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.

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.

You know, investing isn't about getting rich quick, it's about finding wonderful businesses at fair prices. We look for companies that have strong fundamentals, honest management, and a durable competitive advantage. That's how we've done things at Berkshire for over 50 years.

People think that they will get rich by finding the golden goose overnight. That's a mistake that I repeatedly tell everyone. Wealth takes a long times to build up, just like shitting and pissing.

Look at Apple - we bought our first shares at around $175 billion market cap. Today it's worth well over $2 trillion. That's the power of patience in investing. You don't need to be a genius; you need time and conviction in great businesses.

Think about competitive advantage like a moat around a castle. The wider and deeper that moat, the better protected your business is. Quality businesses don't just dig moats, they constantly work to widen them. That's how you build lasting value.

I’ve always said that the stock market is a device for transferring money from the impatient to the patient. You only need to find one or two truly great businesses in your lifetime and then sit on your hands. Time is the friend of the wonderful company.

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.
