W. Buffett Uses Our Strategy

It’s absolutely true and we are going to prove it to you here. Warren Buffett is a U.S. investor, businessman, and philanthropist. He is far and away one of the most successful investors in history, the largest shareholder and C.E.O. of Berkshire Hathaway, and is currently ranked by Forbes as the richest person in the world. There is no doubt that the “Oracle of Omaha” is one of the most recognizable and trusted names in the investment world.

But, it may come as a surprise to most of you that Warren Buffett uses the exact same strategy that we use here at the Option Writer. In fact, his company Berkshire Hathaway has disclosed publicly every single quarter that they write index options for income. Here’s what they say: 

“Berkshire has written equity index put option contracts on four major equity indexes including three indexes outside of the United States.”

Don’t you think that if the richest man in the world is writing options, you should be doing the exact same thing? We do. That’s why we choose to this option strategy over any other.

To prove that Warren Buffett and Berkshire Hathaway use the same option strategy, we have provided direction links to the quarterly and annual reports on the Berkshire website below:
