  • dear mr buffet. my ipod just froze, would you donate me one new. godbessyou

  • 3:14 he hes right about the Canadian dollars being higher than USD.

  • warren buffet- one of the only and certainly the richest non-douchebag rich guy ever. i SUPPORTS i higher tax rate on the wealthy, and admits he pays more taxes than his receptionist. he realizes how intellectually bankrupt the right wing is, and knows how its really bad for business not to have regulation. thank you mr.buffet, for being rich and a good, NON-greedy person. thank you.

  • @TheNondiscriminatory Not pays more taxes. Pays a lower rate. His rate is 17% (a few million); her rate was 25%. Definitely not fair.

  • @liagarden that's his capital gains tax. the U.S. does not have a regressive tax rate, it has a progressive tax rate...BUT it has major loopholes, and those loopholes need to be fixed.

  • gotta love dubs B

  • this man is a genious and a VERY king hearted individual.. he has donated BILLIONS!!! YES MANY BILLIONS! not many millions... TO CHARITY ALONE!!!! HE IS ONE FINE MAN WHO ID LOVE TO SHAKE HANDS WITH IF I HAD THE BALLS TO!

  • @DjTommyKx ya but he has written off ALL of his charitable donations...if he wants to pay more, why doesn't he just pay more? Why use tax write offs?

  • @shadowgeyser warren buffet has written books? plz tell me the titles if u know

  • For people who believes that honest and morally strong people cannot ever be successful in life........Mr.Warren is the answer for them.

    From what my knowledge of human nature can conclude Mr.Warren is a very down to earth person with simplicity which can blow ultra modern assuming logistics to nowhere.

    I really like him, he is like a financial Super hero, someone to whom people can turn to when their judgments get clouded.

    I wish to be like him in every aspect.

  • Population-reducers Ted Turner, Bill Gates & Warren Buffet must set examples for people who remain unconvinced and intractable, unmoved and apathetic in regards to voluntary genocide as advocated by red China's favorite Austrian: Henry Kissinger. Their notable suicides will shine as beacons beckoning kith & kin to follow.

  • Warren Buffett's hedge fund is pretty pro, he bets hundreds of billions of dollars in day trades, he has balls.

  • @yuri35435 He doesn't day trade dumbass...he buys stocks and holds them for years...if not decades..

  • Earnings can be pliable as putty when a charlatan heads the company reporting them.

  • people here have so much bad to say about this man........i don't know whether he is really a genius or it just happened like many things in human history have, but just think of this guys, unlike many other rich people, this person has become rich just by investing the money in right way, without starting a company out of his own thoughts, without having any unique selling point, without having any great invention to his credit..........he has become rich just by investing right, wow.

  • You "get rich quick" gamblers know as much as your incompetent gurus! You throw your expendable bucks at crap, while the rest of us struggle, and now refuse to help you get richer! (Our own ace.)

    Get he current picture (which is only getting worse) , geniuses?

    Just like corporate America, you've all been suckered into the promise of getting to the top!

    Calculate the odds, idiots. Play lotto!!!

  • I love Warren... He is my inspiration to start BWarren, a business info company..

  • these sort of people should be rich because he cares about other ppl since he is constantly donating... like other rich men who tries to take advantage of poor...

  • I wish I could meet him

  • Shit american editing, we aren't stupid, we don't suffer ADD. Just let us view the unedited version please.

  • Peter Redman?

    any relation with Redman of New Brick City?

  • Think you all will find this youtube channel interesting: SybartieLtd

  • It is interesting to note his comments on railways where he acknowledges that they are better ways of transporting goods esp if oil goes up. But he also mentions that 'it does not have any incredible future'. After 2 years he simply goes out and purchases a large rail line network Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNI)

  • @pmthiru Burlington isnt CN Rail, Burlington is/was a better business than CN Rail. CN Rail isnt a bad business it just doesnt have any advantages that its competitors havent already picked up on/have themselves. That was a good move on his part though.

  • Warren is showing off a bit but there might have been somebody to change what he said cause those laughs are not how he usually laughs......

  • If you think he's doing things the way he profiles them to you, your an idiot.

    Proves his PR is efficient. ^^

  • Lol. i dont even know much about the guy all i just heard that he donated all that cash. So stop trying to act like you're all smart and shit cause i could care less about your 5 second search on google you fucking prick. I'm a friend of warren guys? LMFAO. im 16 years old you dipshit you think i know about buffett in depth like you do? Keep reading you fucking bookworm know-it-all- prick

  • @bellavista7" ....... your an idiot" - maybe you meant to say you're an idiot!

  • Warren Buffett donated 37 billion USD to charity idiot. So how's he greedy you fucking troll.

  • hey shitkicker! Did you ever stop and check what kind of 'charity' he 'donated' his money to? If you would be bright enough to grasp the financial construction behind it, you might see that it's an investment like any other. Not clearcut charity. It's just a nice way for warren to avoid some taxes, boost his image, make some money(yes,yes you can make a buck out of charity),...

    So don't start sizzling warren's pecker just yet.

  • I'm guessing you have no experience in Finance/Tax. The donation was done through stocks. Unlike, donation of fixed capital equipment, land, etc... Even if it were the case, what is your link between him giving away half his fortune and making money from it? And I do know that some charity work can lead to additional profits, but I fail to see how this is the case as it is not stated. As for the image boost argument, that's pure speculation but agreed that it is possible.

  • The post above should by no means indicate that I disapprove of it. Nothing wrong with making some money of 'charity'. ancherz is just one of those 'I'm-a-friend-of-warren-guys'.­..pathetic,right. I think Mr.Buffet has no need for you to uphold the Image.

  • Er you obviously know absolutely nothing about Buffett! He is trying to INCREASE taxes on the rich. he has also given huge sums to charity...

  • Sarcasm? If not then please extricate yourself from the massive rock you're living under. Buffett donated 32 billion to the Gates foundation, which stands as the largest donation in history - the remainder of his fortune is to be liquidated at his death and spent on charitable causes within ten years.

  • If he is so generous and frugal, why doesnt he just hand it all over now, oh yeah, cos he is a greedy bastard and he is arse fucking africa,

  • Your a dumbfuck lol

  • becuase he doesnt want to die yet if you were 80 years old would you give all your money and start collecting social sucurite

  • Just realized you're the same clown who stupidly asked "Why doesn't he give it all away?" You are obviously beyond help, but just keeping in holiday spirit I'd like to suggest an excercise for you since you love asking questions:

    Stand in front of a mirror, look yourself in the eye, and repeat the following statements

    "Why am I such a deuche?"

    "Has anyone ever really listened to me? ever?"

    "How do I reverse this trend of being such a complete failure in everything? Is this even possible?"

  • You sicken me, you are the very worst kind of arrogant schmuk

  • why does it not surprise me that you're some shitty little jealous british douchebag cumsucking faggot. go back to your overcrowded tiny little island and leave a great American investor like Warren Buffett alone you euro piece of shit.

  • OK here are some facts you fucking filthy disgusting republican bastard.

    George W Bush was a republican FACT.

    The republican party is the laughing stock of the world FACT.

    Abortion is a pregnant womans right FACT,

    Homosexuality is natural and healthy FACT.

    War is not an answer FACT

  • im not talking to you anymore for the following reasons.

    1.) your a republican

    2.) your boring

    3.) I didnt come here to here some ridiculous far right wing neo-nazi agenda, I came here to tell everyone that I think Buffett is a greedy scumbag.

  • Ron Paul is a joke.

    You fucking idiot redneck warmonger George Bush voting scumbag

  • The world outside the USA hates the republican party, they hate its ignorance, they hate its warmongering, they hate Bush, the whole world tells jokes about idiot fat assed fat headed republican scum.

  • Which type of Obama hater are you? are you racist? Or are you a warmongering Goerge Bush voting ignorant redneck republican twat.

  • now your just getting pissy because you know your arguments are weak and your admiration for this tyrant is abhorrent

  • Your desire to acquire wealth and the knowledge that will assist in the accumulation of this wealth seem like childish impulses to me, the only true happiness is disireless, let go of your ridiculous and foolish quest for material belongings and then true fulfilment can enter your life.

  • Look you blinkered american fool. I am a buddhist my books are thousands of years old and the wisdom i seek is eternal.

  • You seem completely unable to grasp the idea that I find the accumulation of material wealth to be offensive, I certainly would never want to make loads of money.

    I find Warren Buffet is immoral, his accumulation of wealth is based solely on greed, some of the companies of which he is a major investor are among the most destructive and brutal organisations in the world.

    Your attitude is appaling to me, and explains exactly why both economy and ecology are in such a bad place.

  • No he is a socialist that plays a rigged game for himself.

  • I read in his bio that he followed the Dale Carnegie rule "Never criticize". Interesting watching this, he can factually say stuff like "the dollar is going to keep going down" but not do it with criticism. I think some people want him to come out and criticize current monetary policies, but there's no way he'll do it.

  • That's the face of $62,000,000,000.... .-.-

  • Comment removed

  • Pretty sure he's vowed to give away 85% of his fortune to the Gate's foundation. What a selfish guy.

  • he's leaving 40 billion plus to the bill and melinda gates foundation to solve problems like malaria and HIV.

    what an evil old man

  • YES! If he has all that money to leave in his will and he lives so frugally now, why doesnt he just hand it over now.

    GREED

  • Comment removed

  • Well Blongers1 what kind of philanthropy are you involved with?

  • Im like robin hood, i kill greedy disgusting old bastards like buffett and give there belongings away to the needy.

  • You are like a Baboon, primitive to humans, with a fat ugly red ass and going extinct because you can't get laid.

  • Actually, i get tonnes of prime pussy, im swimming in it, the ladies love me.

  • and primitive is not a verb

  • just cuz some poor bastards dont like rich people because they cant get off their ass to make some money they just HAVE to vote for obama (the big fuck tard)

  • So you're all bunch of cowboys now, right? Can't even read some of these comments!

  • warren is my idol hope i'd reach vicinity of his understanding bout the stock market.

  • Brilliant guy. Very down to earth and seems approchable...

  • The man's a genius. Wish we could have had more people like him running the country, then we wouldn't be in the mess we are in now!

  • for his age he is still going strong and making right decisions and deserve respect for what he is doing to make the world a better place.

    Last time i check he was going to donate 70% of his wealth to good causes.

    Legend

  • @teabag92887 99% actually. he got alot of cake

  • @teabag92887 Warren lied about Moodys and he routinely talks his own book and sadly this is not caught because the "financial journalists" want to kiss his bottom in order to get another interview. Buffett is a Left wing, anit-American Obama supporter who is not much different than Soros. He has spent a fortune trying to polish is image as a "sage" but in reality he is an anti-American liar that deals with corrupt companies.

  • @jeffmaylor

    You're right Buffett is a socialist who makes his money off welfare.

  • If you people who commented are not making as much money as he is.. just keep your mouth shut because nobody.. I repeat.. NOBODY.. is going to listen to you.. rise up and stop acting like a kid..

  • I have problems sometimes with the current round of wealthy people who have been greedy and irresponsible. However, I think that Warren Buffet is an exception despite being ridiculously wealthy. I don't think he supports the decisions that the idiots made at the banks, etc. He also doesn't act like a jack&*& like most of the right wing idiots do. Why does he want to pay more taxes and support the democrats? He already has enough money to buy whatever he wants now.

  • Horrible editing.

  • lol

  • Shots of Glory 7

  • Canadian National bought a huge piece of AMERICAN RAILROAD.

    NORTH AMERICAN UNION anyone???

    These are not leaders, they do not give a shit about anyone but MONEY!!!

    Business is not the Problem- When it is done Right.

    With the Governments help it ALWAYS done Wrong.

  • People always have to buy things- but it was FOREIGN POLICY that ALLOWED people like these

    GOVERNMENT MOBSTERS that Fluffed Presidents to hire outside the country...

    I WILL NEVER RESPECT DISHONEST BUSINESS, and ESPECIALLY THE MEN running the operation.

    You cannot worship GOD and Money...tell me who is who???

  • Read a book dude

  • You have no fucking clue what you are talking about...read a fucking book you ignorant piece of shit!!!!!!

  • You aren't listening to him if you say things like that.

  • I'm 15 and I'm trying to get into large cap value investing.

  • @orangefan9 good man me to im 16 now im looking at stocks.

  • blitz ismore

  • pure GENIUS.

  • those of you who post bad comments about him,your just jealous,,,,I'm sure you not rich....

  • he is the richest man in the world!

  • This man would be rich without money!

  • @Philshki82

    Want to know what Buffett & Gates are really doing with money?

    Here it goes......

    They are donating billions of dollars to the bloody violent slaughter of innocent unborn babies in abortion mills. Just google the articles below:

    1) Warren Buffett : An Unbounded Enthusiasm for Abortion

    2) Massive Buffett Donations Will Fund Pro-Abortion Agenda around the World

    3) Gates Foundation Planned Parenthood Abortion

    4) Planned Parenthood Pushes Abortion for Profit Ex-Abortion Director

  • @Philshki82 This man is already rich in both ways

  • I don't get it.

  • Try the "bankingorbust" website for more information on this topic

  • Fck you bloggerjoe, you worthless nobody. Don't even dare to comment on Warrent Buffet when you worth less than a pile of shit.

  • Hey, iamsonyfanboy, seeing as how you are a 29yr old nerd who's favorite youtube videos include such misogynistic gems as "Show me your genitals", I am going to ignore you.

    Merry Christmas.

  • you obviously don't have a sense of humor.

  • show me your genitals is fucking hilarious

  • Good interview, but I wish it was longer.

  • So because he has worked hard for the position he is in today he should give people a free ride? He also doesn't worship his money, he is giving 85% of it away to charity when he dies. So dude seriously shut up and stop trying to bring people done because they make a lot of money.

  • I sell a CIA front man actor.

  • a great man and a fantastic investor.

    however, i just wonder if perhaps we are now in a new paradigm, and that WB did not see at the time of this interview how very bad the global is looking.

  • Mind Power, what is he 70+ and still totally switched on.

    The thing about him is he´s a modest genius, many people are clever or stupid but act as if they are the best, he IS the best and plays it down and keeps his feet firmly on the ground. A wonderful man.

  • this guy is so simple i would never think he has so much money if i didn't know. not like other individuals that go crazy buying cars wearing jewlery and showing off to other. this is for you at there learn to be simple and treat other good no matter what is their economical condition

  • He is right you know.

  • Invest in a genius "Josignacio Painting"

  • he has the greatest personality

  • Buffett is a great American.

  • i have respect for him and gates of his philanthropy they have

  • 3:28. I wonder how he can both support Obama and discourage trends in government spending.

  • this republican administration has done anything to control spending except to eradicate a popular health care program for children of lower and middle-income families. intelligent people tend to lean left.

  • Okay then go and tell some of these hungry, homeless and unemployed they are too cynical and let me know what they say.

  • Buffett seems like a great guy, however he's still human. I do find it a bit strange that he supporting the Dems. & the Death tax. Kind of weird for a billionaire to "ask" to be taxed more.

  • he has a conscience.. he believes in neutrality... and a sense of well being for everyone.. u must be the type of people that eats lobster while watching your neighbor starve...

  • I kind of get your point 924142707. Billionaries have this stereotype...they've established this reputation where they're obnoxious jackasses, and whatever obscene name people wanna call 'em. But I think it's his humility that's talking; "he's still human". So why do you think he's asking to be taxed more? A) He has the money. B) Why should he care? It's like a billionaire saying they only buy underwears on sale. They have enough money to financially support themselves.

  • well he didnt neccecarily grow up rich, so what you said makes no sense. Why dont you put your self in his shoes? or close to it?

  • Buffett is a firm believer in building your own capital and working on your own steam as it creates the best people.

    Think about it. If he decided to not donate most of his fortune his kids would end up with $60 billion. Which is fine, I'm sure his kids are wonderful people. But what if they aren't? A family with $60 billion can do a lot of damage and have a lot of pull for good or bad.

  • but it is scary that he is giving some of his money to bill gates- he scares me

  • I will say this again those charities have millions of dollars. So yeah where are the wells, the crops etc. The money is not getting to the people. Starving kids, homeless, dirty water, no food. These so called charities are not spending the money the way they are supposed to. Thats why there are so many people hurting.

  • you're too cynical, yes, you are.

  • I like Warren Buffet I think he is smart and genuine. I do question his giving all that money to Bill Gates though. Why because the money is supposed to be used to help the poor. The thing is Bill and Melinda Gates give to organized charities and these charities allready have millions of dollars. Why dont some of these rich people just walk up to some poor people and say here is a a few grand buy yourself a house or something.

  • Umm... Well. If you go to a guy on the street and give him 10 000$. Whats he going to do? Buy food? A house? A car? Bling bling? Or maybe it would be better to give it to a charity that can build and upkeep infrastructure such as wells and crops in poorer countries. Or supporting education and helping the needy in ways that REALLY will benefit them.

  • ya im with michael, but it would be really nice if I could just get one millionth of his money to pay for college

  • except if you go to a poor area of town and hand people 1000 dollars your more often then not giving them crack and booze money

  • Very down to earth guy. He does not fancy his money in cars, houses, parties, etc. He lives a very normal life from what I can see. A man with power who is very down to earth. I heard he was donating most or some of his fortune to charity. 83% was the number I saw somewhere... crazy... Big respect goes to him.
