$fairfax_financial would be something Buffet completely gets, the float from insurance And already a proven compounder. Hmmm Also $suncor, Buffett has an appetite for this great company And invested I think 10 years ago.. and he is opportunistic when big energy goes on sale!

Greg Abel had Warren Buffett speak at start of the 2026 Berkshire Hathaway AGM. Buffett spent most of it praising Tim Cook, seated a few rows behind next to John Ternus. Since 2016, Berkshire’s $35B initial investment officially grew to $185B. “About 10 years ago, we made a commitment to move 10% of Berkshire Hathaway resources and turn it over to a person who was not well known at the time. We did that by roughly spending $35B to buy stock in Apple. We turned that money over to Apple to essentially make Berkshire look good without any work by us…which is our preferred way of operating. Ten years later, the $35B — counting dividends, realized appreciation and unrealized appreciation — has turned into $185B pretax. And I didn’t have to do a damn thing. Our largest holding is still Apple [$60B+]. When Tim Cook went into the top position at Apple [in 2011], he succeeded a legend. Steve Jobs. Everyone in America knew his name. Not many knew Tim’s name. Steve did these marvelous things, developing products and he had an untimely death. Everyone asked who would run the company. […] How would you like to step in the shoes of Steve and come through with [Cook’s record]? It’s one of the miracles of American business management. Anyway, thank you Tim.”

During the 2019 Berkshire Hathaway AGM, Buffett and Munger said they “screwed up” by not buying Google at its IPO. They avoided tech but has “insights” into Google because GEICO was paying “$10 a click” when the marginal cost was $0 and they could see in their “own operations how well Google advertising was working.” Munger then said that Apple was their “atonement”.

Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger were asked in 2008 why Berkshire Hathaway wasn't investing in India A 12-year-old named Sabrina Chug stood up at the Berkshire annual meeting and made the case: India represents 17% of the world's population. Its economy had been growing at 7-8% per year. At that pace, she argued, India's total GDP would surpass the United States by 2043. Buffett's answer was revealing. He didn't dismiss India. In fact, he shared that Berkshire's Iscar business was already performing well there, and that he had agreed to visit the country the following March to explore expanding it further. "We do not rule out India, believe me, in looking at either direct investments or marketable securities." But then he named the structural constraint that had kept Berkshire on the sidelines: India's insurance regulations severely limited what a foreign-owned company could own and operate. "I really hate to take some of our managerial talent and put them to work for something we only own 25% of. I'd rather have them working on something we own 100% of." This is a window into how Buffett thinks about market entry. Fast growth alone is not enough. You need the legal and structural conditions that allow you to deploy capital in the way you actually operate, at full ownership, with your best people running the business. Charlie Munger went further. He traced India's investment constraints not to economics, but to governance: "Its governments tend to have a fair amount of paralysis. Endless due process, endless objection, zoning is hard, planning permissions are hard." He noted that Lee Kuan Yew, the founder of modern Singapore, had argued China would outpace India for exactly this reason. Less bureaucratic friction meant faster compounding of capital and infrastructure. But Buffett pushed back on the idea that current conditions are permanent: "If you looked at China 40 years ago you wouldn't have dreamt of what would happen. Countries do learn from each other and they should. I don't think I would feel that any impediment to growth that existed now are necessarily ones that have to be permanent." That nuance matters to long-term investors. Buffett wasn't writing India off. He was saying the opportunity wasn't yet structured in a way that fit Berkshire's model. And he was leaving the door open for that to change. His final line said everything: "People in India are going to be living a lot better 20 years from now than they are now."

Warren Buffett was asked if Berkshire’s purchase of $AMZN (2019 at $89) was a departure from value investing. His answer cuts straight to the heart of what value investing actually means: “The idea that value is somehow connected to book value or low price to earnings ratios or anything, as Charlie has said all investing is value investing. You’re putting out money now to get more later — and making a calculation on the probability of getting it, and when.” ___ Buffett dismantles one of the most common misconceptions in investing. Value investing was never about low price-to-book ratios or cheap multiples. That’s a methodology — not a definition. The definition is simple: you’re paying a price today for a stream of future cash flows, and you’re asking whether you’re being adequately compensated. The label “value” vs. “growth” has always been a false dichotomy. All intelligent investing is value investing. ___ 🎙️ Berkshire 2019 Annual Meeting | CNBC Warren Buffett Archive (05/04/2019)
