It's no secret that Warren Buffett is an incredible investor. Arguably the greatest of all-time. His track record speaks for itself -- 20.5% compound annual gains from 1965 through 2018. That's more than double S&P 500's 9.7% annual return over the same time frame.
But I'm not here to talk about Buffett's successes, or his recent shareholder letter (which you can read here.)

Here's the story of how Warren Buffett lost billions in the oil business...
It starts in 2007 when the Oracle of Omaha began purchasing shares of ConocoPhillips (NYSE: COP). By the end of 2007, Buffett had spent just over $1 billion.
