That view contrasts with the prevailing wisdom in the market, which is that&nbsp;tech-stock valuations are extreme.</p><p>“The Googles and Apples are incredible in terms of what they earn on capital,” Buffett said. “They don’t require a lot of capital, and they gush out more money.”</p><p><b>Successful stock-picking&nbsp;is actually quite hard.</b>&nbsp;Buffett put up a slide of the 20 stocks from around the world with the largest market&nbsp;capitalizations. Five of the six were U.S. companies — Apple Inc. at the top, at about $2 trillion, with&nbsp;Microsoft Corp., Amazon.com Inc., Google parent Alphabet Inc. and Facebook Inc. holding the No. 3, 4, 5 and 6 slots. (No. 2 was Saudi Aramco.)</p><p>Then Buffett&nbsp;asked the audience to think about how many of those companies they would expect to be around in 30 years — maybe five, maybe eight?&nbsp;Then he showed a slide with the same information — but from 30 years ago.&nbsp;None of the stocks from the 2021 slide were on it.</p><p>“I would guess that very few of you would have said zero, and I don’t think it will be, but it’s a reminder of what extraordinary things can happen,” he said. “The world can change in very dramatic ways.”</p><p>Even if you understand the promise of an industry — like&nbsp;the birth of the automobile — you need to choose the winner in that industry. “There’s a lot more to picking stocks than figuring out&nbsp;what’s going to be a wonderful industry in the future,” said Buffett.&nbsp;“I do not think the average person can pick stocks.”</p><p><b>Beware appeals to your gambling instinct:</b>“American corporations have turned out to be a wonderful place for people to put and save their money but they also make terrific gambling chips,”&nbsp;Buffett said.</p><p>He suspects that a lot of the short-term options trading in Apple’s stock comes from young traders on&nbsp;Robinhood, the popular trading app that’s drawn millions of rookie investors.&nbsp;Buffett isn’t saying gambling itself is shameful — he called it a “very human instinct” — but he said “I don’t think you’d build a society around doing it.”</p><p>As more people enter the casino than leave it, “it creates its own reality for a while and nobody tells you when the clock is going to strike 12 and it all turns to pumpkins and mice,”&nbsp;he said.</p><p><b>Index funds are the answer for most investors.</b>The fact that it’s so hard to predict what kind of tremendous change there will be in the world&nbsp;is a great argument for diversified index funds, Buffett said.</p><p>The billionaire has&nbsp;advised the trustee of his will that when he passes, 90% of his bequest to his wife — now in Berkshire stock — should be in a stock index fund like the S&amp;P 500, and 10% in Treasury bills.</p><p><b>Sometimes the best investment is in yourself.</b>&nbsp;Or at least, in what you know best. And no&nbsp;one knows Berkshire’s intrinsic value&nbsp;better than Buffett.</p><p>With a cash pile of more than $145 billion at the end of the 2021’s first quarter, Buffett bought back some $6.6 billion in Berkshire shares during the first quarter. The pace of buybacks has been decelerating from prior quarters, however.</p><p>Buffett used to describe share buybacks as basically an accounting gimmick, as something&nbsp;done in order to goose a stock price, and often done without enough price discipline. He’s typically wanted to deploy cash in big acquisitions or stock purchases.</p><p>But in 2018 he loosened his buyback policy as Berkshire’s cash kept growing.&nbsp;“We can’t buy companies as cheap as we buy our own and we can’t buy stocks as cheap as our own,” Buffett said.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a669da1d954bdbd212e1e46f8fe2e681\" tg-width=\"958\" tg-height=\"534\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p><p><b>Never say never.</b>Buffett stayed largely away from tech stocks for many years, saying he didn’t understand their business models.&nbsp;Now Apple&nbsp;is a huge holding — Berkshire owns just over 5%.</p><p>Even so, Buffett doesn’t describe Apple&nbsp;in tech-y terms. “I feel that I understand Apple and its future with consumers around the world,” he said.</p><p>“Apple has fantastic management — Tim Cook was under appreciated for a long time, and he has a product that people absolutely love,”&nbsp;he said. “There’s an installed base of people and they get satisfaction rates of like 99%.”</p><p><b>It’s okay to&nbsp;admit mistakes.</b>There werea lot of mea culpas at the annual meeting. Buffett admitted that it likely was a mistake to sell some Apple stock last year, and that he learned a lot of lessons from a failed healthcare venture with JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co.&nbsp;and Amazon.</p><p><b>Pick your public battles wisely.</b>Buffett has been a Bitcoin skeptic.</p><p>When asked for his views on cryptocurrency&nbsp;at the annual meeting, he dodged the question. “We’ve probably got&nbsp;hundreds of thousands of people watching this that own Bitcoin, and we’ve probably got two people that are short,” he said. “So we have a choice of making 400,000 people mad at us and unhappy, or making two people happy, and that’s just a dumb equation.”</p><p>Munger, however, let it rip. “I don't welcome currency that is so useful to kidnappers and extortionists,” he said.</p><p><b>Guard your competitive edge.</b>One questioner asked if Buffett’s famed portfolio managers at the company, Todd Combs and Ted Weschler, might have a higher public profile in the future. “They are assets of Berkshire, and there is no reason for them to be out there educating other people on how to compete with us,” he said.</p><p><b>Cultivate optimism.</b>Buffett is a pretty cheery person, often extolling the virtues of capitalism. He recommends a sort of even keel approach to life: “In 62 years, Charlie and I have never gotten into an argument, never got mad at each other,”&nbsp;Buffett said.</p><p>Studies have shown that optimists have a better quality of life than pessimists, and people high in optimism have a&nbsp;better quality of life than those less optimistic. The only problem with this observation? Charlie Munger is 97, and his world view can sometimes be bleak. But his views on Berkshire and Buffett? Very optimistic.</p>","source":"lsy1584095487587","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Warren Buffett Offers Investing Advice — and Admits His Mistakes</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nWarren Buffett Offers Investing Advice — and Admits His Mistakes\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-05-03 08:39 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-05-02/warren-buffett-tech-shares-are-bargain-stock-picking-is-hard-buy-index-funds?srnd=premium-asia><strong>Bloomberg</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>The billionaire riffed on tech shares, stock picking and his mistakes at Berkshire Hathaway’s annual meeting, but didn’t want to talk Bitcoin.Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger during the virtual ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-05-02/warren-buffett-tech-shares-are-bargain-stock-picking-is-hard-buy-index-funds?srnd=premium-asia\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"BRK.B":"伯克希尔B","BRK.A":"伯克希尔"},"source_url":"https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-05-02/warren-buffett-tech-shares-are-bargain-stock-picking-is-hard-buy-index-funds?srnd=premium-asia","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1161792033","content_text":"The billionaire riffed on tech shares, stock picking and his mistakes at Berkshire Hathaway’s annual meeting, but didn’t want to talk Bitcoin.Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger during the virtual Berkshire Hathaway annual shareholders meeting on May 1.

The pace of buybacks has been decelerating from prior quarters, however.Buffett used to describe share buybacks as basically an accounting gimmick, as something done in order to goose a stock price, and often done without enough price discipline. He’s typically wanted to deploy cash in big acquisitions or stock purchases.But in 2018 he loosened his buyback policy as Berkshire’s cash kept growing. “We can’t buy companies as cheap as we buy our own and we can’t buy stocks as cheap as our own,” Buffett said.Never say never.Buffett stayed largely away from tech stocks for many years, saying he didn’t understand their business models. Now Apple is a huge holding — Berkshire owns just over 5%.Even so, Buffett doesn’t describe Apple in tech-y terms. “I feel that I understand Apple and its future with consumers around the world,” he said.“Apple has fantastic management — Tim Cook was under appreciated for a long time, and he has a product that people absolutely love,” he said. “There’s an installed base of people and they get satisfaction rates of like 99%.”It’s okay to admit mistakes.There werea lot of mea culpas at the annual meeting. Buffett admitted that it likely was a mistake to sell some Apple stock last year, and that he learned a lot of lessons from a failed healthcare venture with JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Amazon.Pick your public battles wisely.Buffett has been a Bitcoin skeptic.When asked for his views on cryptocurrency at the annual meeting, he dodged the question. “We’ve probably got hundreds of thousands of people watching this that own Bitcoin, and we’ve probably got two people that are short,” he said. “So we have a choice of making 400,000 people mad at us and unhappy, or making two people happy, and that’s just a dumb equation.”Munger, however, let it rip. “I don't welcome currency that is so useful to kidnappers and extortionists,” he said.Guard your competitive edge.One questioner asked if Buffett’s famed portfolio managers at the company, Todd Combs and Ted Weschler, might have a higher public profile in the future. “They are assets of Berkshire, and there is no reason for them to be out there educating other people on how to compete with us,” he said.Cultivate optimism.Buffett is a pretty cheery person, often extolling the virtues of capitalism. He recommends a sort of even keel approach to life: “In 62 years, Charlie and I have never gotten into an argument, never got mad at each other,” Buffett said.Studies have shown that optimists have a better quality of life than pessimists, and people high in optimism have a better quality of life than those less optimistic. The only problem with this observation? Charlie Munger is 97, and his world view can sometimes be bleak. But his views on Berkshire and Buffett? Very optimistic.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":137,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":108372664,"gmtCreate":1620002767358,"gmtModify":1704337136650,"author":{"id":"3571651020001058","authorId":"3571651020001058","name":"AARONFRANK","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9ad384377a7dfd53c48af6941c28589d","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3571651020001058","idStr":"3571651020001058"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"?","listText":"?","text":"?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/108372664","repostId":"1135819410","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1135819410","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1619999342,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1135819410?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-05-03 07:49","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Uber, Pfizer, PayPal, T-Mobile, ViacomCBS, General Motors, and Other Stocks for Investors to Watch This Week","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1135819410","media":"Barrons","summary":"It’s another packed week of earnings reports, with 130 S&P 500 companies on deck to release their fi","content":"<p>It’s another packed week of earnings reports, with 130 S&amp;P 500 companies on deck to release their first-quarter results.

Here Is What to Expect.","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1131068131","media":"Barrons","summary":"Despite controversy, economic damage to online ads amid Covid-19 pandemic-related economic turmoil, ","content":"<p>Despite controversy, economic damage to online ads amid Covid-19 pandemic-related economic turmoil, and antitrust scrutiny, Facebook is expected to report another blockbuster quarter Wednesday.</p>\n<p>As demonstrated by powerful results last week from Snapchat maker Snap (ticker: SNAP), digital advertising is coming back, fast. Facebook (FB) stands to make even more money than Snap. Analysts expect a net profit of nearly $7 billion, which amounts to $2.61 a share, when Facebook reports results after the closing bell Wednesday.</p>\n<p>Including sales of its virtual reality hardware, and other devices—which are expected contribute to the estimated $452 million to the “Other” revenue segment—Facebook revenue is expected to rise roughly 33% to $23.71 billion. The ad business will contribute revenue of $23.29 billion.</p>\n<p>Facebook is expected to grow its user base by tens of millions as well. Analysts forecast its daily member count will rise to 1.87 billion, and monthly user base will top 2.83 billion. Its monthly user base is expected to reach almost 3 billion (2.99 billion) by the end of the year.</p>\n<p>Beyond advertising, BMO Capital Markets analyst Daniel Salmon&nbsp;wrote in a research note that commerce and shopping are becoming more important for Facebook’s success.</p>\n<p>In March, Facebook chief executive Mark Zuckerberg&nbsp;said there were one million Facebook Shops, and 250 million visitors. Salmon said that if the company discloses the gross merchandise volume, it could help cement the importance to investors of Facebook’s commerce initiatives. Salmon acknowledged that such as disclosure wasn’t likely.</p>\n<p>Investors have been wondering for months about the impact of a change to Apple‘s mobile operating system tech, which finally rolled out this week.</p>\n<p>On Monday, in an update to its iOS operating system,Apple changed its software to ask iPhone and iPad users to opt in to an app’s tracking—a significant departure from the opt out ability buried in the operating system’s settings previously.</p>\n<p>Zuckerberg and&nbsp;Apple&nbsp;(APPL) CEO Tim Cook&nbsp;have sparred over the issue for months. With just over a day’s worth of data, it seems unlikely Facebook will share details about the impact on its users. Previously developers have said it will hurt advertising targeting, and therefore damage ad revenue. It isn’t yet clear exactly what Apple users will do when presented with the choice, or the effectiveness of potential workarounds built by Facebook and others.</p>\n<p>BofA Securities analyst Justin Post wrote that he expects a “modest, low-single digit” impact on advertising spending on the platform since Facebook has had “ample time to prepare and develop workarounds.”</p>\n<p>Facebook finance chief David Wehner&nbsp;has discussed the potential impact on the business in past conference calls, and investors should pay close attention to any updates offered Wednesday. It’s worth noting that Zuckerberg took a less cautious tone in March, saying that he was confident the company will handle the situation. There is also the potential it could positively benefit the company, the CEO said.</p>\n<p>Of the analysts that cover Facebook, 49 rate the stock Buy, six have a Hold, and three rate it a Sell. The average target price is $339, which implies an upside of 12%.</p>\n<p>Barron’s took a positive view of Facebook stock earlier this month.
