ICR182: Warren Buffett’s Annual Shareholder Letter

ICR182: Warren Buffett’s Annual Shareholder Letter

ICR182: Warren Buffett’s Annual Shareholder Letter

In this episode of the podcast, I take a look at Warren Buffett’s latest annual letter to shareholders and some of the lessons we can learn from it as investors.

Warren Buffett is a legend in the world of investing.

The 86 year old is widely considered to be one of the most successful investors in the world. He’s also the second wealthiest person in the US, with a net worth of close to $80bn.

As head of Berkshire Hathaway, Buffett writes a letter to shareholders each year.

These letters are designed to report on the performance of the company and he also uses them as an opportunity to share some investment or business wisdom with his investors and fans.

In his latest letter, he shares some wisdom about using low-cost index tracker funds, reminds us not to bet against America, considering value when paying for investment advice, and keeping our heads during investment market corrections.
