Buffett Farewell Letter: Is the Last Lesson Resonating With You?

Buffett released his Thanksgiving farewell letter, announcing that he will no longer publish his annual shareholder letters. He used a distinctly British expression — “I’m going quiet” — to mark the end of his legendary 60-year investing career. Buffett revealed another $1.3 billion donation to charity. He concluded with a parting lesson: “You can never be perfect, but you can always be better.” Has Buffett inspired you in your own investing journey? As this Thanksgiving marks the end of an era, what reflections does his farewell evoke in you?

I must have believed in long-term investing to be still standing tall after the CLOB clobbing, Asian Financial Crisis and the Subprime crash which led to severe economic recession. Long-term investing includes holding individual stocks, ETFs, or bonds for years to benefit from gradual appreciation and compounding. Key strategies include focusing on strong companies with good fundamentals, consistent earnings growth, a competitive advantage, and a history of paying good dividends. Use as many “punches” as we can with dollar cost averaging regularly to build a resilient portfolio including $Apple(AAPL)$, $American Express(AXP)$, $Bank of America(BAC)$,

Do You Believe in Long-Term Investing?

Most people chase the next hot stock. One headline, one viral chart, and suddenly the market feels like a stampede. Warren Buffett, meanwhile, sits in his calm little corner buying solid businesses and letting compounding quietly build wealth behind the scenes, like a slow-moving but unstoppable glacier. Me? My long-term investing style is… personalized. A blend of patience, practicality, optimism, and a touch of "I'd rather wait than sell at a loss.” I hold some stocks long term partly because I can't sell them at a profit yet, but also because I don't like realizing losses when the company still looks fundamentally healthy. Wendy's (WEN) is a perfect example. Nothing major is wrong with the business, so I hold on, collect dividends,

Over the years, Buffett's most memorable theme was the flightiness of "Mr Market" and the need to stay focused on intrinsic value. For Buffett, Mr Market – a character first conceived by Graham – was forever doomed to live with "incurable emotional problems", as he wrote in Berkshire's 1987 letter. Many of Buffett's other recurring themes flowed naturally from that view of the market. If the market was manic and unpredictable, the key was to invest in a disciplined manner. Investors should only buy companies that they were capable of understanding and never be wooed by non-intuitive sales pitches and Wall Street esoterica. He claimed no particular gift for timing the market, but insisted on making investments with a "margin of safety", another Grahamism that means buying at a price well ch

Buffett dropping a perfectly British “I’m going quiet” after 60 years of market domination is honestly the smoothest exit ever 😂🇬🇧✨ His farewell really feels like the investing world’s dad just said “okay kids, you've got this” and walked out of the room 🥲👋 But hey — if Buffett can spend decades staying calm, patient and humble… 🙏🏽 I can at least try to stay calm when my stock drops 2% in one day 😂📉🔥

After trying out a few trades, I realized I’m more comfortable with long-term investing. DCA into solid companies or ETFs like VOO feels lower-risk and gives me peace of mind.

There really is so much to learn from Buffett. Patience, investing into companies with sound fundamentals, learning from mistakes, etc. He is a decent man too, having the stance that rich individuals and large corporations should pay their fair share in taxes to not burden commonfolk and help the US better manage its fiscal deficit. His company (Berkshire Hathaway) even paid a record setting USD26.8 billion in taxes in 2024, something you would never hear individuals like bezos or musk do. He has done very well and can live comfortably and happily, wishing him the best of health!
💯
yes. I hold AAPL, AMZN, GOOGL, MSFT & PLTR long-term. 🐄🐃🐂🦬🐮🚀🌚
Yes absolutely. I believe assent allocate into correct place and let the time to do the compounding work, it will keep generating cash. The longer the time, the higher the compound rate. So we should stay healthy , live longer and DCA to what we believe in
Tell me future of rocket lab stock and its rate
Long term investment in the strong fundamental company is a sure win for your future freedom. Spend money on your freedom, buy your freedom, compound it and the more you spend the more time you have for your own. You can decide your life direction when you have the freedom. DCA is also a good strategy when combine with buying when discount. 😉

I believe in long term investing. I have been holding few Magnificent 7 companies since 2021. "Magni 7" companies like Apple, Nvidia, Microsoft, Meta, Amazon, Alphabet and Tesla, are all good fundamental company with huge market capitalization. They are stable and suitable for long term investing.
