My Investments and Returns: April 2024 - March 2025

  My Investments and Returns: April 2024 - March 2025 The Ground Rules Alright, folks, I’ve borrowed some of Warren Buffett’s genius ground rules from his famous letters—like borrowing your rich uncle’s best suit! I’m serving his wisdom with a sprinkle of my own goofy charm. Why? Because if you’re going to copy, go for the guy who buys companies like I buy snacks! Get ready for simple, Buffett-style tips that’ll make you feel like a money wizard—or at least fool your friends into thinking you are.
