Beautiful content, I love listening to both the old grand masters speak. Warren's long answers and Charlie's short answers, the wisdom is so huge. Many thanks.
The right question would be - knowing that financial institutions are prone to accounting shenanigans and misstatement...how can one still find opportunities in them? What factors should one evaluate as the pros and how does one get a realistic assessment of the cons to make a decision in the case of financial institutions?
Buffett answered for 5:50 mins and Charlie for 30 seconds- outcome same. Charlie simply explained that like a gas company has a lot more explosions than a sand company, financial companies have a lot more financial issues (errors, explosions) than non-financial ones!
Howard Marks points out some red flags of being at the top of a bull market (and I added in what is happening currently that correlates with it) Lots of credit liquidity Very low interest rates A new financial instrument that is difficult to quantify and has no history = bitcoin (last time it was mortgage backed securities) New offerings get ridiculous valuations - AirBnb - Doordash Very high valuations - low returns (and high risk) That is what I can recall off the top of my head
I think they should have mentioned the logical conclusion that complicated financial firms shouldn’t be rated AAA. That is where the ratings agencies are still messing up.
That is the least logical conclusion within the context of how markets mechanics work, materiality thresholds and confidence intervals, the fact that sophisticated parties on the buy-side have the intellectual bandwidth to properly analyze/price these securities, etc.
MahanFan1 You may be right. I am not an expert, and perhaps you are. But an intuitive account would be that it is problematic for a rating agency to say that there is little risk associated with highly leveraged and complex organizations that they don’t understand. Is your point that the ratings agencies can just trust market to correctly price risk? This may sound very naive, but the periodic crashes and volatility of the market makes me skeptical that the market is all that wise (even if investors are “sophisticated”). Or maybe u mean something else?
The fascinating thing Is that Bill by that time he was very likely analyzing MBIA, triple Aaa rating Company at that time, that Bill short It and earn an Amazing return (One of his most succesful trades)
I just bought more of these a few minutes ago. Tying up money due to an apocalyptic stock market crash is also not a smart move. Life is a risk and it's better to take risks than to do nothing, you can't always expect to make huge profits all the time, people have so many opinions about a recession/depression. In just 5 months my portfolio grew by $300,000 in gross profit, the main thing is to expand your portfolio and you will see amazing results by investing
Didn't realize I wasn't subbed yet. Saw you were only 10 away from being able to monetize your vids. Decided I should say thank you for all of this wonderful content you post (recognizing most of it is buffet and munger's advice and questions) but when you put your own vids out, I would like to support you. Here is to making you one step closer. Only 9 away my friend. Keep up releasing this awesome older (yet useful) content. Thanks!!
He would have been almost forty, by which time he had been in the business for thirteen years. I wonder whether Charlie and Warren knew of him by that time...
Alex G he has been a frequent attendee of the Berkshire annual meeting and has asked questions at multiple meetings. I think Warren and Charlie probably knew him by this time.
5:24 what hes saying doesnt make sense. why wouldnt you blame the ratings agencies. if as buffet says the ratings agencies have no idea what the ratings of the complicated financial institutions are, they should state as such and give a NA rating or something. rating these complex financial institutions AAA when theyve really got no idea how to audit them is the very definition of misleading!
Jon Sm I agree! However, the rating agencies don’t want to not receive the fees they get from rating these companies. There is a conflict of interest inherent in the process.
Warren, if despite you owning and have access to all the primary sources of a company, can not make the determination if something is a positive or a negative, and that it can differ wildly in either direction - then that means that the whole financial architecture is flimsy, a mess, unreliable.

Bill Ackman has come a long way since he was asking questions at Berkshire Hathaway meetings.
He really has!
True!
All the way to being a fraud
@@arabidaif1734 how so?
@@successfulusername look it up, look up his dodgy affair with herbal life it's all exposed live
The single downvote is from Carl Icahn
This is my favorite comment so far haha
😂😂
The other 5 are from Herbalife
Keonda Kuhhh they are haters
@@InvestorCenter warren is the best
“We will be watching your career closely young ackman”
Bill had heard the answer and became rich
Was already rich! Rich since the 1990s.

chooselife3000 I truly appreciate the support! Thank you so much!
The best is when Munger hits you with something out of left field like a mail order bride with aids.
Complexity, by its nature, provides more opportunities to be fraudulent.
Even more for financial institutions.
Bingo
The right question would be - knowing that financial institutions are prone to accounting shenanigans and misstatement...how can one still find opportunities in them? What factors should one evaluate as the pros and how does one get a realistic assessment of the cons to make a decision in the case of financial institutions?
This is a very good point!

Charlie's answers are always concise and insightful!
Howard Marks points out some red flags of being at the top of a bull market (and I added in what is happening currently that correlates with it)
Lots of credit liquidity
Very low interest rates
A new financial instrument that is difficult to quantify and has no history = bitcoin (last time it was mortgage backed securities)
New offerings get ridiculous valuations - AirBnb - Doordash
Very high valuations - low returns (and high risk)
That is what I can recall off the top of my head
Really good points! Thank you for those!
This comment aged well.

BluffaloSoldier 100% agree with that statement.
That is the least logical conclusion within the context of how markets mechanics work, materiality thresholds and confidence intervals, the fact that sophisticated parties on the buy-side have the intellectual bandwidth to properly analyze/price these securities, etc.

This video helps explain part of the reason why the 2008 financial crisis happened.
True!
what ratios should we use while analizing then?
Charlie summed it very well
The fascinating thing Is that Bill by that time he was very likely analyzing MBIA, triple Aaa rating Company at that time, that Bill short It and earn an Amazing return (One of his most succesful trades)
That trade really helped Bill Ackman make a name for himself!
The single best piece of information about analyzing financial industry :)
It is very insightful!

scam alert !!!!!
WB should have hired Bill Ackman after hearing his question and logical thought process
Ackman would have been a great addition to the Berkshire team!
He should asked about the role played by Moody’s in the GFC and al the fraud they failed to downgrade. Moody’s is owned by Berkshire.
What year was this annual meeting? It's not in the video description.
You are best at providing insightful content! Thank you for your exceptional work.
Well it's more relevant now after what happened to svb.
yea
This channel is awesome. I just subscribed. It is already helping me learn more about investing!
Hey, can someone tell me when this was??
Jimmy Waltone this was the 2005 Berkshire Hathaway Annual Meeting
David Alejandro Gonzalez Romero this was the build up to the financial crisis

Which year’s meeting was this?
When was this interview from?
Buffet always gives great advice! Keep in touch.
Yes sir!
"If we don't work with them they'll go to our competitors"
When was this?
A young Bill Ackman!
Crazy!
He would have been almost forty, by which time he had been in the business for thirteen years. I wonder whether Charlie and Warren knew of him by that time...
Alex G he has been a frequent attendee of the Berkshire annual meeting and has asked questions at multiple meetings. I think Warren and Charlie probably knew him by this time.
@@InvestorCenter The meetings were slightly smaller in those days too.
What year?
Good question Mr. William Ackman

This took place in 2005. I’m not sure if Ackman was a billionaire yet, but he did manage a relatively large hedge fund at the time.

It's really funny hwo Ackman is asking those 2 the questions. The faces of Warren and Charlie look a bit more stern as usual..
Ackman lost all respect after valeant lmao "why don't the agencies per form due diligence"
1:50
The master speaks.
Pick your master. Ackman, Buffett, or Munger?

your channel is in kids mode.

financial companies are hard to read!
Yes they are! Especially when the accounting rules and regulations were different prior to the financial crisis.
Keep it simple. Check the CFs and ALM

Warren, if despite you owning and have access to all the primary sources of a company, can not make the determination if something is a positive or a negative, and that it can differ wildly in either direction - then that means that the whole financial architecture is flimsy, a mess, unreliable.
If Warren can’t figure it out, you know something is messed up.
Could be that some of the companies are just too big to analyse well
So it's all BS!?!
