the point you make there is a big point is a reaction to warren buffett and his crony capitalists and the bailouts of two thousand and eight so they don't want to admit that they don't want to even examine that they don't want to come down. there are pedestal of crony capitalism and free money from central banks to address that so they attack crypto as a way it's a rear guard action you know they're trying to attack crypto as much as they can to prevent the torches and the and the and the rioters and the pitchforks from going down there to omaha and taking revenge out on these guys but another thing is these two do not like competition they've existed in a world where they get to play their little banjo and pretend that they're sweet guys and they they've become multibillionaires just because well most trillionaire is because they're so sweet and just like sweet guys and they've competed their way to the top but the system of this collusion from the central banks and the new york fed him all these regulators that help them out and they help each other is the system is rigged it's ever

warren buffett wrapping up a weekend with 40,000 berkshire hathaway shareholders. becky quick spent the morning with him she joins us live from omaha >> it's great to see you guys today. one of the first things people always want to know when we talk to warren buffett is what he thinks about stocks, so we asked him. for months buffett's been signaling he didn't think stocks were a great place to be or at least it wasn't a great pricing for him if he was looking to buy entire companies he's got over $100 billion in cash on hand he's been sitting on this money, wishing he had some place better to put his money alas, he thinks most these big deals he's been offered have been overprized by 15% to 20%. however, when it comes to individual investor, people who don't do this for a living, he thinks the stock market is actually a great place to be, even now, even given some of these valuations that's because in large part he still thinks that for individual investor, stocks are a much better place to be than it would be to, say, put your money in u.s. treasury bonds. >> no

last night, joe, we caught up with warren buffett. he made some news on berkshire hathaway's apple investment. we asked him what he thought about apple's most recent quarter. here's what he had to say. >> there are surprises it is an unbelievable company. if you look at apple, it earns almost twice as much as the second profitable company in the united states. it's a wide, wide gap. i mean, it's an amazing business here is a company that's whatever the earnings are, $60 billion or whatever. and you could put all their products on a dining room table. i mean, that's not the way it used to be in this country we don't own it for the next quarter. it is incredible to me how you read the investor calls after reports. or you read all the analyst reports and they talk about what it is next year. nobody buys a farm based on whether they think it's going to rain next year or not. the relevant question when you're looking at buying part of a business is where's it going to be in 10 or 20 years? it may be you don't know the idea of spending load

buffett covering everything from aple to wells fargo, berkshire's warren buffett sitting down for a three-hour special with our own becky quick. morning, becky what were some of the highlights to you >> good morning. one of the first things that people always want to hear from warren buffett is what he thinks about stocks we asked him about that. he's been clear in recent months he thinks stocks are fairly expensive if you are looking to buy an entire company. like he tends to do from time to time that's why he still has about $100 billion or so in cash sitting around if you are an individual investor, somebody who does not do this for a living, he thinks that stocks are much better place to be putting your money than u.s. treasury bond. >> now you have a situation, the federal reserve says they want inflation at 2%. so they say they're going to try and devalue that bond by 2% a year in the dollar terms and it's almost always equities have been a better buy and certainly if you're going to put away money over time when you're younger, you can buy stocks over a considerable period of

our special guest is warren buffett. so many things we've talked about this morning and over the weekend, one issue is just the economy. i know you said last week it's picked up steam. what numbers do you see, what are the things that run there u your head in determining the berkshire economic index >> yeah. i see a lot of numbers and i get them pretty fast i mean, in general it's pretty strong you could look at railroad cart loadings, for example, every week they come out on wednesday and you could see them by category 22 different categories. i think matt rose may have mentioned that the other day and they're carrying stuff because people are buying stuff. and you see it -- and you're seeing some inflation connect with some of this. but you see it in some building material we've seen it particularly in electronic components. we have an operation most people probably don't even know anything about called tti. and it carries close to a million different types or any one of a million items from us they're very small peopl

warren buffett proposed an uber investment earlier this year. offered $3to have billion, but the talks did not lead anywhere. joining us now is eric newcomer who broke the story. was this uber reaching out or warren buffett offering on his own? >> this was a serious twotiation between the post-softbank deal in january. they were discussing back-and-forth different configurations and deal sizes. more than $3me in billion and centered around that number. there is talk on uber side of lowering the number. the proposed deal offers very favorable terms to buffet. that was the concern on the air uber size. julia: warren buffett is known for being pretty widely in these situations. we saw that in the financial crisis. it does cost and make great returns for him. >> it is funny because the financial crisis was this global disaster. this was a disaster of uber's own making. by the time they are having serious conversations with warren buffett, they already had the new ceo in september and softbank had come to the table. the belief was we are turning the

what can we learn from warren buffett? let's start with the obvious the greatest investor of our time maybe the greatest who has ever lived. at least until we saw president trump's tweet about a decision on the iran deal and we gave up most of our gains. but look, if we get hit with a sell off caused by negotiations with iran, this is the pullback that makes buffet want to buy stock hand over fist buffet is an old fashion guy, he believes in progress and he believes in america. so when we hear him speak like in his fantastic interview this morning in the wake of the berkshire hathaway annual meeting, he extentends to be a reassuring voice by the way, if you missed becky's new documentary about warren buffett, you can catch it right after the show tonight 7:00 eastern sure, he has made mistakes, but nobody is perfect. besides buffet has far more winners than losers. he knows that failure is a better teacher than success. now it is one thing to make a mistake that actually makes you money, but something else to miss out an i

it's encouraging to me as a lifelong investor to know that warren buffett has the same kind of fears that i have the signal that he has given us here is one that i take very seriously, which is that the tech industry is no longer the crazy, wild west situation it was, say, 10 years ago i think he legitimately feared an industry where change was so rapid that it was hard to anticipate what would happen next but i think for a variety of reasons, the major tech companies had reached a level of dominance that, frankly, looks like the rest of the company there really is no competitive threat to apple, google, amazon, even microsoft and from his point of view, i think the whole sector looks like the rest of the economy and i think everyone should look at it that way unless there's a change in anti-trust regulation, unless there are other changes in regulation that affect this industry, it's going to go forward the way it is today. and the success or failure of these companies is really going to drive the return opportunity in the space because it's very hard for new things to get going. >>
