Berkshire Hathaway recently held an annual meeting. If you are not familiar with it, Berkshire Hathaway is essentially a company that owns other companies and benefits from its profits. The choice of other companies is based on the selection and investigation of Buffett (and his team). Every year he writes annual letters to shareholders and often includes investment advice that others can use for their own benefit and should be used. This special quote came from his letter from 2004.
