Warren Buffett kicked himself for not inventing Airbnb, which filed to go public this week: 'I wish I'd thought of it'

JPMorgan pinpoints the triggers for a bond sell-off that can cause unusually large losses in everything from stocks to gold — and lays out how to be ready for it

However, Buffett is probably happy for Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky, who counts the investor among his mentors. When Chesky flew to Omaha to have lunch with Buffett in 2014, the pair spoke for more than four hours.

The Airbnb chief was struck by the lack of distractions in Buffett's life. "There's no TVs anywhere," he told Fortune. "He spends all day reading. He takes maybe one meeting a day, and he thinks so deeply."at a previous lunch with Buffett and Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos. "Nobody wants to get rich slow," Buffett replied when Bezos asked why everyone doesn't just copy his long-term investing approach.

Buffet is buying gold. Something he used to talk against. Probably because the economy is about to have its ass fall out.

Yea, I kicked myself for that, too. That, and not inventing Uber.

Airbnb was created out of necessity to generate rent, that was an immediate problem for the founders.
