10 Highlights of Warren Buffett, Charlie Munger, Bill Gates on CNBC – May 7, 2018

  1. Buffett: Bonds will fall a lot from current prices (as interest rates rise). Investors should buy S&P 500 Index instead. We are not in a stock market bubble. There has never been a good time to buy U.S. Treasury bonds.
  2. Buffett: Wells Fargo will outperform its rivals in the future.  Berkshire owns 10% and will not buy more because Berkshire would then be classified as a bank holding company and subject to more regulation.
  3. Buffett: If a $100 billion deal came along that we like, we will get it done.
  4. Buffett likes Apple a lot.  He would like to own 100% of Apple if he could.  He likes the business and the management.
  5. Charlie Munger: “I’m delighted to be here. Actually, I am delighted to be anywhere.”
  6. Buffett admits mistake of not following Munger’s advice to buy a large stake in Costco many years ago.
  7. Munger recommends investing in Chinese companies. They are cheaper than U.S. companies.
  8. Munger: When Democrats control government there will be a single payer system for health care with an opt out.
  9. Buffett: Associate with people who are better than you and will move in that direction.
  10. Munger wishes Berkshire owned more of Apple.  It is reasonably priced and strong.
