The legendary investor recently opened up about several defining aspects of his life and philosophy. His approach to parenting emphasizes teaching financial discipline and independence rather than wealth accumulation. Beyond the markets, he's known for his unconventional hobby—horse racing betting—which he views as a pursuit requiring similar analytical skills to investing: probability assessment, risk management, and disciplined decision-making. Perhaps most notably, he's made a deliberate choice to step back from political commentary in recent years. After decades of weighing in on policy matters, he's shifted focus toward his core expertise: long-term wealth creation and capital allocation. This evolution reflects a broader maturity in how influential figures approach public discourse—recognizing the limits of their influence outside their domain of mastery. For investors, his emphasis on staying within one's circle of competence and avoiding the noise of political cycles offers a timeless lesson in maintaining investment discipline.

This guy really gets it. Knowing when to cut losses is not just an investment principle; in political commentary, you also need to know when to shut up...

Honestly, it's really impressive. Even Musk has started playing Mars, and now it’s linked to probability and risk control. Truly treating everything as an investment.

Really, knowing your boundaries is more important than anything else... This guy can make money even betting on horse races, and the key is his set of probabilistic thinking. Most of us in crypto trading just lack this.

Wow, this guy really gets it. Not many investors can control themselves from making random political comments.

Don't gamble on politics, bet on horses. This old guy is really sharp. Don't talk nonsense about things outside the circle. Focus on what you're good at—that's true wisdom.

It's that same old rhetoric of "knowing your own strength," sounds nice... but is betting on horse races really the same as investing? I can't tell.
