Bonds Less Attractive than Stocks to Warren Buffett
August 31, 2017

Often referred to as the “Oracle of Omaha”, Buffett has found it more of a challenge to identify new investments in the second-longest bull market on record, with the S&P 500 having more than tripled since March 2009 in a rally that has added almost $19 trillion to share values.
