Warren Buffett: Why 95% of "Hot Stocks" Are Just Expensive Lottery Tickets

After 70 years of watching market hype cycles burn out, Warren Buffett shares why chasing "hot stocks" is the fastest way to turn your portfolio into an expensive lesson in market psychology.

In this deeply personal talk, the Oracle of Omaha dismantles the excitement-driven investing that Wall Street profits from, using real stories from his own mistakes (yes, even Buffett has made plenty) and the timeless principles that have guided him through seven decades of bubbles, crashes, and speculation frenzies.

Learn why excitement is the enemy of rational investing, how to distinguish between a lottery ticket and a piece of a business, and why paying attention to price—not hype—is the only sustainable path to wealth.
