'It's not taxed at all': Warren Buffett shared the 'best investment' you can make to fight inflation
Moneywise and Yahoo Finance LLC may earn commission or revenue through links in the content below. With an estimated net worth of $161.8 billion, Warren Buffett, the CEO of Berkshire Hathaway, has built a tremendous financial empire. Now, At 94 years old, Warren Buffett has finally decided to retire from his longtime post, having announced the decision at the company's annual shareholder meeting in early May. Vice-chair Greg Abel will take over the top job as of Jan. 1, 2026, and Buffett will remain as chairman. With a net worth like his, you might anticipate Buffett living a lavish retirement. But unlike the high-roller lifestyles of other extremely rich celebrities and business people, Warren Buffett lives by smart — and surprisingly simple — investment philosophies that have positively influenced millions of investors around the world. One of his most famous rules is to buy and hold for as long as possible. 'You've got to be prepared when you buy a stock to have it go down 50% or more, and be comfortable with it… but some people are not really careful. Some people are more subject to fear than others.' Thanks to Jeff Bezos, you can now become a landlord for as little as $100 — and no, you don't have to deal with tenants or fix freezers. Here's how BlackRock CEO Larry Fink has an important message for the next wave of American retirees — here's how he says you can best weather the US retirement crisis Nervous about the stock market in 2025? Find out how you can access this $1B private real estate fund (with as little as $10) At the 2022 Berkshire Hathaway annual shareholder's meeting, Buffet said 'Whatever abilities you have can't be taken away from you. They can't be inflated away from you,' he said. 'The best investment by far is anything that develops yourself, and it's not taxed at all.' While this isn't a traditional investment tip, Buffett firmly believes that by regularly investing in knowledge and self-improvement, you yourself become an asset and can more easily access opportunities for growing your wealth. Even now, Buffett has wise investment advice for investors seeking to shield their wealth and even grow it while keeping their tax obligations low. Here are some of his top investing strategies. Real estate is generally a 'good investment' during times of inflation, according to Buffett. 'They're the businesses that you buy once and then you don't have to keep making capital investments subsequently. So, you do not face the problem of continuous reinvestments involving greater and greater dollars because of inflation,' he said during the 2015 Berkshire Hathaway shareholders meeting. But, while real estate might be a good investment, its barrier to entry can be difficult to cross. Luckily, there are plenty of platforms out there that allow you to invest in real estate with ease. First National Realty Partners makes it easy for accredited investors to diversify through opportunities in grocery-anchored, necessity-based retail space. Through FNRP's online platform, accredited investors can potentially collect quarterly cash flow through a diverse real estate portfolio. New investing platforms are making it easier than ever to tap into the real estate market. For accredited investors, Homeshares gives access to the $36 trillion U.S. home equity market, which has historically been the exclusive playground of institutional investors. With a minimum investment of $25,000, investors can gain direct exposure to hundreds of owner-occupied homes in top U.S. cities through their U.S. Home Equity Fund — without the headaches of buying, owning or managing property. With risk-adjusted internal returns ranging from 14% to 17%, this approach provides an effective, hands-off way to invest in owner-occupied residential properties across regional markets. Read more: Rich, young Americans are ditching the stormy stock market — Buffett has been around the block a few times, experiencing many highs and lows in the U.S. economy. He has managed a stock portfolio through periods of double-digit inflation rates in the 1970s and has plenty of insight on what to own when consumer prices spike. Buffett likes high-quality businesses with low capital needs, such as Apple. The technology company boasts some impressive financial metrics — a testament to the company's efficiency, strength and negotiating power — which have enabled it to thrive during this period of inflation. While Buffett is known for being uninterested in gold investing — describing it in a 2011 letter to shareholders as an asset 'that will never produce anything' — other money mavens consider it to be a solid hedge against inflation because its purchasing power has remained relatively stable over time. Opting for a gold IRA gives you the opportunity to hedge against market volatility by allowing you to invest directly in physical precious metals rather than stocks and bonds. If you'd like to convert an existing IRA into a gold IRA, companies typically offer 100% free rollover. Priority Gold is an industry leader in precious metals, offering physical delivery of gold and silver. Plus, they have an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau and a 5-star rating from Trust Link. If you'd like to convert an existing IRA into a gold IRA, Priority Gold offers 100% free rollover, as well as free shipping, and free storage for up to five years. Qualifying purchases will also receive up to $10,000 in free silver.

Pound treads water as Bank of England holds interest rates
The pound was little changed against the dollar ahead of the Bank of England's (BoE) interest rate decision, trading at $1.3418. Zara Nokes, analyst at JP Morgan Asset Management, warned the escalating tensions and the 'upward pressure this is putting on oil prices, will only add to the Bank of England's concern about easing rates too quickly'. She said: 'The Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) will face a tougher choice when meeting again in August, given the combination of still-sticky inflation and evidence that the labour market is quite clearly cooling. 'A deterioration in the labour market should, in theory, put downward pressure on inflation, but until there are clear signs of this in the hard data, the Bank should be careful not to claim victory over inflation quite yet, not least because of the uncertain geopolitical climate.' The dollar has strengthened in recent days amid a surge in demand for safe havens over the conflict between Israel and Iran. The US dollar index ( which tracks the greenback against a basket of six major currencies, rose 0.1% to $98.99. Read more: Bank of England expected to hold interest rates as inflation comes in above target Crucially, the US Federal Reserve left its outlook for interest rates this year unchanged, with its 'dot plot' indicating there will be another two cuts. Meanwhile, in other currency moves, the pound was slightly higher against the euro, trading at €1.1700 at the time of writing. Oil prices surged in early European trading amid reports that Israel had attacked Iranian nuclear sites overnight, fuelling market fears of a broader conflict that could disrupt crude supplies. Brent crude futures rose 0.4% to $77.04 a barrel, at the time of writing, while West Texas Intermediate futures climbed 0.8% to trade at $75.72 a barrel. Yael Selfin, chief economist at KPMG UK, said: 'Energy prices have emerged as a key risk to the inflation outlook following the escalation in the Middle East. 'Oil prices have increased by more than 13% since the start of last week. The immediate impact of this will likely see prices at the fuel pumps rise, reversing the fall in petrol prices motorists were benefitting from recently.' She added: 'The recent movements in energy prices add further uncertainty to an already volatile global economic backdrop. Read more: FTSE 100 LIVE: Stocks slip as Bank of England set to hold interest rates amid inflation fears Goldman Sachs on Wednesday said a geopolitical risk premium of about $10 a barrel is justified given lower Iranian supply and risk of wider disruption that could push Brent crude above $90. There is still a 'healthy risk premium baked into the price as traders await to see whether the next stage of the Israel-Iran conflict is a US strike or peace talks,' Tony Sycamore, market analyst at IG, said in a client note. Energy markets are weighing the likelihood of direct US involvement in the conflict, as well as the potential for major supply disruptions, particularly worst-case scenarios, such as Iran blocking the strategic Strait of Hormuz. Gold prices fell on Thursday amid a resurgent dollar and a more hawkish outlook from the Federal Reserve that capped gains stemming from the Middle East tensions. Gold futures retreated 0.8% to trade at $3,381.30 per ounce at the time of writing, while the spot gold price lost 0.6% to $3,364.81 per ounce. The dollar, another traditional safe haven, is in high demand after the US Federal Reserve's decision to keep interest rates unchanged and forecasting only two rate cuts this year. This has made it more difficult for gold buyers to gain momentum. Stocks: Create your watchlist and portfolio In a note, Citigroup (C) lowered its price target for gold, expecting it to fall below the $3,000 level by late 2025 or early 2026. The bank cited declining investment demand and an improving global growth outlook. "We see investment demand for gold abating in late 2025 and 2026, as ultimately, we see the President Trump popularity and US growth 'put' kicking in, especially as the US mid-terms come into focus," Citi analysts wrote. More broadly, the FTSE 100 (^FTSE) was lower, down 0.6% to trade at 8,793 points at time of writing. For more details, check our live coverage here.
