@Ronitper Competition is the law of life. Strong passion/interest in something gives an edge to those who have it.

@Ronitper He stuck to his quote…only takes a moment to ruin the reputation you spent a lifetime to build….

The fallout of Warren Buffet and Bill Gates.
Bill Gates was missing from the Berkshire Hathaway’s annual meeting held on 2nd May 2026 i.e. yesterday.
It’s the first time since many decades when Bill was not seen at the Berkshire Meeting.
Let’s look at the key events in Buffett and Gates friendship and what happened after Epstein files:
The Bond: Met in 1991, bonded over business logic and bridge. Gates became a Berkshire board member (until 2020) and Buffett’s closest advisor.
The Funding: Since 2006, Buffett donated over $47 billion to the Gates Foundation, making him its largest contributor.
The Trigger: The 2026 release of the "Epstein Files" by the DOJ revealed Gates’ associations with Jeffrey Epstein persisted long after Epstein’s 2008 conviction.
The Fallout: Buffett, a staunch defender of his "front-page-of-the-newspaper" reputation, distanced himself immediately. He reportedly hasn't spoken to Gates since the disclosures, citing a misalignment of values.
The Financial Pivot: Cutting Ties: Buffett has halted his massive annual contributions to the Gates Foundation.
The New Legacy: He has revised his will to redirect his remaining $100 Billion fortune into a new trust managed by his three children, Susie, Howard, and Peter, stripping the Gates Foundation of its future windfall.
Buffett being a staunch advocate of clean reputation hopefully will cut ties with Gates permanently…

How a Rs. 50,000 AUM Fund, Nalanda Capital thinks:
“Remember, the richest people in the world owned one good business for generations without selling a share. I
get to own a whole basket of good businesses. Lucky me. I better not jinx it.”
“I have got a good deal on a business with low risk, tons of cash and wide moat, what’s the dumbest thing I can do? Give it up. Smartest thing? Give it time. Lots of time.”
- by Anand Sridharan (Partner at Nalanda Capital)

@PrakritiV48455 Maybe yes. else he’s sane enough to switch to something else if it hadn’t worked. Also TVS and Murugappa grp has been one of the top performers of last decade.

@Ronitper But did he get compensated enough for the additional geographic and concentration risks he took???

I have listened to him. With all the EU rules changing, I have a house in India which is fully owned by mother (which I bought for her). After that I invested heavily on index funds, currently sitting on 150% return on the apartment, 87% on my Index portfolio.

Rakesh Jhujhunwala believed that first you should buy a house, till then equities should be zero. “Every couple in India shall buy a house first. Equity should be zero. After that by age of 45-50 you can be 80% in Equities.” Quite insightful.
