There is a unique phenomenon in the global investment circle: one person's 60-year dedication has turned the annual report into a lecture hall.



Since taking over Berkshire in 1965, he has been writing letters to investors every year, and this habit has never been interrupted. In 1973, he held the first shareholder meeting in Omaha, which at that time had only a few dozen people; by the end of 2025, on the eve of his retirement, this annual gathering had attracted tens of thousands of pilgrims.

Sixty years of annual shareholder letters may seem to be about business operations, but in fact, they are about how to maintain composure in a restless market. Each letter reiterates a single point: long-term thinking, the power of compound interest, and the essence of value investing. This "daily-like annual update" has long transcended the scope of financial reports and has become a symbol of investment culture.

Honestly, writing letters continuously for 60 years without a break is truly impressive in terms of execution. Anyone else would not be able to withstand this kind of monotony, but they just did it this way.

60 years of consistency, this is true compound interest. The market is so volatile, yet he still talks about the long term.

60 years of consistency—this is the true first-mover advantage. While others are still chasing the hot spots, they have already established an investment culture as their commanding height.

60 years just to teach people not to panic, this guy really treats "steadfastness" as a belief to sell

Wow, 60 years. The perseverance is truly incredible. Just imagining having to write a letter every year gives me a headache.

A letter every 60 years—that's what true compound interest is. It's much more reliable than those get-rich-quick stories in the crypto world.

This is true faith. Staying unwavering for 60 years, while others are still chasing the trend, we've already achieved compound interest long ago.
