      🌟🌟🌟Warren Buffett 's Most Famous Counterintuitive Truth is "Be Greedy When Others Are Fearful".  While many investors may shy away from the markets in times of widespread panic,  Warren Buffett's famous adage urges the opposite. This means when the markets are bearish and stock prices plummet , the best opportunities arise for those who are calm enough to see value where others see disaster. Warren Buffett's strategy is built on the idea that market over reactions create substantial buying opportunities.  His success shows that a little fear can create a deep well of opportunity for disciplined long term investors. Thank you Warren Buffett for this pearl of wisdom which I believe in and try to practise.  It takes courage and patience to do so.

      The Birthday Paradox has always intrigued me—especially how Warren Buffett used it to win a bet. At first, it seems unlikely that in a group of 25 people, two would share a birthday, but the math shows a 57% chance. It’s a great example of how our intuition often fails when dealing with probability. This kind of thinking error appears often in the stock market. Many believe a stock that has dropped 50% is unlikely to fall further, but if fundamentals worsen, another 20% drop is very possible. Markets respond to present conditions, not past price movements—just like a coin toss has no memory. One of the best lessons I’ve learned from Buffett is the power of independent thinking and patience.

      I would choose dinner with trump. Spending money with buffet has no additional value except the honour of eating with someone who has high yields from his investments. Dinning with trump has the honour of dining with the US president who is otherwise commonly known as the most powerful man on earth. On top of that, he might share valuable insider news that could help me make money. This is based on a big assumption that he keeps his word. He is known to be flippant and could change his mind quickly. I can only hope he will honour his words for that short moment for me to make a quick profit. If he doesn’t appear, getting a trump NFT might be a sufficient enough investment [Happy] @Success88

      Trump Dinner vs. Buffett Lunch: Which Would You Choose?

      Last week, Trump announced what he claimed to be the “world’s most exclusive invitation”: the top 220 buyers of the Trump Coin ($TRUMP) would be invited to a private dinner with the President on May 22.This brings to mind the annual Warren Buffett lunch that used to take place around this time each year.In 2022, an anonymous buyer paid $19 million for the final opportunity to have lunch with Buffett. The auction was started by Buffett’s late wife Susan in 2000 and was held annually, with proceeds totaling $50 million donated to foundations supporting the homeless, the poor, and other vulnerable groups.The winner of the auction could invite up to seven guests to dine with Buffett at Smith & Wollensky steakhouse in Manhattan, New York, and discuss investment-related topics.

      If I had to choose between dining with Warren Buffett or Donald Trump, I’d go with Buffett. While Trump’s dinner promises more flash—like the VIP reception and “Golden Palace” tour—I value substance over show. Buffett’s wisdom and long-term investment thinking offer far more meaningful takeaways, even without discussing his next big move. Trump’s event might appeal to those chasing exclusivity or crypto hype, but the disclaimer that he “may be unable to attend” makes it feel more like a marketing ploy. Replacing a missed dinner with an NFT doesn’t exactly build trust or credibility. Buffett has earned respect through decades of consistency and sound judgment. Even if much of his thinking is already in his letters, a personal conversation would still be more valuable than the unpredictable

      Buffett’s lunch offers timeless wisdom rooted in fundamentals—compounding, value, patience. Trump’s dinner? A high-stakes table where policy hints and market-moving rhetoric are on the menu. As a trader, I choose Trump: not for ideology, but for real-time signals that could tilt sectors overnight. Insight is gold—but timing is platinum.

      The choice between a meal with Donald Trump or Warren Buffett hinges on personal priorities and the type of insights one seeks: Donald Trump: A dinner with Trump could offer a unique perspective on branding, media strategy, and his approach to business and politics. His controversial but influential career could lead to intriguing discussions, particularly for those interested in understanding his methods and public persona. Warren Buffett: Dining with Buffett would likely be a masterclass in investment philosophy, financial markets, and long-term wealth-building strategies. Known for his humility and wisdom, Buffett’s guidance could provide practical, enduring value for anyone interested in finance or business.

It’s the kind of conversation that could shape not just your portfolio, but your worldview. • Timeless Financial Wisdom: You’ll hear directly from a man who turned $10,000 into over $100 billion through discipline, temperament, and deep analysis. • Investment Philosophy: From intrinsic value to margin of safety, he can walk you through concepts that separate speculators from successful investors. • Life Lessons: Buffett often emphasizes not just money, but how to choose mentors, build integrity, and compound good decisions over a lifetime. Unlike Trump, Buffett doesn’t trade in controversy, market manipulation or bluff. But what he offers is self-promotion, bankrupt Wisdom. Wo

      Take note that the $TRUMP dinner invitation terms include a disclaimer that “President Trump may be unable to attend’. It may turns out to be a meeting among the top 220 buyers of the $TRuMP on 22 May 2025. This itself looks attractive to me because it is a good chance to meet 219 likeminded crypto investors. On the other hand, bringing 7 guests to lunch with Buffett at Smith & Wollensky steakhouse (costing <$100) in New York is a good charitable act, with millions of dollars donated to foundations supporting the homeless, the poor, and other vulnerable groups.
