Warren Buffett Claims He ‘Killed The Dow' Investing ‘Peanuts' – And Says Not Having Much Money Is ‘A Huge Structural Advantage'
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42115069/warren-buffett-is-set-to-collect-776-million-in-coca-cola-dividends-but-daughter-says-his-wife-buys-him-the-soda-on-sale">Warren Buffett</a> once said he could make 50% a year with a small sum of money and he didn't just mean it as a throwaway line to impress anyone. He was dead serious.
He backed it up with his track record from the 1950s, when he regularly earned returns that would make most investors today wonder if they've been doing it all wrong. He called it a "huge structural advantage to not have a lot of money" – a concept that flips the usual narrative.

<li>Can you guess how many Americans successfully retire with $1,000,000 saved?<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/1milsaved"> The percentage may shock you</a>.</li>
<li><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/are-you-rich">Are you rich?</a> Here&#8217;s what Americans think you need to be considered wealthy.</li>
</ul>
In a now-famous 1999 interview with Businessweek, Buffett explained that managing a smaller amount allowed him to be nimble, find undervalued opportunities others overlooked and move quickly without the weight of billions slowing him down. "I killed the Dow," he said, referring to the kind of outperformance he achieved while investing in what he described as "peanuts." If he were managing $1 million, he said, he could guarantee a 50% annual return. And no, that's not a typo – he said guarantee.
But his comments aren't just a "flex." His words are a window into a mindset smaller investors today can adopt if they're willing to think differently. Buffett has long emphasized that extraordinary results don't come from buying what everyone else is chasing or holding on to expensive stocks, hoping time will work its magic. In his early years, he followed a strict value-investing approach, buying stocks trading well below their intrinsic value and selling them as soon as they hit fair value. Rinse and repeat. It wasn't flashy, but it was effective.

For context, Buffett isn't saying this strategy is easy, nor is it for the faint of heart. At a Berkshire Hathaway meeting, he explained that the key to earning those returns isn't just having a small sum to work with – loving the process is essential. "You've got to find it like a biologist looks for something because they want to find something. It's built-in." In other words, you must be obsessed with searching for great opportunities, not just focused on the money.
Still, Buffett's comments highlight an advantage small investors have that large institutions like Berkshire Hathaway simply can't replicate.&nbsp;
Today, Berkshire manages over <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/11/41747587/buffett-amasses-a-325-billion-cash-pile-halts-berkshire-buybacks">$325 billion in cash and equivalents – </a>a massive amount that's both a blessing and a curse. While that cash pile gives Berkshire a significant margin of safety, it also limits the opportunities Buffett and his team can pursue. They're too big to move quickly and most investments small enough to generate huge returns wouldn't dent Berkshire's bottom line. Buffett himself admitted, "I don't think anyone sitting at this table has any idea how to use it effectively and therefore we don't use it."
Trending: Warren Buffett once said, "If you don't find a way to make money while you sleep, you will work until you die."<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/warren-buffet-make-money-when-you-sleep"> Here&#8217;s how you can earn passive income with just $100.</a>
But if you're a smaller investor, you don't have that problem. You don't need to worry about <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/04/38275323/warren-buffett-warns-dont-watch-the-market-closely-urges-not-to-obsessively-check-stock-prices-i">moving markets or finding billion-dollar opportunities</a>. Instead, you can focus on niche opportunities, undervalued small-cap stocks or other areas where big institutions can't or won't play.&nbsp;
The challenge is to think differently – not just from the market but even from other so-called value investors. Too many people slap the "value" label on themselves but end up overpaying for popular companies or hugging the S&amp;P 500 in disguise.&nbsp;
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/can-you-guess-how-many-americans-successfully-retire-with-1-million-saved">A good advisor</a> can help determine if an active investing approach – as Buffett describes – makes sense for your goals and risk tolerance. More importantly, they can ensure you don't make <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/03/37589669/warren-buffett-explains-the-stock-doesnt-know-you-own-it-stocks-cant-love-you-back-and-your-feel">emotional or uninformed decisions</a>, which is where most individual investors tend to go wrong.&nbsp;

Marathon Holdings (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MARA#NASDAQ">MARA</a>) CEO, Fred Thiel believes Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) will not see the volatility of the past years, citing multiple factors <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42096519/bitcoin-to-reach-190000-this-cycle-michael-terpin-of-transform-group-says">for his hypothesis</a>.
What Happened: In an appearance on CNBC's Street Signs <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WaFF2snJJrU">show</a> on Monday, Thiel noted that the cryptocurrency&#8217;s recent momentum stems from increasing institutional interest, favourable political signals and strategic investments rather than traditional factors like the halving.
Thiel highlighted how the launch of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42165734/bitcoin-etfs-registered-record-312-billion-net-inflows-last-week">Bitcoin ETFs</a> earlier this year initially attracted retail investors, but institutions, including pension funds and corporations, soon followed, pouring capital into Bitcoin-related equities.
Political support, notably from president-elect Donald Trump&#8216;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42122348/trumps-planned-crypto-council-may-oversee-bitcoin-reserve-report">pro-Bitcoin stance</a> emphasizing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/41770352/bitcoins-future-under-president-elect-donald-trump-a-look-at-his-crypto-policies">U.S.-based mining and Bitcoin reserves</a>, has amplified optimism for a favourable regulatory environment. 
Thiel believes these developments may drive other nations to adopt similar strategies, boosting <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42170734/robert-kiyosaki-trump-will-make-america-richer-again-by-being-the-first-bitcoin-president">Bitcoin&#8217;s long-term potential.</a>
Market demand remains strong, with long-term holders liquidating some positions for profit being offset by institutional and retail buying. 
Companies like MicroStrategy (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>) and others have aggressively purchased Bitcoin, supported by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42138209/microstrategy-trading-at-insane-256-premium-to-bitcoin-holdings-research-shows">billion-dollar bonds at low interest rates.</a>

Why It Matters: Unlike previous cycles marked by sharp corrections, Thiel expects Bitcoin&#8217;s future to be defined by reduced volatility and sustained growth due to strong market demand. 
He noted that "every single Bitcoin purchased was recently in profit," showing the strength of the current market.
While price fluctuations remain inevitable, general trend for Bitcoin will continue to move upward, supported by a growing base of institutional buyers stabilizing the market. 
Thiel suggests that Bitcoin&#8217;s extreme volatility, characterized by sharp peaks and significant drawdowns of 20-30%, may be a thing of the past, at least in the near term.
Thiel revealed that Marathon raised a billion-dollar bond at zero percent interest alongside MicroStrategy, using the funds to <a href="https://x.com/fgthiel/status/1860049931685494955">acquire</a> significant Bitcoin holdings. He stated, &#8220;Anybody who&#8217;s selling is selling into a market where there&#8217;s ample demand,&#8221; further emphasizing his confidence in Bitcoin&#8217;s upward trajectory.

Jan van Eck, CEO of VanEck, focused on two crucial themes during his appearance at the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/digital-assets">Benzinga&#8217;s Future of Digital Assets Conference</a>: the ambiguity of U.S. fiscal policy and the rapid technological advancements impacting the financial landscape. 
Van Eck&#8217;s remarks provided a nuanced view of how these developments could influence investment strategies and broader financial systems.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Unclear Fiscal Priorities Post-Election</h3>
Van Eck addressed the uncertainty surrounding fiscal policy in the wake of recent elections. He noted that, despite a Republican win, the direction of government spending remains undecided. "We have just huge budget deficits in the United States. Any other country doing this stuff would be going bankrupt," he said.
Van Eck outlines the possibilities, which range from maintaining current spending levels to potential budget reductions of up to $500 billion, a concept aligned with proposals from figures like Vivek Ramaswamy. He emphasizes the challenges this ambiguity presents for investors trying to plan for the future.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Staying Ahead in a Rapidly Changing Environment</h3>
Touching on technological advancements, van Eck pointed to the rapid evolution of artificial intelligence and its increasing role in financial systems. 
"Change is accelerating," he remarked. For professionals in finance and tech, he said, events like the Benzinga Digital Assets Conference are indispensable for staying informed and connecting with industry leaders. "You almost have to come to events like this to stay on top of it," he added.
The pace of technological transformation, coupled with uncertainty in fiscal policy, underscores the importance of dialogue and collaboration in navigating these challenges. Van Eck's comments reflected the urgency of addressing these shifts to stay competitive.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">A Balancing Act for the Future</h3>
Van Eck's remarks framed the need to navigate fiscal and technological developments carefully. As the financial world contends with mounting deficits and technological advances, adapting and remaining informed will be critical in shaping strategies and ensuring stability.
