Warren Buffett Retires At 95: Key Principles That Shaped The Greatest Modern Investor

As Warren Buffett retires on 31 December 2025, the end of an extraordinary investing career invites a closer look at the principles that shaped more than six decades of market success. From navigating booms and crashes to building Berkshire Hathaway into one of the most valuable companies in the world, Buffett’s approach was rooted in patience, discipline and long-term thinking. This video traces Buffett’s evolution — from exploiting market mispricing early in his career to embracing the power of compounding by owning great businesses for the long run. It explores his famous philosophy of staying calm during market panic, acting decisively during downturns, and avoiding the temptation of constant trading. It also examines the influence of Charlie Munger, whose insistence on buying quality businesses at fair prices reshaped Berkshire’s strategy, and Buffett’s rare admissions about the cost of missed opportunities.
