Despite his legendary stock-picking abilities, Warren Buffett remains a staunch supporter of index funds. He favors them over most other investing options. The Oracle of Omaha even said he's instructed the trustee in charge of his estate to invest 90 percent of his money into the S&P 500 for his wife after he dies, Buffett told CNBC's Becky Quick in an exclusive interview on"Squawk Box" on Monday. "There's been no better bet than America," he says.
Index funds are a form of passive investing. They hold every stock in an index such as the S&P 500, which includes big-name companies such as Apple, Microsoft and Google, and they offer low turnover rates, so fees and taxes tend to be low as well. var mps=mps||{}; mps._queue=mps._queue||{}; mps._queue.gptloaded=mps._queue.gptloaded||[]; mps._queue.gptloaded.
A major benefit of index funds is that they're low-cost. That's because they don't require much effort to manage: You just purchase the index and let it do its thing instead of following, buying and selling shares in particular companies. Index funds are also tax efficient because they don't require much trading. Managers are"not constantly buying and selling within that fund," Holeman says.
MakeIt Watch what they do, not what they say.
MakeIt He doesn’t trust his company to run his money?
MakeIt I like you guys at CNBC, but if you repeat this story that’s been around for years, I’m going to scream. Everyone knows what he’s going to leave his wife and the fact he’s high on VOO. Please move on.
MakeIt Screw up the markets while your alive.
MakeIt He did not say that. He said his wife's money. His stock is all going to charity.
MakeIt Idiot can't let his wealth go even after he is gone! Pathetic really.
MakeIt Don't worry Warren someone will grab them before you done

MakeIt No use to anyone when the world ends.
MakeIt The one quote by Warren most taken out of context. What he has said consistently is that 'if you don't know what you're doing' then buy an index fund. OK sure, but funny how the indexers choose to skip that or the fact that Warren currently buys companies and not ETFs.jimcramer

MakeIt Let me guess - short $SPY
