Warren Buffett is considered one of the most successful investors of all time, known for his shrewd investment decisions and his ability to navigate the complexities of the financial markets. With his wealth of knowledge and experience, his insights into various asset classes, including gold, the weak dollar, inflation, and bonds, are highly sought after.
When it comes to gold, Buffett has been vocal about his view that it is not a productive asset. Unlike stocks or real estate, gold does not generate any income or dividends, making it a speculative investment rather than a value-generating one. In an interview with CNBC, Buffett stated, “Gold gets dug out of the ground in Africa, or someplace. Then we melt it down, dig another hole, bury it again and pay people to stand around guarding it. It has no utility. Anyone watching from Mars would be scratching their head.”
Buffett has also been critical of the weak dollar, cautioning investors about the potential risks associated with a depreciating currency. As the chairman and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway, Buffett has emphasized the importance of focusing on the long-term value of investments rather than short-term fluctuations caused by currency devaluation. He believes that a strong and stable dollar is essential for maintaining the purchasing power of investments and ensuring economic stability.
In terms of inflation, Buffett has consistently highlighted its impact on the economy and investment markets. He believes that inflation erodes the value of money over time, making it essential for investors to seek out assets that can provide a hedge against rising prices. This has led Buffett to invest in companies with strong pricing power and durable competitive advantages, enabling them to maintain their value in the face of inflationary pressures.
As for bonds, Buffett has been cautious about their appeal in the current low-interest-rate environment. With yields at historically low levels, Buffett has warned investors about the limited potential for income generation from bonds and the risks associated with rising interest rates. Instead, he has advocated for a focus on equity investments that offer the potential for long-term growth and value creation.
Overall, Warren Buffett’s insights into gold, the weak dollar, inflation, and bonds reflect his pragmatic and long-term approach to investing. His emphasis on the intrinsic value of investments and the importance of preserving purchasing power provides valuable guidance for investors navigating today’s complex financial landscape. As such, his perspectives continue to be highly influential and relevant for investors seeking to make informed decisions in an ever-changing market environment.
I own both – gold and mining stocks. I own gold because it's real money. I own mining stocks because I'm speculating on the profits that the mining companies are going to make due to the price readjustment of gold in terms of currencies. So in that sense stocks are more speculative than metals. Maybe it's just terminology, but I think the distinction is important.
Great video!
I know Gold was Money, but today Silver is used in many many Industries, what is real uses of Gold.
I need the vent so I chose mr. Buffett I'm an older gentleman and I'm not very good with computers and stuff and so I get a few apps as I possibly can in Facebook has been trying to get me to buy one of their apps so one day I made a comment I thought somebody was spying on me and Facebook popped up and said they sent me a message saying there's someone spying on you if you want to find out join Facebook and I'm figuring wow you're spying on somebody from spying on me and I don't have an account with you and so I deleted a whole lot of my apps like my camera in my messaging Etc by accident I was trying to get to disable my camera tuner app which is directly above the Chrome app and I accidentally punched the Chrome app in the Chrome app saidl if you delete this app this app it might misbehave my phone is telling me in arguing with me this is f**** weird on occasion and apple just pop up on my phone and just invite themselves onto my screen and now I'm arguing with you this is really messed up thank you
eye opener!! Thank You Sven!
Love your videos Sven!
Why can’t we finally admit that all these losers would be bankrupt by now if the fed hadn’t intervened.
Hi Sven / All, could you please provide me ticker for Short term US treasury with four month maturity, which is also buying Warren Buffett, instead of holding cash? or advice where I can buy it, thank you
Forex has been growing for the last 15 years and i have been growing with it too.
Great video Sven,
What do I care about a 3% bond return. I have just logged into my trading account, for the first time in weeks. All my Sven Carlin investment platform suggestions are up, one by over 50%!
You know this Sven, I’ve said it before…Buffett and T Bills, effectively pays no tax, Buffett and Convertables, effectively pays no tax, Buffett and Gold, avoids because of capital gains. Buffett and a private company as opposed to a partnership structure, reduces his tax penalties on income, due to directors dividend.
Buffett makes money because everything he does has a built in compounding effect from not paying tax. He has designed his company this way, deliberately. That is his true genius.
You buy bonds only when inflation is high. IT'S simple right? To sell them when it goes down. Their prices raise because people want them because new ones pay less. Then you get money to buy cheap stocks.
my golds miner stocks is gaining up to 30% of my total holdings again.
im stacking up my gold miner stock again. this time im gona keep it longer. i regret selling it too fast. the last 4 trades on gold since 2 years ago. i only earned 10-15% on those trades and see them rise pass 25-35%. Harmony gold, sibanye gold, drdgole and IAG is all on discount for now.
Excellent! As simple as that!
Completely agree that gold companies can be much better than gold (which doesn't have much practical use in the world). Great video!
Discounted Gold Flow!
Thanks for sharing! Some interesting stocks : GME – TLRD – NWL – GE – T – HSBC – IBM – F – WDC 🙂
How about inflation-linked bonds? Like 3% above inflation?
Glad to see a finance youtuber that hasn't decide to play a joke and waste my time. Consistently professional through and through!
look forward to your youtube videos thank you. stocks are great protection against inflation, so who needs GLD?
Crypto is going a little nuts right now.
Can you explain how inflation is man made and the methods government use to keep it at 2%?
Another great video. Everytime I think I finally know what I'm doing in the market you remind me how wrong I am.
Awesome !!!!
