41:52,239 Speaker 4: companies in the world, Like you can pick anything, but 913 00:41:52,320 --> 00:41:55,160 Speaker 4: they are well diversified and honestly, they are one of 914 00:41:55,200 --> 00:41:57,400 Speaker 4: the most beginner friendly ways to follow. 915 00:41:57,440 --> 00:41:58,280 Speaker 2: Buffet's logic. 916 00:41:58,520 --> 00:42:02,239 Speaker 4: Yes easy, and he said time and time again that 917 00:42:02,320 --> 00:42:05,880 Speaker 4: most people would actually be better off completely ignoring the headlines. 918 00:42:05,920 --> 00:42:06,600 Speaker 2: Do not read the. 919 00:42:06,600 --> 00:42:08,759 Speaker 4: News, do not look at the stock market app on 920 00:42:08,800 --> 00:42:12,880 Speaker 4: your phone, ignore the hype. Just consistently invest in low 921 00:42:13,120 --> 00:42:15,920 Speaker 4: cost index funds. Just go put your money there, and 922 00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:17,080 Speaker 4: don't talk about investing. 923 00:42:17,120 --> 00:42:17,719 Speaker 2: Don't talk about it. 924 00:42:17,719 --> 00:42:19,840 Speaker 4: Don't talk about it, because it removes all of the 925 00:42:19,880 --> 00:42:22,880 Speaker 4: pressure to pick quote the right stock or the right share, 926 00:42:23,040 --> 00:42:25,480 Speaker 4: and it replaces it with something that actually works, and 927 00:42:25,520 --> 00:42:27,280 Speaker 4: that is time in the market. 928 00:42:27,320 --> 00:42:30,319 Speaker 2: Time time, time, that's literally it. Just wait. 929 00:42:30,719 --> 00:42:33,279 Speaker 4: Just imagine the biggest investor in the world being like, 930 00:42:33,800 --> 00:42:36,600 Speaker 4: don't bother honestly, like, just go buy a index fund. 931 00:42:36,800 --> 00:42:39,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I'm going to listen to that. Actually 932 00:42:39,920 --> 00:42:40,799 Speaker 2: I actually. 933 00:42:40,480 --> 00:42:43,600 Speaker 4: Do and that's why I just have I've got like 934 00:42:43,640 --> 00:42:47,560 Speaker 4: my satellite investments, but majority of my investing. 935 00:42:47,080 --> 00:42:50,920 Speaker 2: Wealth is just in ETFs. Yeah. Fair, so, I mean 936 00:42:50,960 --> 00:42:52,680 Speaker 2: I've personally taken away from a lot of this. But 937 00:42:52,760 --> 00:42:54,959 Speaker 2: let's boil it all down. What do you want everyone 938 00:42:55,000 --> 00:42:55,960 Speaker 2: to take away from the episode? 939 00:42:56,040 --> 00:42:58,439 Speaker 4: Okay, so if we want to be a big dog 940 00:42:58,520 --> 00:43:01,919 Speaker 4: investor like Warren Buffett, we can take away a few things. 941 00:43:01,960 --> 00:43:05,080 Speaker 4: So start early, Let time do the heavy lifting. No 942 00:43:05,160 --> 00:43:08,320 Speaker 4: such thing as too small of a beginning. So compound 943 00:43:08,320 --> 00:43:11,520 Speaker 4: interest is going to be your best friend. And Buffett's 944 00:43:11,560 --> 00:43:16,560 Speaker 4: whole fortune is basically a love letter to long term 945 00:43:16,600 --> 00:43:20,000 Speaker 4: investing in compound interest. The next is, don't try to 946 00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:24,280 Speaker 4: time the market like he can't. You can't, we can't. 947 00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:26,759 Speaker 4: After trying to do this, he tried to do it 948 00:43:26,800 --> 00:43:29,239 Speaker 4: at eleven and he decided, ah, that's not really for me. 949 00:43:29,640 --> 00:43:31,959 Speaker 4: He never made the same mistake again. And the goal 950 00:43:32,040 --> 00:43:34,239 Speaker 4: is to stay in, not jump in and out of 951 00:43:34,280 --> 00:43:37,040 Speaker 4: the market. Yeah, there's some research out there Beck that 952 00:43:37,120 --> 00:43:40,160 Speaker 4: says if you miss the five best days I think 953 00:43:40,200 --> 00:43:42,799 Speaker 4: it's five best days in the market because you're trying 954 00:43:42,800 --> 00:43:45,400 Speaker 4: to time the market, you will have half the wealth 955 00:43:45,400 --> 00:43:48,640 Speaker 4: that you intended to by retiring. Okay, I have good days. 956 00:43:49,280 --> 00:43:52,319 Speaker 4: You can't time the market. The next is and I 957 00:43:52,360 --> 00:43:55,239 Speaker 4: love this. Just investing what you understand. If you don't 958 00:43:55,320 --> 00:43:58,040 Speaker 4: understand it, you're not buying it. If you can't explain 959 00:43:58,160 --> 00:44:00,960 Speaker 4: how a business just makes money, you should not be 960 00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:03,120 Speaker 4: investing in it. Simplicity is power. Then we're going to 961 00:44:03,160 --> 00:44:06,920 Speaker 4: ignore the hype, he said, not worth it. IPOs absolutely not, 962 00:44:07,160 --> 00:44:09,879 Speaker 4: whether it's crypto or like hot stocks that people are 963 00:44:09,920 --> 00:44:13,080 Speaker 4: talking about. Buffet's not interested, and baby, neither are you. 964 00:44:13,239 --> 00:44:16,360 Speaker 4: He's going to wait until the hype dies down he 965 00:44:16,400 --> 00:44:19,719 Speaker 4: can see the value. He doesn't listen to headlines. And 966 00:44:19,760 --> 00:44:23,040 Speaker 4: then I've got two more points. You don't have to 967 00:44:23,120 --> 00:44:26,480 Speaker 4: pick stocks at all. Just go buy an index fund. 968 00:44:26,680 --> 00:44:30,360 Speaker 4: Easying to him, his number one recommendation for most people 969 00:44:30,680 --> 00:44:34,000 Speaker 4: is a low cost index fund. Set it, forget it, 970 00:44:34,200 --> 00:44:36,720 Speaker 4: let time do the work. I think that's very sexy. 971 00:44:36,800 --> 00:44:41,880 Speaker 4: And the last thing is control your emotions. So investing 972 00:44:41,960 --> 00:44:45,120 Speaker 4: it's not about maths. It's kind of about like mindset 973 00:44:45,560 --> 00:44:47,279 Speaker 4: and being in the right mind frame. Like he's not 974 00:44:47,320 --> 00:44:49,640 Speaker 4: getting caught up in the headlines. He's not thinking about like, 975 00:44:49,640 --> 00:44:51,759 Speaker 4: oh my goodness, what's that company going to do. Like 976 00:44:51,800 --> 00:44:55,040 Speaker 4: if he's invested for the long term, he's in the 977 00:44:55,040 --> 00:44:57,280 Speaker 4: best investors are the ones that are able to stay 978 00:44:57,280 --> 00:44:59,040 Speaker 4: calm when everyone else is panicking. 979 00:44:59,160 --> 00:45:02,319 Speaker 2: Okay, so I think breath work is the Oh yeah, 980 00:45:02,440 --> 00:45:05,680 Speaker 2: I reckon. He does a lot of meditation. He's constantly 981 00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:09,040 Speaker 2: in the moment. Yeah, exactly, get from him exactly, never 982 00:45:09,080 --> 00:45:12,200 Speaker 2: thinking you know, No, he's just a vibe. Yeah, I 983 00:45:12,239 --> 00:45:14,000 Speaker 2: love him.
