#usa In 1998, two Nobel Prize winners lost $4.6 billion in a matter of weeks. They weren't gamblers. They weren't reckless. They were, by almost any measure, two of the most brilliant financial minds alive. That same year, a few states away, Warren Buffett was buying boring companies and taking naps. Same markets. Same era. Opposite outcomes. This isn't a video about intelligence. Two Nobel laureates proved that doesn't protect you. This is about twelve specific, repeatable mistakes that quietly wreck smart, hardworking people's money — generation after generation — and the exact warnings Buffett has been giving for over six decades that most people have never heard translated into plain language. I'll walk through every one. What each actually costs in real dollars. And why the person making them almost always feels like they're doing the right thing the whole time. --- 💬 DROP A COMMENT: Which of these twelve hit closest to home?
