Warren Buffett’s Worst Investment Ever Made!

00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,560
What would you consider to be the 
worst investment you’ve ever made?  

00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:10,760
The worst investment I ever made? How long 
do you have? I’ve made some very bad ones,  

00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:14,600
but that doesn’t really bother me. 
Yeah, it may bother the shareholders,  

00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:19,800
but that’s another question. You know, 
you’re going to make mistakes in life.

00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:22,880
I mean, there’s no question about it. You 
don’t want to make them on the big decisions,  

00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:25,480
you know, who you marry and some 
things like that. So there’s no  

00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:29,200
way I’m going to make a lot of business 
and investment decisions without making  

00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:33,560
some mistakes. I may try to minimize 
them. I don’t dwell on them at all.

00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:38,680
I don’t look back. The biggest mistakes are the 
ones that actually don’t show up. They’re the  

00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:44,880
mistakes of omission rather than commission. We’ve 
never lost that much money on any one investment.  

00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:52,040
But it’s the things that I knew enough to do that 
I didn’t do. We have missed profits of as much as,  

00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:56,520
you know, maybe $10 billion in things 
that I knew enough to do and I didn’t do.
