Warren Buffett says this book changed his life forever. Here's the real key to long-term gains
Moneywise and Yahoo Finance LLC may earn commission or revenue through links in the content below. Warren Buffett is one of the most renowned investors of our time. So, it's easy to forget that he was once a beginner too. Buffett claims he bought his first stock at age 11, then spent eight years focusing on stock price movements instead of studying the underlying companies. Don't miss Thanks to Jeff Bezos, you can now become a landlord for as little as $100 — and no, you don't have to deal with tenants or fix freezers. Here's how I'm 49 years old and have nothing saved for retirement — what should I do? Don't panic. Here are 5 of the easiest ways you can catch up (and fast) You don't have to be a millionaire to gain access to this $1B private real estate fund. In fact, you can get started with as little as $10 — here's how 'I had the whole wrong idea,' Buffett said in a 2022 interview with journalist Charlie Rose. 'I thought the important thing was to predict what a stock would do and predict the stock market.' But when Buffett was 19 or 20 years old, he read a book that would change his perspective forever: 'The Intelligent Investor' by Benjamin Graham. Instead of charting stocks or "stock picking," Graham advocated for the valuation of underlying companies. He theorized that stock prices eventually follow a company's financial performance. This simple philosophy shifted Buffett's view on investing forever. 'I realized that I was doing it exactly the wrong way,' Buffett said. 'I rejiggered my mind when I read the book.' This philosophy has worked for Buffett, but not everyone has time to read 500 pages of financial analysis a day. Here are three ways to level up your investing depending on how much time you have. Do your research Buffett once famously said that he reads 500 pages a day. While this might not be what every investor needs to do, you should think about spending more time with news and analysis from reputable sources. Buffett's approach favors analysis based on understanding the companies you're investing in, their industry, and the forces impacting their potential for growth. However, technical analysis — focusing on the numbers — also has a place for the modern investor. When you learn to balance both data and investment philosophy, you'll be well on your way to becoming a savvy market player. In short: where you get your stock market info from matters. With Moby, you can get advice from expert former hedge fund analysts, with a 30-day money-back guarantee. In four years, across almost 400 stock picks, Moby's recommendations have beaten the S&P 500 by almost 12% on average. Moby's team spends hundreds of hours sifting through financial news and data to provide you with stock and crypto reports delivered straight to you. Their research keeps you up-to-the-minute on market shifts and can help you reduce the guesswork behind choosing stocks and ETFs. Plus, their reports are easy to understand for beginners, so you can become a smarter investor in just five minutes. Trust the experts Aside from doing your own research, it can pay to invest in professional advice. Even Buffett surrounded himself with knowledgeable advisors at Berkshire Hathaway. Everyone has areas of expertise, but no one knows everything. With this in mind, an expert advisor can help you raise your game. As Buffett once said, 'Pick out associates whose behavior is better than yours and you'll drift in that direction.' 'In looking for people to hire, you look for three qualities: integrity, intelligence, and energy. And if they don't have the first, the other two will kill you.' If you're unsure which path to take amid today's market uncertainty, it might be a good time to connect with a financial advisor through This online platform connects you with vetted financial advisors best suited to help you develop a plan for your new wealth. Just answer a few quick questions about yourself and your finances and the platform will match you with an experienced financial professional.

"In my view, for most people, the best thing to do is own the S&P 500 index fund,' Buffett once said. "The trick is not to pick the right company. The trick is to essentially buy all the big companies through the S&P 500 and to do it consistently and to do it in a very, very low-cost way.' A passive approach might not produce spectacular wins, but it can be a low-risk option for the investor who is simply looking to build a reliable nest egg for retirement.

The realities of enterprise AI deployments, with Amazon Web Services VP Francessca Vasquez
On this episode of the GeekWire Podcast, we dive into enterprise AI adoption with Francessca Vasquez, a vice president at Amazon Web Services who leads its work with enterprise customers through the AWS Professional Services Group and the AWS Generative AI Innovation Center. Vasquez shares insights from more than 1,000 customer engagements across industries, explaining how companies are moving from AI experiments to deployments. We discuss the rise of AI agents, the challenges businesses face in scaling AI initiatives, and why some industries are surprising everyone with their pace of innovation. We also discuss specific examples including Yahoo Finance's multi-agent news analysis system, the PGA Tour's AI-powered real-time golf commentary, Formula 1's root cause analyzer for troubleshooting race-day issues, and Jabil's shop floor assistant for manufacturing employees. Listen below, or subscribe in any podcast app, and keep reading for highlights. On the rapid pace of AI evolution: 'The pace of innovation right now for generative and agentic AI is just a lot faster than what I've ever seen in my career. I couldn't tell you what are things going to look like in 12 to 18 months. That's how fast things are moving.' Industries adopting AI faster than expected: 'If you had asked me 24 months ago, did I think one industry would really just be leading in adoption, I probably would have said, just look at all of your digital native companies… I would have been wrong. … We've seen a lot of innovation happening in financial services. We've seen a lot happening in manufacturing and healthcare.' On moving from proof of concept to production: 'The only way you get to value is by actually putting things into production. … Of these same companies that were doing experiments or proof of concepts a year ago, only about 30% of them actually got into production. With the work that we do, we've been able to increase that well over 50%.' What makes for successful enterprise AI deployments: 'These things still require having very good leadership conviction. The companies that may be progressing further, they've got a leadership team who believes in the pace of technology, or they've got senior technical thought leaders on their board. That makes a very big difference.' Beyond the technology: 'How [companies] think about their culture and their people, that becomes a huge differentiator for both talent development and attraction. … It's more than just the technology of models and latency and tokens. It's also about the people and the culture and what experiences you want.' On AI agents and the future of work: 'I expect that any organization that's offering consulting services, they will all have to have some level of generative AI and agentic AI in their workflows — all of them, every last one of them.'
