Recently, in an interview with CNBC, Warren said; investors should avoid using borrowed money to buy stocks at all cost.

“It is crazy in my view to borrow money on securities,” he told CNBC on Monday. “It’s insane to risk what you have and need for something you don’t really need. … You will not be way happier if you double your net worth.”

“My partner Charlie says there is only three ways a smart person can go broke: liquor, ladies and leverage,” he said. “Now the truth is — the first two he just added because they started with L — it’s leverage.”

“Berkshire, itself, provides some vivid examples of how price randomness in the short term can obscure long-term growth in value.
