- Dec 31 is Warren Buffett's last day as CEO of Berkshire Hathaway - He started in 1965 with the stock at $19; today it's up 3,950,000% to $750,000 per share 5 Buffet quotes to ponder - “Rule No. 1 is never lose money. Rule No. 2 is never forget Rule No. 1.” -“The most important thing to do if you find yourself in a hole is to stop digging.” - “Price is what you pay, value is what you get.” - “Risk comes from not knowing what you are doing.” - “Today, people who hold cash equivalents feel comfortable. They shouldn’t. They have opted for a terrible long-term asset, one that pays virtually nothing and is certain to depreciate in value.”

Right before the end of the year, something caught my attention in the commodity markets. Usually, I am not a big fan of commodities as I ​only invest when there's a commodity super cycle. However, silver has gone up 160% in the last 12 months ​ Why is that? Jan 1 2026 - China is implementing an export license (as a method to control) silver exports. This applies to silver and other precious metals that tech companies need. This would directly target data centers, chips, and electronics. ​Right now, we are seeing a mad rush to purchase silver right before the export control becomes effective on January 1 2026. ​However, as an investor, I don't think it is worth it to jump into silver right now because these policies can change on a whim. For example, China can come out tomorrow and say the export contorl is delayed or it is not as bad as we imagined. ​ But it is important to keep track of this export license control because it might impact the profitability of tech companies (which means the overall market might go down)​​ Cheers, Eric ---- Eric Seto Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA) Chartered Investment Manager (CIM) Founder of 5MinInvesting.com In January, my goal is to help 25 people without a financial background to master investing through Investing Accelerator.
