Long before he became the man everyone calls the Oracle of Omaha, Warren Buffett was just an 11-year-old kid with a wad of saved-up money and a serious itch to put it somewhere. And in 1942, a few months after Pearl Harbor, he finally did. He spent every cent he had, $114.75, money he’d been quietly stacking up since he was six, and bought three shares of a company called Cities Service Preferred. He bought three more for his sister Doris too, according to CNBC, which reported that Buffett’s first stock purchase was Cities Service shares priced at $38 each.Image: https://x.com/cmsinvests
