  • Warren helped me make money since Oct 3 -11. He'd said 'Stocks are cheap right now' 2-3 weeks before the back to back hits in Oct. 2-3rd '11. So I figured they were even cheaper. So far they done good. Thanks Warren (Terex, Foot Locker, and Reliance Steel) Price to book less than 1:1 with one of those

  • If you had invested just $1,300 in Walmart in 1974, and held on to it; you would have over 5 million today

  • $40 in 1919 is equal to the purchasing power of $524.06 in today's money. just an fyi

  • @helllspell for ONE stock. ONE STOCK

  • I know this is a whimsical antedote and im being pedantic just for the fun of it here. But the dollar has lost 98% of its value. So its really $79.2 to make $5 million. So thats basically half as bad as what Buffet was claiming. Doesnt look like as good an investment now does it :P

  • yeah but your talking about 1909 man!!!!! by the time that one share turns into 5 million I'd look like you and we all know that an old man with 5 million and the same as a young man with 5 million. You cant drive your Aventador with out blindsiding someone and you'd need some one else to hold your dick up while she sits on it for you.

  • Zeitgeist movement

  • Say what you want, the man is smart as hell. Bad or good.,. got some brains

  • all you need are some friends in government, some lobbyists, and a buddy in a central bank with printing power. THat's how you make those kind of returns.

  • @acercomputersruleyou With your attitude, you will be in mediocrity for your whole life

  • @skaha65 enjoy delusion.

  • just like houses. buy, reinvest. it's fool-proof. even if your 30k house drops to 10k... it's never zero and you can always get more rent than the cost of repairs and property taxes. eventually, you own them... pure profit. perseverance, and hard work... makes you money.

    imagine that. :-|

  • excellent

  • Lol he said Eastman Kodak

  • With this "code" you'll know which direction Gold will go before it goes there, allowing you to either "buy" or "short" Gold over and over again and make money. Sound too good to be true?

  • Investing is about 3 variables - direction, timing, & volatility. If you are wrong about the direction, the other two factors are irrelevant. If you are right about direction but wrong on your timing (as he explains at the beginning) then it boils down to amount of capital at risk and the mindset of the individual investor (can take the pain or cannot). If you are right about the direction and timing then volatility is rather irrelevant. The end goal to consistent profit is to reducing variables

  • He looks like Louis Black

  • I love the casual candidness of this video.. and "you can only live life forward" Great advice!

  • zeitgeist moving forward and addendum...

  • When I first read the title I saw "How to Turn $40 Million into $5 Million" and thought "I could do that!" lol.

  • Where do i take my 40 dollars then start waiting for 5 million = Is excellent investment

  • $40 dollars becomes $5,000,000... and it only took 92 years, at least your grandchildren will be happy

  • @helllspell - that's the point - it's called "intergenerational wealth" and it's how dynasties start. it cant be taxed, it cant be mandated away.

  • @dqk648nw Actually, there is a very large inheritance tax. SHOULD wealth be taken away though? Isn't it unfair that your parents can struggle their whole lives just to give you a better life, and then someone comes in and takes it away?

    Based on all the undeclared wars and staggering deficits by countries around the world, I think it is clear that governments have proven they can't be trusted with money.

  • @theredscourge, inheritance tax is odd. A principle of our economic system is to allocate scarce resources to where they will be used most effectively. It can be argued that anyone who has built themselves into great wealth from nothing has used the resources at their disposal very effectively. If all of that wealth is passed on to the next generation, and that generation cannot use those resources effectively, they will disperse back into the general economy soon enough, without taxation.

  • @rileytoole Exactly. I'd rather a foolish spoiled rich kid have the money than the government, the rich kids tend to spend it in a way that doesn't tank the economy.

  • @theredscourge *cough* tax havens *cough* expatriate *cough*

    there are perfectly legal was to not pay those taxes. you could just use something highly liquid, etc.

    gov. is usually a middle-man... yet you can minimize it's affect on your finances.

  • @helllspell, of course that's just for 1 share. Nobody makes money, in a reasonable amount of time, by buying 1 share. But, buy 100 shares and...

  • @helllspell he was a billionaire at a fairly young age. i know it's not as "cute" as what you said...

    but it's how things went down.

  • @helllspell He disowned his granddaughter, so I don't know about that

  • @helllspell Dude, that is with ONE STOCK.

    Your comment might seem funny but it is blatantly untrue. No one has only 1 stock in any company, so imagine having, say, two stock?

    Thats 10 mil. 10 stocks? 100 MILLION, BUDDY.

  • Biggest Sellout Ever!!!

  • Hello there! Have you considered the Intellitus Cash System (google it)? Ive heard some awesome things about it and my buddy earned crazy amounts of moolah

  • for some strange reason I knew that there was a little more to this interviews title....

  • i love his voice

  • ....Never underestimate America's limitless thirst for "dark brown sugared water"!

  • He simply rents his stock out guys. Therefore he doesn't care if his stock goes up or down, it doesn't matter to him. at 3:06 He gave out the secret. good luck everyone

  • we all know how to do this. just print it.

  • Interesting. Thanks for the insights and lessons on the ups and downs of success. HalleluYah!

  • warren, pay a dividend instead of giving your money to private foundations, and it will go to obama

  • Yes, rich guys can afford to buy a little bit of everything looking likely, and later raise the most promising crops. Llke a fortune teller, when you make a ton of predictions, a few of them are bound to accidentally turn out right. So the old rich, with their 20/20 vision, mainly boosting their long term investment wins over the years, can now "advise" us how to turn less than a hundred bucks into 5 million. Thanks, but right now I'd just be happy to see how we can change 4 bucks into $5,000.

  • @themredweirdoshow Listen again, maybe you'll get it this time.

  • It's amazing how so many people are disputing with one of the top money earners in AMERICA TODAY! It doesn't matter what anyone would tell you about how to multiply your earnings you people will never listen and therefore will never increase your earnings. This is why so many Americans will always be poor. Like Jesus said, "the will be with us forever".

  • All you need is 93 short years

  • @raygarrettjr lol

  • But you have to think about when..you can't wait forever...in the very long run we're all dead

  • "If you're right about the business, you'll make a ton of money" <- true, but that's the trick in investing, whether you're right or wrong not only about the business, but also about it's competition and the whole macro-economic environment.

  • It only will take 100 years to get my 5 million bucks from my initial $40.00 investment!

  • @medicbr549 Wrong, that was $40 in early 1900's, you would have to be wealthy to have a lazy $40 laying around, people earned about $1 - $2 a week so that eliminated most of the population.

  • @medicbr549

    I was hoping you got my point? Of course the cost of living was different; In 1920, the average wage was 26.00 a week not $2.00 and Unemployment in 1920 was around 5%.

    The ratio was the same and people were happy (until 1929) Warren makes a great point, put money in the market and leave it there.and invest the dividends! You can make a nice retirement early in life.. Folks, you are aruing with one of the richest men in the world!!!! Take the advise and run!

  • Ever notice that the richest people in America on the Forbes 500 list are liberals not conservatives like the media would have us to belive. I dont have a problem with wealth and being able to keep what your earn but I am so tired of the top 1% being sold to us as rich conservatives when they are socialist liberals who like Warren Buffet want to tax the rest of us when he avoids paying any tax he can, yet he bitches that we dont pay enough as a society.I have lost all respect for him he is scum.

  • @goldsilverandiamonds Yes... Investing 30 billion dollars toward making the lives of people all around the world better is no doubt the definition of scum.

    Wow.

  • @collingmusic No lying about the tax rate you pay to the public to support a president who wants to tax us into the poorhouse is. Saying you pay less in income tax then your secretery does but omitting the fact that you only pay yourself 100k in earned income to run one of the largest companies in the world while paying yourself millions in dividends at a 15% rate to make it sound like the wealthy do not pay enough in taxes is the work of SCUM. I am a capitalist who hates liars.

  • @goldsilverandiamonds You realize he's talking about the amount hes being taxed on the dividends he receives, right?

  • @sla He never mentioned dividends and their tax rates he talked about earned income and used his secretary as an example, not the rate she makes on her investments but earns.Warren Buffet is a hypocritical scumbag who stuck his fat nose into something he stayed the hell out of. Again Buffet limits his earned income to 100k per year(a tax crime in my oppinion) just so he does not have to pay higher taxes then take dividens at a lower tax rate,. Buffet is a hypocritical scumbag!!

  • @collingmusic And how do you propose to do it? Giving them and that's it?

    Better than giving somebody a fish is teach him to fish.

  • @goldsilverandiamonds Do you smoke weed with the people you get your information from?

  • @amishnation My comments are true, sorry if the hurt your feelings........but as they say the truth hurts. Buffet is a hypocritical scum bag in regaurd to his tax comments. READ ALL MY COMMENTS!

  • there should be caps on how much a person can have, AND like in Rome there were no wills.

  • Conclusion: economists are a waste of time and money when investing in a single firm. See: business studies

  • It's a lottery. How many Warren Buffets do you hear of as compared to people who win the Power Ball or Mega Millions lottery? Someone is bound to pick right stocks just like a person is eventually bound to pick the right lottery numbers. Difference, you have better odds picking lottery numbers than you do picking the right companies to make millions or billions.

  • @jmitterii2 everything you just said is backwards.

  • @kyleinaction My point is, not very many people will ever become rich off the stock market. In fact, many put money in it and pull out little in the end. Its a gimmick just as much as a lottery is a gimmick. Just as much as trying to make it as a famous actor or musician is a gimmick just as much as making it as a big drug cartel is a gimmick. The chances of striking it rich in any of these professions is incredibly low. Invest in your own business and work, you'll be rewarded.

  • @jmitterii2 Agreed.

  • @jmitterii2 it's a gamble, sure. But a lottery is a system of random selection. It would be more apt to compare what Buffet does to betting on sports. You won't always be right, but you can mitigate the consequences by picking smart.

  • @kyleinaction Complete betting. You'll not get bloated billions of this. You have black jack players that have gotten rich or lottery winners picking the right numbers. I still affirm that investing in your own business and working it and other jobs brings about much high reward and far less risk. The stock market will always be a fools game the rich use to exploit others. Oh well, a fool and his money are soon parted. Good luck at the casino called the stock market.

  • dear warren i invested $100 and now stuck well over 300K

  • funny thing... this video says HOW TO.. and hes telling you something that has been and gone(you can't do it) LOL

  • @Hunter1801192 I guess you did not understand, it is simply invest in the future, invest in a new consumer bubble. From everything from new energy, fusion, as many endore, to a new energy drink.

  • So basically go back in time, buy a Coca Cola share,come back to now, and you will have a 5 million dollar share.

  • @KastroThaDon But the trick is to omit to say that the dollar has lost almost 100% of its value. Back then $40 worthed almost $4000 today. So the correct title would be "turning $40 into $50 000." Haha.

  • @MrJeanSarkozy How did you get that value? If you compute using CPI calculator, $40 in 1919 = $520 in 2011.

  • @Lot3ch You're maybe right, then it's still $500 000 not 5 millions.

  • @MrJeanSarkozy That's still quite a big difference...I'd be happy to do that.

  • @MrJeanSarkozy Which is still an okay ROI lol.

  • @seanchin yes but... in 1919. There's no point waiting a full life only to get 50 000 or 500 000. You'd earn this much earlier with a propper job. If it was 5 million, ok, it'd be impressive.

  • Check out my channel! Send out cards is a business that you partner with and do a bit of marketing to make some money! Please check it out!

  • how about when the brokerage firm goes brankrupt and robs millions from its clients, like in the case of MF GLOBAL Mr Buffet?

  • how does he get $5 million from a $40 stock even with dividends. not saying hes wrong, but I dont know how to calculate that. help anyone?

  • @rickiller59 if you bought a $40 stock by reinvesting your dividends.

  • @commonsensedatcom I have troubles with the math because I actually calculated it. Even re-investing the dividends and using the splits from historical time frame, I still don't get 5 million. Reinvesting dividends I get about 700K total value over 100 yrs. I think he's full of shit. And you are just assuming he's not telling a "big whopper-- the big fish" story.

  • @rickiller59 BS. Dividend on one stock wouldn't yield that much. And if it was from stock splits, it would have to had split 125,000 times. But its accumulative splits were 4,608 and lets say prices came back to $40 a share, that's $184,320 as for the dividend it ranges from .10 4x a yr to recent record high .47 4x year average 1.12 or 60 yrs 1 share= 67.20. For kicks lets say all the splits happened at the beginning still would only get $309K in dividends. Total $493K

  • @jmitterii2 Its still a lot of money. But even if they may be shady at times, its still good to learn how to do it I guess. Thanks for your reply.

  • @rickiller59 And that $493K total is an over estimate because at put all the splits at the beginning as if the .28 average dividend was being paid out over 4,608 for the entire 60 years. The majority of cokes splits were done in 1990 from 576 accumulative splits in '86 to 4,608 in '96. Even if you look at 100 years and all splits started at the same time, which of course most didn't start until 86, it'd only be 516K in dividends. These people are BS'ers, that's why they're rich.

  • Want money go to my channel!

  • 6 people thought they would get 5 Million dollars

  • He started out renting second-hand gambling-machines to barber-shops. Likeable though he may be, I can't help feeling his origins are an ironic comment on the finance industry.

  • Die already you NWO shill !

  • Helpful- But the problem is; I don't have 40million. I have £10...

  • I would love some SEEs chocolates. Buy some silver it's $28 see you at 5million

  • I don't get it.....why isn't HE in charge of our country's finances?????

  • @roseakiss because that's not what he finds enjoyment in. Unfortunately lol.

  • You can turn $289 into $5M/year income, in 5-6 years, right now, with Fortune. Even in first 30 days, have 3 reps on your team, all with recurring bills/paying for services they already participate in (meaning: you're not asking them for new money) you get 100% back, plus a $300 Best Buy gift card! Even if you never do another thing in the business. garden of lia at yahoo.

  • There were some businesses from 1800's-early 1900's that made lots of money Coke, General Electric, A.T.&T, Ford, Sears,I.B.M., etc. but many more went broke so you got to pick the right companies. More recent times Mcdonald's, Walmart, Microsoft and Apple Computers. However more businesses that went broke than made millions or billions so have to pick the right ones. And some were successful but later had problems Studabaker, Indian Motorcycles,Woolworth, Montogomery Wards, Dalton Book, etc.

  • @hydrolito Many companies last year doubled their stock price. i know 3 people who went from "job income" to over $50,000/m. income in 6 months in Fortune. Just because it's taking me longer, does not mean I will not succeed. The only way to fail is to quit. I keep adding people to my team, we all keep gathering a few loyal customers, for world-wide companies & that formula = success.

  • @hydrolito

    McDonald's?? McDonald's are closing in Europe. People want healthier dining choices in Europe. There are more Subways restaurants in the U.S. than McDonald's and soon Jack in the Box will pass them in total U.S. restaurant franchises as well, and then Taco Bell will pass them. McDonald's??

  • @MrNytn2001 McDonalds Australia are opening everywhere like a rash because with menu changes they cater for a healthy diet here plus McCafes for coffee breaks and kids playgrounds & party functions, it's a very strong business with excellent franchise operators who rake in the millions, it all comes down to how professionally you run a business, actually I see opportunities in Europe maybe I can pickup the Maccas there and use the Australian model to reap profits.

  • @MrNytn2001 Taco Bell, KFC and Pizza Hut I think are own by Pepsi, so Pepsi is bigger than McDonalds not Taco Bell which isn't close. McDonalds has over 31,000 restaurants world wide and is major owner of Chipoltle which is a more health conscious Mexican Restaurant chain, they also own Donatos Pizza. Jack in the Box is nowhere near as large as McDonalds with 2,200 restaurants with over half in the two states of California 927 and Texas 611. They also own 700 Qdoba Mexican Grills. +31,000>2,900

  • @hydrolito

    There are more Subways restaurants in the U.S. than McDonald's and according to your data Taco Bell's parent company would also be a better stock. That's my point.

  • @hydrolito Another point to note is that you can pick the right company, but even that company can go through hard times and the stock becomes worthless. Then new stock is issued and the old stock is cancelled--leaving stock holders holding the bag. People see the same company many years later and think that they would have been rich if they just held onto the stock. But, in reality, they would have held worthless stock. Example, KMart did this.

  • why the fuck isnt he our president or atleast in charge of our countries finances?

  • @SKEEZIN08 Make him President? Why so he can make his companies richer at our expense?

  • @hydrolito ever heard of insider trading? last i checked its still illegal so no thats not why

  • Interesting. No macroeconomics influencing his choice.

  • Just become the Secretary of the Treasury and you can print up as much as you want for free!!!

  • One can increase the work load by increasing free time: SoMuchMoreFreeTime in Fo

  • Turn 40 dollars into a billion by joining the NWO. 

  • waren said actually his biggest mistake was buying berkshire hathaway

  • @wpeake99 WTF?!!?? He created Berkshire Hathaway as a holding company!!

  • @ 2:35 my business mistakes? how much time do you have?

  • Apparently, Warren invested heavily in VHS.

  • I think when it comes to real estate the best way to save is through saving on realtors commission.

  • This was before he was plucked out of obscurity and bombing every night at the Comedy Cellar in New York.

  • Warren Buffet! What a guy!
