I worked for a very big successful company that decided to go public, prior to going public they temporarily changed their very successful way of managing the company to soften up the numbers. Suddenly it was a night n day comparison until they eventually had their IPO. Awhile after the stock was issued, they went back to their efficient ways of managing . The term “integrity” was a convenient term for the management and was so important to continue one’s employment there, which it should be. Many times a family man or woman was terminated under the broad brush of “lack of integrity”. Even the biggest “honest” companies in the world will “confuse” the public.
I once saw a secretly filmed movie clip from an event arranged by some hyped startup company, and at one time there was a fairly young woman (not Elizabeth Holmes, this was in the 90s) who stood on stage yelling like some cheerleader, getting people worked up like a preacher at an extatic evangelical church meeting.

I like Warren but its fascinating to hear him talk about insurance companies denying legit claims, when the insurance companies he owns do exactly that all the time
Avoiding frauds is the elephant in the room when it comes to investing. I've beaten the my local total return index by an average of 7.7%p.a. over the past eighteen years. I'd estimate that I'd have added at least 4-5%p.a. to that by simply avoiding situations where crooks take your money! It's happened sooooo many times, I'm convinced that at least 30-40% of apparent bargains on the stock market are actually just instances where the market has cottoned onto the fact that there is something shady going on.
Insurance is a complex business. Each year you take in the premiums, people make claims and you pay out claims. Looks easy, but the payout of claims is often several years into the future, and the claims may also be made in the future. So you need to be able to predict how many claims will actually be made, how successful they will be and the size of each payout. Underestimate the future payouts and your insurance company looks like it is doing brilliantly. Of course only until someone notices that your estimates are wrong. Then it goes bad fast.
These two are the only investors that give good advices while others are trying to scam you into buying their pumped up stocks or cryptos so they can get rich off of you.
That bit about having to pay executive bonuses in cash is real. Companies have been using that very "profitably" for years. It's not really that you are paying extra for wall street companies that do that at this point so much as that you can get companies that don't do that at a discount.

One way of determining if someone is right, is if the premise of the argument leads logically to he conclusion. Even before going into the details this video states that according to Buffet there is a common thread to all frauds, but in reality he presents several disparate narratives
If something looks too good to be true, it is false. That's the common thread. Titles on RUclips are not always formed by the speaker ... Editors make mistakes.
@davidfleischer 4407 I thought Buffet was actually saying that there’s a common set of cues he looks for and notices with fraudulent pitch men, versus just a single cue. Also, he obviously can’t state them publicly because it would tip off future fraudsters he may have pitching investment ideas to him. Remember, good fraudster watches and studies their target victim so they would be watching these videos too. So I believe Buffet’s main point is that in addition to there being a set of cues to look for, you MUST take time to learn them from experience and once learned, they’re reliable for helping to judge people’s character.
@@diddy103177 as explained in the other reply, the video from Buffet starts with a title that does not reflect the content of the video.

Always have to watch the carpet baggers that will sell their bill of goods to the board. They'll force out key people that built the company, eliminate R&D other than on paper, reduce maintenance below minimums, accept a lower quality of goods and service, add quantity sales incentives to reduce inventory, and layer in short term performance bonuses to pocket as much cash as possible. In about two years the company is faltering, customers are pissed, market share has been lost, no next product was developed to stay viable, and the carpet baggers are moving to their next company. Why just look at the way they turned their last three companies around and how poorly they did without their firm management hand. So yes, look at their management. Look where they have been and did they leave wreckage, destroying promising company after company in their wake. Odd thing is that college business classes teach them how to do it and, in fairly unethical "ethics" classes, how not to go to jail while doing it. Basically how to be a toxic corporate leach for fun and profit. A how to "get rich" rather than how to grow a healthy and profitable company. More: How to fake it until you can cash out.
Exactly How Carl Icahn got rich New York City, U.S. In the 1980s, Icahn developed a reputation as a "corporate raider" after profiting from the hostile takeover and asset stripping of Trans World Airlines. Icahn is on the Forbes 400 and has a net worth of approximately $17 billion to $24 billion.
Buffett wants to teach us but feels forced to answer these questions in purposefully vague ways. If he sees something, he should be able to say something without fearing consequences. We have some flaws in our system, which he believes prevent him from exposing fraud. Note also that he has more data about fraud investigation than ordinary people because the banks and insurance companies he invests in routinely face thousands of fraudulent claims and loan applications every year. It's a shame he believes he cannot share these lessons.
Buffett seems worried to broadcast to future fraudsters how he detects fraud for fear they will change their approach - and he said as much. But are you going to share your wisdom or not? You are not much good to anyone Warren, except your heirs, if you're afraid to teach.
The example you used is the Big Business variant of when a boss asked me to work for cash, off the books, "so you can make more money while drawing Unemployment, too."

Indeed. It got a bailout after hopping on the CountryWide Bank 2nd Mortgage media full-press blitz.

Buffet is no angel either !
This is funny
Hey guys, what about the old folks getting bullied into buying Kirby vacuum cleaners?
So Warren Buffet and Charlie auditioned for Fargo as Wade Gustafson and Stan Grossman??
I wonder if Warren Buffet ever considers the possibility that he's been blessed? I have known smart, hard-working people, who are poor.
He uses the word "lucky" a lot.
@@soulwailer3394 Oh, I didn't notice that. I thought he used the word, "lucky" once.
Sehr geil auch die schwachköpfige Werbung im Vorfeld des Videos… Fraud.
They owned Kirby vacuum division of The Scott Fetzer Company..........
What a unique individual. An American of acclaim who actually deserves the acclaim. A rarity these days. Guess that's the Midwest of old coming through.

The GOLDEN RULE TO BEING RICH ! THERE NO LAW AGAIST STEALING FOR THE POOR !
@The Richest Man In Babylon Easy look at the tax LAWS
Great example of what not to become.
Insurance against employee stealing money? That's a new one on me. It seems a lot easier to pull of than, say, arson.
Walmart was caught putting insurance policies on its senior citizen employees because they were counting on them dying soon and the company Walmart outlasting them. Talk about stealing.
Theft is pretty common for insurance policies. Should be a very straightforward claim. The company in the story was pulling obvious shenanigans.
One of the few that looked at, but declined to invest in Theranos.
Nah there were hundreds of millions, it was a public offering.
Anyone with two years of college in life sciences would know theranos was totally impossible. The whole thing was an inside job
"Easy money" "Like taking candy from a baby"
lack of work ethic means trouble down the line.
The Statler and Waldorf of capitalism...
This video could have been three minutes long.
These gentlemen remind me of Statler and Waldorf from the muppets.
Haven't heard that one before 🙄
He tells Charlie munger you tell them Charlie how we do it! That’s was suspicious in itself!
Nice, and he is partner with Jorge Paulo Lemman, Sicupira and Hermann😂😂😂
Three Frauds, these partners.
The odd part is , they ‘ve shown their true colors when they bought Anheuser Busch. A company with a mediocre product , tall order upon seizing it was to trim payroll massively. No word about improving a dog product , in expanding new beers. Just cut costs.
This so happened way before they bough J.Heinz.
And the worse part was, they claimed to have these tactics learned from their American Peers. Their arrogance was off the charts. This not being a footnote print in the Brazilian Business Press. It was on the page of the Wall Street Journal.
Now they are back again, this time around , for defrauding Brazilian investors and lenders. On the tune of billions with one of their subsidiaries.
Bernie Ebers couldn’t done better.
Did these guys ever pay dividends in their funds?
90% of humans are pretty much hot garbage. If you assume you're NOT likely to meet the relatively good 10%, then it's a lot easier to hang onto your money, sanity, and most importantly... your TIME.
and has buffett look in his mirror LATELY OR EVER LOOKED IN his mirror ???
Sounds like he's talking about bitcoin.
Warren could not explain it….
What happened in 2008 when so many lost their houses (that should have been covered by the banks)?
Many were bought by Berkshire, who made out like bandits.
Yes but did they cause the crash or simply take advantage of it?
@@hauntedhouse7827 they took advantage; my point is, that why were the banks allowed to call in the loans, when their own flakey investments were the cause !?
@@johnd7435 The president at the time was George Bush Jr. An incompetent little man so far in the bank's back pocket he could probably have doubled as a butt plug. He made the disastrous decision to bail out the banks then give the bankers immunity from prosecution rather than helping the struggling homeowners. However the homeowners themselves were not completely without blame, they did get into loans without doing their due diligence and forgetting that all important rule, if it sounds too good to be true it probably is. That is how i would put it anyway.
I wonder if Mr. Buffett has studied/critiqued the Packard purchase of Studebaker which occurred,I believe,in 1954 and greatly contributed to the extinction of the Packard Motor Car brand?
Studebaker was gone in about 7 years.
still chasing the dollar at their end of life .
The best time.
I see that Warren brought his sleestak to the shareholder's meeting again . . .
Statler and Waldorf (Muppets) just watching the show
Is that Dr Pepper 🥫🥫
Is this from the 90's?
It's from 30 years...
Yes, they are both well into their 90s
30 years ago- they look 90 in the video not 60.❤
Uhmm? A rather discombobulated bit of babbling! Best of luck!
Yup, it's all about deep pattern recognition.
God bless, Rev. 21:4
Means bitcoin jajaj
Pay your taxes, man.
Not the kind of advice his tax attorney would give him.
Like schumer pelosi
What a non answer… warren just kept rambling on the same two sentences until he handed it off to his buddy who gives an obviously flippant answer.
Trump often uses the phrase “getting away with murder” as if that were an admirable thing to be envied. I always remember this video when I hear Trump speak

Can anyone tell me why WB is still trying to earn so much at his age? How much of his wealth is he going to give to his children or benefitiaries? Is it logical to suggest he never spent more than 0.1% of his total wealth? So, why is he trying to leave behind more and more when he is already richest? Will this spoil his benefitiaries? Likewise, Munger
Have you ever worked at something you injoyed???
First of all they audit their books. A lot of stuff comes out when that happens.
pot calling the kettle black
Ask ole Warren why he can't keep employees on his railroad... they're quitting faster than than can hire them because he treats his workers like animals..
That's in the RR here too.🇨🇦
Only time l have heard Buffet slandered on Social Media. I assume you have proof of his despicable deeds beyond anecdotal bulls**t. Waiting patiently.
Bs
That's every business my friend
They said nothing.
Maybe you heard nothing (there's a difference)
@@vaughngaminghd They talk a lot and go in circles.
I gained nothing of value other than entertainment in the "exposing business frauds and deceptions" from all that was said.
But they are not suspissus of the Oil industry?
Says a lot of this guys.
