Warren Buffett: The Random Search Effect V

Advertising, Advice, Berkshire Hathaway, CNBC, Foreign Direct Investment, Oracle of Omaha, Warren BuffetKnown as the "Oracle of Omaha", Warren Buffett is also known as one of the world's most successful investors, due in large part to his sensible and frugal approach to the discipline. When asked by a reporter on CNBC recently, what investment is best to own (a fairly stupid question at best) Buffet replied, almost off the cuff and as if anyone should know:

"The best thing to own of course is your own talent. They can never take that away from you." - Warren Buffett

Touché Mr. Buffett. That should strike fear in the hearts of those who have no talent whatsoever.

  1. Mr. Buffett is my husband's BIG Boss -- MidAmerican Energy. (And... he is right about that ("The best thing to own of course is your own talent. They can never take that away from you." - Warren Buffett)). You OWN that David!

  3. Everyone has a talent. What is rare is the courage to nurture it in solitude and to follow the talent to the dark places where it leads.
