This is a clip from the 1997 Berkshire Annual Shareholder Meeting, where Warren Buffett explains why he did not invest in companies like Intel and Microsoft. These are complicated technology stocks that grow at a tremendous rate, and it is because it is difficult to picture where these growth stocks will be at 10 years from now that Warren Buffett did not invest in those companies.

    yet now 42% of his porfolio is apple, what buffet truly meant was that if growth companies can become somewhat of a monopoly in their fields then it's a good business to buy in. Don't buy in their early stage because they might not succeed

    intel isnt a growth stock👀

    Your header is not what he said. Shame on you.

    Then buys apple which is close to microsoft.

    The only difference is that apple is more towards consumers and Microsoft towards bussiness.

    Microsoft has a growing bussiness in azure which will yeild economies of scale. While apple has a moat which is harder to break in too.

    Both great companies which target different audiences.

    Funny . Bill Gates portfolio is 45% Berkshire Hathaway. So what's the deal ? Buffet says Microsoft is not a good investment . No it's not at 200$

    Short version: "I'm old and I don't understand computers so I'm not investing in them. People shouldn't invest in what they don't understand"

    Pretty much buy stocks you believe in take the share price and x that by the total shares available if you had the money would you buy the company if the answer is yes then buy the stock

    Microsoft is one of the best and very strong competitor of Warren Buffet…I can't compare Microsoft with CocaCola. Very simple approach can answer it. This is 2020 AI,Digital and Data era and each of us uses Microsoft product in our daily life and even much more than harmful drink CocaCola. So no need to understand the business of CocaCola comparing to Microsoft. This is just funny argument by W. Buffet , he knows what to say against his rival. Microsoft made a history and still is writing present and future.

    Microsoft stock price in the teens in 1997.

    Want to know whats crazy? at $49 Intel checks off Warren's criteria. Berkshire buys intel–you heard it here first

    Just something to be aware of, when Buffet got Coca cola it was as a growth stock not value, same with Apple. He has value investments as well.

  14. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Tyler says:

    He simple says he doesn't invest in what he doesn't understand.

  15. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars 粵劇傳承 says:

    Buffett's portfolio owns AMZN. Period

  16. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Gregory Patterson- MHETS says:

    I don't think he was downing tech stocks, but just explaining that he doesn't understand them.

  17. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Andreas says:

    Intel is a value stock, and microsoft is a quality stock. Neither are primarily growth stocks.

  18. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Solomon Bier says:

    Do you have a clip of what Munger says? It cuts off before he speaks

  19. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Kalvin Lye says:

    This is not warren Buffett! It’s a scam ! Beware of person who posted this video!

  20. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Kar Lee says:

    Title is deceiving. Warren didnt say anything about avoiding intel or Microsoft. It's all about understanding the company fundamentals.

  21. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Mike Mcdonnell says:

    with chips everywhere and msfts licenses its a pretty good bet in 10 yrs they will be fine

  22. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Paulo MK says:

    He would not buy MSFT stock due to ethics violation and insiders bet.

    Nice reminder to invest in things u understand. Of course if it has high octane growth, all the better. Thats what we try to do for our youtube portfolio.

  24. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars MadKnighter says:

    I think for a lot of investors it comes down to this…Am I okay with being well off (invest in solid companies where I will make some money) OR do I want to very wealthy (invest in more volatile less predictable stocks that have the potential of making a lot of money or losing a lot)?

  25. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Caleb Chan says:

    High growth tech stocks are very hard to understand and predict over the long term unless if you work in the field.
