If Warren Buffett Had to Start Today, Could He Still Reach His Current Level of Wealth?
Buffett's core strategy of investing for much longer horizons than the average investor remains intact — and arguably even more advantageous today.

If Warren Buffett had to start today, would he still reach billions in wealth? Most certainly — his core strategy is not only intact but gaining more advantage against the market. When he started his first fund, investors held stocks for roughly 8 years on average; today's shorter, increasingly speculative holding periods make short-term gains harder, but long-term investing easier to win at.
Why the edge persists
The growing popularity of theories like the Efficient Market Hypothesis, which conceptually conflict with Buffett's approach, ironically creates more opportunity for those who still follow his value-investing discipline. As Buffett himself has noted, markets frequently price things irrationally — and those who understand the gap between price and value continue to prosper.
