Warren Buffett first started buying Berkshire Hathaway shares in 1965 when the shares traded between $12 and $19. Fast forward 60 years and Berkshire Hathaway is now the first American non-technology company to be valued at $1 trillion. Those same shares are today worth $715,300. Wild.

That is just one of the topics we cover in a big episode of Equity Mates:
