Actually, I bought one share of Warren Buffett's stock, probably 35 years ago, in order to read his letters.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The very first stock I bought right out of college was Berkshire Hathaway.
I love reading Warren Buffett's letters, and I love contrasting his words with his actions. He's a very wise guy.
When Warren Buffett invests in a company, he is conferring upon that company something very unique: his credibility.
You'll get nowhere buying stocks just because they have a great story.
I bought a company in the mid-'90s called Dexter Shoe and paid $400 million for it. And it went to zero. And I gave about $400 million worth of Berkshire stock, which is probably now worth $400 billion. But I've made lots of dumb decisions. That's part of the game.
I had a few stocks, but stocks took a dive. I never sell my stocks.
I'm a stockholder. I own a lot of stocks.
It was a complete surprise when Warren called me at my office at Yahoo, and my secretary said it was Warren Buffett. I figured it was a friend of mine playing a joke on me.
I don't know anything about a stock!
The first thing I ever invested in was Twitter. Blaine Cook, former CTO, was leaving the company and asked me if I wanted to buy his stock.
