Warren Buffett isn’t convinced the tech industry can continue to grow – and perhaps we shouldn’t be, either

The Independent  

When Warren Buffett says something, even investors who do not agree with him sit up and listen. So the Oracle of Omaha’s annual letter to shareholders ranks only behind his annual meeting of Berkshire Hathaway as a moment to ponder about the next directions of the world of assets. On a long view, since 1965, he has beaten the index, with a compounded annual gain of more than 20 per cent, vis-a-vis one of 10 per cent for the S&P. Look at the job losses in the banks, or the switch to card and contactless payments – American Express is one of Berkshire Hathaway’s largest holdings. But whatever one’s view of Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger, what they do is to encapsulate huge global investment puzzles in a few choice words.
