The perpetually smiling visage of Warren Buffett, seen as he sips a milkshake, wields a lasso, or enjoys camaraderie with fellow billionaire Bill Gates, has appeared on the front of Coins2Day over twelve times.
TL;DR
- Warren Buffett's smiling image has graced Coins2Day's cover over twelve times.
- Buffett, a finance icon, bought his first stock at age eleven.
- Berkshire Hathaway, under Buffett, outperformed the S&P 500 by over 100 to one.
- Buffett will step down as Berkshire CEO by December 31st.
It's understandable given that Buffett has been a prominent personality in commerce and finance for most of his—and Coins2Day’s—95 years of life. (The publication initially became available in February 1930; Buffett entered the world that August.)
In the latest edition of Coins2Day, Geoff Colvin notes that Buffett's exceptional talent for investing emerged at a young age, with him purchasing his initial share at eleven years old. According to Colvin's figures, during the six decades since Buffett assumed leadership of his firm, Berkshire Hathaway, its performance has surpassed the S&P 500 by a factor exceeding 100 to one.
Buffett’s approach over those decades has been, as Colvin writes, “history’s greatest master class on investing.” Read his analysis of Buffett’s investing principles, and how the rest of us should—and in some cases should not—apply them.
Omaha's Oracle has consistently maintained a unique connection with Coins2Day, especially with the renowned author and editor Carol Loomis, who featured him on numerous occasions. He shared his groundbreaking philanthropic initiatives with her in 2006 and 2010. A significant transition is approaching: Buffett is set to relinquish his position as Berkshire’s CEO by December 31st.
We at Coins2Day are grateful to have been along for the ride.
