Warren Buffett gets asked the question "why doesn't everyone do what you do?" His response is simple and profound:

@BigBrainInvestt Completely the opposite of what I read here on X. All people do is watch prices.

@BigBrainInvestt “The miracle of compounding returns is attained through sustained long-term investment, undeterred by market fluctuations.” Little book of common sense investing by John C Bogle (Founder of Vanguard)

@BigBrainInvestt He made money from insurance. He screwed the poor person from the start and the took the cash pile and bought Coca Cola! He's no genius

@BigBrainInvestt because most people want to get rich fast, not rich. the compounding that makes wealth work requires you to do almost nothing for decades. that bores people. boring wins, but it's hard to stay bored.

@BigBrainInvestt “Long term greedy. Not short term greedy” 🎯

@BigBrainInvestt @grok what is original source?

@BigBrainInvestt Second part isn't true. A quasi-real time measure of a company's expected performance (the stock market) is crucial in raising investment capital.

@BigBrainInvestt He may be the greatest, but he was wrong on the Washington Post, Apple ( late). No disrespect. Just a comment that nobody can always see the future.

Fair point no investor is right every time, which is why process and consistency matter more than individual calls.

@BigBrainInvestt "Human Beings will always need food and energy"... Warren Buffett
