Berkshire's 2023 annual shareholder meeting: Watch the full morning session with Warren Buffett 

I feel investors should be focusing on under-the-radar stocks, and considering the current rollercoaster nature of the stock market, Because 35% of my $270k portfolio comprises of plummeting stocks which were once revered and i don't know where to go here out of devastation.

Didn't Charlie Munger and Warren Buffett invent the strategy of buying/investing when the market is low and also buying/investing when the market is high? As Warren Buffet said, he has seen this happen many times in his life. Not an investor. My wife and i never earned more than a middle class salary. We plan to get retired at 58 with a stock portfolio worth $4M. We have never sold so much as one share of stock...

I'm afraid of making fatal money mistake and going broke again. I'm in my 30s and I'm here for some advise

Every week I buy more bitcoin because i believe it would surge after the halving, but could Gold be the safest buys other than BTC & APPL in terms of growth with $150,000 to outperform the market this year?

Munger and Buffett have both achieved an incredible feat with Berkshire. They've turned thousands to billions, and have made a lot of people wealthy in the process. I really saw the potential of the stock market by reading Berkshire's annual letters. I recently sold my $674k apartment in the Bel Air area and I'm hoping to throw it into the stock market. I just don't want to lose everything.

There are lots of mixed opinions about stocks and their projection in the next coming years, I aim for short term solid gains from market correction and I'd definitely jump on the boat if I knew a thing or two about day-trading, but then again what do I really know? I'm just looking for the right moves to grow and hedge my stagnant reserve of $370k from inflation.

Imagine being 90+ and still sharp as a knife. True legends!

These are very valuable rules for anybody who wants to get rich. Unfortunately, most people who will watch this video will not really be able to apply the principles. We may not want to admit, but as Warren Buffett once said, investing is like any other profession-- it requires a certain level of expertise. No surprise that some people are losing a lot of money in the bear market, while others are making hundreds of thousands in profit. I just don't know how they do it. I have about $89k now to put in the market.

Warren Buffet is 92 and he is running a shareholders meeting in front of a live audience without issues and is completely coherent. Just incredible.

Every day we have a new problem. It's the new normal. At first we thought it was a crisis, now we know it's a new normal and we have to adapt. 2023 will be a year of severe economic pain all over the nation.. what steps can we take to generate more income during quantitative adjustment?I can't afford my hard-earned $180,000 savings to turn to dust.

The greater the passive income you can build, the freer you will become. Taking the first step is the hardest, but 5 houses later living off passive income since July 6, 2016. You’ve got to start taking steps to achieve your goal.

Thanks for posting the long videos in addition to the clips CNBC

I am experiencing one of the most challenging phases of my life... Lost a fortune lnvesting in emerging companies... How are other people in the same market raking in over $200k gains with months, I'm really just confused at this point.

I'm struggling in this market. Stocks that I have held for months and made profits from are not behaving the way I'm used to so I’m quite indecisive on how to tackle this market, any advice would be grateful.

Becky Quick does such an awesome job when covering these two. She’s magnificent. Two historic icons setting in those chairs.

lnvesting in the stock market has historically provided higher returns than other forms of investment with the average annual return for the S&P 500 index, being approximately 10% over the past 3 decades. I've set aside $250k to start following inflation-indexed bonds and stocks of companies with solid cash flows, I believe it is a good time to capitalize on the market for long-term gains.

5lSuccessful people don't become that way overnight. What most people see at a glance wealth, a great career, purpose is the result of hard work and hustle over time. I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life.....

I love these 2 guru. they are funny, humble, and very capable. national treasure material for sure.

I genuinely mean it when I say that this economic recession has left me incredibly angry and exasperated. I have good companies bought but instead of making profits I've lost over a quarter of my portfolio since a year. I've been considering hiring a financial advisor, but I'm torn between choosing a male or female advisor. Who do you think would be more trustworthy?

Rest in peace Mr Charlie Munger You will be a legend forever!

Based on net worth in Berkshire world I am a nobody. However, I truly value this entire show. We can learn more in listening to Warren, and Charlie that in years at a business college. The big takeaway is integrety. Holding fast to finding a good business to own and allowing the people you purchased with that business to do their job with greater capital going forward. Thank you for allowing us regular Joes to watch this show. Lots of smart people out here, good people, but not much money people too. Happy Trails from Florida

Warren Buffett and Charlie munger are legends ❤️

Warren at 92 and Charlie at 99, these two nonagenarians have a combined 191 years of experience. Nothing like being a life long learner. I love the shareholder meetings for that reason alone.

Lynch has mastered what patience looks like. He has stuck to the markets, having a long term view on the markets. This is what I'm struggling to do, trying to learn how to not react to market news about inflation and all. I have currently set aside about $253k to put in the market now that prices are down. Any ideas?

Rest in piece charlie, thank you for sharing your knowledge with the world

Man all CNBC had to do was make timestamps chapters for this video. They literally bring zero value these days

Charlie has great sense of humor!

Rest in peace Charlie. you'll be missed in next years meeting.

In the past all I known is Warren buffet but not at all about Charlie … after watching him tbh , Charlie is really the man behind Warren Buffet’s successes and not much are talked about him .. the more I watched him the more I become admiring him on his work ethics n views in life . Warren indeed spot on his other half that truly his levels n better . Too bad Charlie pass away before I even get to know anything of him but I do hope his legacy lives on because the guy truly deserves it .

The 24’ annual meeting is going to feel odd without Charlie and his wise cracks.

I feel like Ajit speaks with much more candor than Greg. I'd like to see him more direct with both the good and the bad.

Charlie rest in peace

Big thank you from all of your fans! You are an awesome human been!

It’s so nice to see you two always look forward to this annual meeting.

Thank you.

@48:00 Yes.

Excellent meeting ; well co ordinated . Trust that the company goes from strength to strength . All the best to Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger and may they enjoy good health

Charlie Munger mentioned BYD co without a direct question about BYD. This shows me Charlie has been thinking alot about BYD co and what they are doing in their business. BYD a clear number two to Tesla

R.I.P Mr. Charlie, thanks for sharing your knowledge with us

Mr Buffet is want to say that I have been very proud that I had the opportunity to watch the videos regarding the economy and also the financial wold And I thank you for evetything.AIso Mr Charlie and mr Gates . You are all wonderful . I thank you for your ideas .

2.40.30: Becky Quick was not that Quick for her last question before lunch 😊 Buffet Rule 1: Be always ready even when you are not ready. Buffet Rule 2: If lost, follow Rule 1. What a wonderful annual meeting 2023. Always source of learning & implementing same in our every day life, whether business or personal. Wishing you good health & long life Mr. Buffet & Mr. Munger.

these meetings are over...no one is going to even CROSS THE STREET to listen to a railroad expert and an insurance salesman from India. Warren loves these guys...(he also loved Dexter shoe)

king charles eating peanut brittle. I think i will try some now

Here's a favorite nugget: Warren: Investment opportunities lie in the fact the "world is overwhelmingly short-term focused." Min. 48.28.

1:19:37: I love that, at this point, Charlie Munger has decided to just take a nap.

Awesome and fascinating presentation .. I found it great to hear how coherent Mr. Buffett is. His logic and practical business savvy is something beyond incredible considering his age. He reminds me of the kind elderly gentleman in the movie "Up."

Dear Charles. I wish there were more people like you. I wish I was more like you (that s actually the first time I said that to someone in my entire life). You actually do something to try to better the world. I believe that. Have a wonderful day.

it is amazing listening to these two people. His thoughts on life and timeless wisdom is so rare in todays world and ago. It would do enormous good to manking if people spend some time listening to these investing legends than watching celebrity flaunt their bodies. I dont understand how people waste time listening to useless stuff . it really makes me very sad and sometimes i feel it is not viable to do what we can.

What a great intro. What an inspiring duo. These guys are made different.

Right? I’m sticking with 4rabit till June 29, hoping to score big. Yesterday’s match was epic!

Good Morning everyone sending love and light 💕

YOUR STRATEGIES ARE SIMPLY AMAZING! I'VE TRIED SO MANY DIFFERENT APPROACHES TO BINARY OPTIONS OVER THE YEARS, BUT NOTHING HAS WORKED AS WELL AS YOUR METHODS. THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERTISE WITH US - YOU'RE TRULY MAKING A DIFFERENCE IN THE LIVES OF SO MANY TRADERS.

Thank you Charlie for your wisdom. You inspired me to write A Teenager’s Guide on how to Invest Like Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger.

0:52 the joke by warren was really awesome...❤❤❤❤❤❤😂😂😂😂😂

21:32 Charlie's first words... Man I love this guy! These guys! And Girls (yes you young ladies), now I shall continue

Imagine being this old and still remain sharp. Not sure how many of us will be like that if at all we grow that old.

Charlie was drinking water at his last annual meeting. This should have been a telltale sign that not everything was going well with him.

Following these two professionals has changed my life for the better in more ways than one

Love these guys. Charlie I will miss you.

Good Morning Mr Buffett & Charlie Munger!❤❤❤🎉

Thx CNBC

Warren must be feeling real weird not having Charlie around anymore

God bless Charlie, rest in peace

They are not old just fine vintage and sharp. Thank you, Mr. Buffet for all of the many free videos teaching valuable principals and concepts for investing and breaking the figures down making it easy to grasp and gain a great understanding about wealth and how to build wealth. You are never too old to learn with the right mindset.👏👏👏💞💞💞

Go Warren, go Charlie!

Really so grateful that Buffett reveals inspiring business calculation and amazing long list of lessons, you help me raise life value, get good results and earn money ❤😊🙏🏾

I feel proud to become an Investor while these two legends are still alive

I like that more mainstream news sources are covering Palentir, but its extremely obvious they dont understand the company

Loved watching every minute of these 2 investment sages share their insights. More investors should be watching this and learning from those who have come before all of us who keep it simple and have profited exponentially!

22:15 Indian nearly dies of nervousness asking the most basic question 😂

I like the part when Peter Flaherty called them out on the evil they do and was silenced and taken out by police

Charles Munger is a real OG

The average stock in my portfolio has been cut in half, and the only way to make money this year has been to either short or to trade long in very short time frames. I'm still at a crossroads deciding if to liquidate my dipping $117k stock portfolio, what’s the best way to take advantage of this market?

Man some people asking questions don't really care about the answer, they just want their 2 seconds of "fame".

Great acoustics.

Thank you for this great opportunity to change my life! you the great human been

What are the odd that Warren Buffett will live more than greg😅

R.I.P Mr. Munger!🙏

I would like to say that admire the above people . For being so much simple and having A good heart And so much simplicity .ofthe above video. I want to thank mr Buffet for his precious ideas and I admire also his Economy way that I would like to follow. And I want to say that they are wonderful people And I m enjoying their video talking . Their simplicity their beautiful character is very rare And I m very proud of being able to live A massage to them

I too in a heart beat would grab someone like Charlie and make him my winged man because the guy can def turn anythings into gold mines .. I see so many things in Charlie make me speechless the more I watched him . The guy is soo beyond good ❤

Would love to have asked if Charlie regrets his massive investment loss on Alibaba - That didn't really pay off - Time will tell if he was right to get out of it and sell it off.

Rip charlie munger

Thank you for the video.

Idea: are there trades that could be placed that would hedge against the chance of profit precentage. If strategy is 57% chance of profit, what trade could cover the 43% side, if that makes sense.? ✌️

Rest in peace Mr. Munger we are fortunate to have him these decades

I would like to wish you MERRY Christmas. And I thank you .

What a motivator you are... After your videos I start to make my month payment just for a week!!!))🕶

see you around Charlie!

Realistic and correct story,idea,strategy,policy, but very Well-Known and has been Around for more than Forty years....Are there new ideas,strategies today,and is it even POSSIBLE for them exist, given the circumstances and REALITY TODAY?

last year the diet cokes were not blurred, this year the diet cokes are blurred, this is very un-American.

Love these guys

In terms of there having 'never been a book that has consistently sold like it', someone please tell him about the Bible...

Thanks 🙏

Everyone in the lofi community they are so kind and they send warm messages
