🌟 Just days ago, the Oracle of Omaha dropped his bombshell Thanksgiving message, signaling the close of a 60-year saga that's redefined investing. At 95, Warren Buffett's declaring he's "going quiet" – no more epic annual letters or marathon shareholder meetings. But he's not fading away without a bang: another massive $1.3 billion charity drop to family foundations, proving generosity is his ultimate power play. 🎁 His parting shot? "You can never be perfect, but you can always be better." Boom – that's the mindset fuel we all need! 🔥 Diving deep into this farewell gem, Buffett spills the beans on his wild ride, from near-death kid adventures in 1930s Omaha to building Berkshire Hathaway into a trillion-dollar beast. Picture this: a bellyache that almost ended it all, saved by a doc's hunc

When Warren Buffett says he’s “going quiet,” the entire investing world seems to pause. In his Thanksgiving farewell letter, Buffett confirmed that after more than six decades of writing to shareholders, he will no longer publish his famous annual letters. For investors around the globe, it feels like the end of an era. His letters weren’t just financial updates; they were masterclasses in business wisdom, patience, and the art of staying rational when everyone else was losing their heads. Buffett’s final message was both humble and deeply human. He thanked shareholders for their trust, revealed another $1.3 billion donation to charity, and offered one last piece of advice that felt as timeless as his career: “You can never be perfect, but you can always be better.” It was a fitting note f

Buffett’s Farewell Letter: The Only Scorecard That Matters Warren Buffett’s farewell letter, released on 10 November 2025, has been widely shared — and for good reason. At 95 years old, the Oracle of Omaha had much to say, not only about markets but about meaning. Yet buried within his eight-page note lies a short, two-paragraph story that captures the core of his life philosophy — one that outshines any investing model or valuation metric. --- 🕯 The Man Who Read His Own Obituary Buffett writes: > “Remember Alfred Nobel — the man who invented dynamite. When his brother died, a newspaper mistakenly ran Alfred’s obituary instead.” As the story goes, Nobel awoke to find himself described as “The merchant of death is dead.” The article condemned him for “getting rich by finding ways to kill

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

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 $Apple(AAPL)$, $American Express(AXP)$, $Bank of America(BAC)$,

Warren Buffet's advice is really spot on. And while it appears deceptively simple (and is indeed simple too), it is perhaps one of the more difficult ones to put into practice, especially when behavioral biases start playing their games. Therefore, prioritising "time in the market" over "timing the market," allows one to ride out short-term market volatility and benefit from the compounding effect of returns over time. This disciplined and patient strategy minimizes emotional decision-making that hampers returns. Reinvesting earnings to generate their own returns & exponential growth is a plus too. Going long term actually reduces the stress of investing - the amount of pressure investment decisions can give is incredible and if we can reduce it, is all the better: no wonder the "dead

I absolutely believe in long-term investing. Buffett’s punch-card idea always reminds me that every decision should be intentional, not emotional. The fewer decisions I make, the more carefully I evaluate each one — and that mindset keeps me focused on sustainable growth instead of chasing short-term hype. If I had only 20 punches, I think I’ve used a handful so far on businesses I genuinely understand and believe in. Companies like Tesla and Palantir are part of that list — not because they’re “hot,” but because I see long-term potential in their technology, execution, and the markets they’re shaping. I’d hold them through volatility as long as their fundamentals and long-range trajectory stay intact. To me, long-term investing is about patience, conviction, and letting compounding do th

Long-term investing works only when the underlying business can survive shocks, keep generating cash, and stay relevant for decades. Time amplifies quality—but it also punishes weak companies—so “hold forever” applies only to firms with moats, discipline, and low existential risk. If I had a limited number of lifetime “punches,” I would reserve them for a few durable names: Berkshire Hathaway for its cash strength and crisis resilience. Microsoft for its irreplaceable software ecosystem. Alphabet for search, YouTube and its data moat. Amazon for AWS and its unmatched logistics. Visa/Mastercard for their global payment rails. Costco for a membership model that compounds steadily. Nvidia only with careful sizing, given its AI leadership but higher volatility. These are the types of companie

🌟🌟🌟Do I believe in long term investing ?  Absolutely!  Because long term investing isn't just a strategy .  It is a philosophy.  A love letter to patience .  A punch card with only 20 holes as Warren Buffett once said .  Each punch must matter.  Each decision must not be taken lightly. I punched $DBS(D05.SI)$ not because it was trendy but because it ticks all the core fundamentals that I hold dear. I saw DBS as a fortress bank, a dividend machine and a symbol of Singapore's resilience .  I held through the cycles ,through the temptation to trade and today I am up 132 %. Long term investing is an emotional discipline

Long term investing and compounding should be the main form of investing for common users. Speculating the market, trying to cash in and out quickly, carries risks that most normal investors are not prepared for. If anything, expert insiders would have already cashed in before common users have the chance to enter the market. I invest in brands that I use or work with, and have a focus on dividend paying stocks. If their fundamentals are sound, I am willing to stick with them for the long haul. I have had maybe 6 "punches". I used to strongly believe in the us markets, but it is extremely concerning how their president behave so erratically. I am left wondering if the system will actually collapse by the end of his reign.

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!

I do believe in long term investment. If you find the company business model is great and there is so much potential growth, you should hold on to the shares for many years. In SGX stock, I had held on $OCBC Bank(O39.SI)$ since year 2003. This bank give a very good dividend. In US stock, I had held on to this share $ResMed(RMD)$ since 2008. When I join this company, I find it have a very good business model and the potential growth is so great.

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 😂📉🔥

Yes — I firmly believe in long-term investing. So far, I’ve only used a few punches — for companies like Apple, Google, and Amazon. I hold them because they share the traits I look for as a value investor: durable competitive advantages, strong and consistent cash-flow generation, dominant positions in their markets, and management teams that allocate capital effectively. Even when the market swings, their long-term fundamentals continue to strengthen.

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.

Of course, I believe in long-term investing! I believe every beautiful or successful thing takes time. For example bread, it just takes a few simple ingredients like water, flour, egg, yeast etc, what makes it beautiful and tasty is the proofing process ( which is time). Stick to the stock you believe and let's times work out for you. [Miser]

Yes, I believe in long-term investing because it provides a more stable and disciplined approach to building wealth, allowing investments the time they need to compound and deliver sustainable returns. @Frisbee @deal2deal
