Let me tell you something about patience in investing. We've been watching this particular company for over 15 years, waiting for the right price. People ask me, "Warren, why wait so long?" Well, the market always rewards those who can wait for the perfect pitch.

Look at companies like See's Candies. We bought it for $25 million in 1972. People asked why pay so much for a candy company. But good businesses are like good marriages - you pick well, then you stay committed. Time is the friend of wonderful companies.

Let me tell you why we're looking at Japan right now. The market there is doing something interesting - trading at valuations we haven't seen in decades. When we see companies selling below their intrinsic value, well, that gets our attention at Berkshire.

Let me tell you why we're looking at Japan right now. People ask me, "Warren, why invest in Japanese trading houses?" Well, the answer is simple: we're seeing remarkable value there. These companies are trading at prices that just don't make sense to ignore.

Look at investing like going to a supermarket. You don't need to have an opinion on every item on the shelf. You just need to recognize when ice cream is selling at half price, and you happen to know a lot about ice cream. That's when you fill your cart.

Look at Apple stock. When we first bought it at $175, many thought we were late to the game. But we saw value where others saw risk. It's not about timing the market, it's about finding great businesses at fair prices and holding them. Time is the friend of wonderful companies.

You see, investing is really quite simple, but not easy. It's like having a good diet - everybody understands the concept, but the discipline to stick with it is what separates success from failure. That's why patience is so valuable in business.

Success in investing isn't about being the smartest person in the room; it's about having the right temperament. Most people fail because they let emotions drive their decisions. You have to be patient and wait for the right opportunity to come your way before you swing.
