'Tis a Monday, not much going on. These United States of America has just ended its stock rally. Today marks the 9th day after extreme volatility. There are truly no surprising stories.

All I can comment on that may carry any sinificance is regarding $BRK.A (+1.72%) . Mr, Warren Buffett is retiring and has been presenting his economic worldview with us. Mr. Buffett is hoping on global peace and prosperity.

Mr. Warren Buffett is stepping down as CEO of Berkshire Hathaway. Upon these news, $BRK.A (+1.72%) melancholically increased.

The 2025 Annual Berkshire Hathaway shareholder meeting took place in Omaha, Nebraska yesterday (on Saturday) 04.05.2025.

I "was" there by watching all of the reporting at home, at the gym, before going to sleep, after waking up, once again at the gym, and then before recording an extensive summary. I do not care too much about Berkshire Hathaway as a business specifically, mainly because the company never intends to pay dividends (which is great for some investors).

I am very interested in what Warren Buffett has to say. His career alone is 3x my lifetime.

In my admiration for Mr. Buffett and MY LOVE FOR THE GAME, I decided to record a brief summary of Warren Buffett's public opinions in 2025.

You can see my video below. Let me know what you think and please comment your thoughts. My goal is to make investing as transparent as possible. This also means that I want to nurture direct conversation amongst you.
