Warren Buffett built profits on folksy advice about investing and life
Even in the age of algorithms, short attention spans and TikTok teases, Warren Buffett continued to profit with his patient bargain-hunting approach while offering folksy advice on investing and life. As chairman and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway, Buffett became famous for his methodical investing style: Buy good businesses when their prices are low, stay on the sidelines when prices are too high and be patient with well-chosen picks.
He rode that to decades of beating the rest of the U.S. stock market before he retired as Berkshire’s chairman on Friday, less than a year after giving up his role as CEO.
