The following video is from Friday's Motley Fool Money roundtable discussion, in which host Chris Hill, and analysts Ron Gross, Jason Moser, and Charly Travers discuss the most influential investing stories of the week.

In his annual letter to shareholders, Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK-B  ) CEO Warren Buffett implored CEOs to stop complaining about uncertainty, and start putting their capital to work. Buffett disclosed that his company was buying more Coca-Cola (NYSE: KO  ) , American Express (NYSE: AXP  ) , Wells Fargo (NYSE: WFC  ) , and IBM (NYSE: IBM  ) . And Buffett praised the investment performance of his top two lieutenants, Todd Combs & Ted Weschler. In this installment of The Motley Fool Money Radio Show, our analysts talk about the genius of Warren Buffett.

Thanks to the savvy of investing legend Warren Buffett, Berkshire Hathaway's book value per share has grown a mind-blowing 586,817% over the past 48 years. But with Buffett aging, and Berkshire rapidly evolving, is this insurance conglomerate still a buy today? In The Motley Fool's premium report on the company, Berkshire expert Joe Magyer provides investors with key reasons to buy as well as important risks to watch out for.

    Finally, a man who has common sense. Even though Washington is playing stupid games, I feel like it's the companies of America who are bankrupting us. Their refusal to spend money, hire people QUICKLY, their ability to go overseas, these are all reasons the economy is not improving. Apple should not have more money in the bank than the Government. The GOP is trying to kill the middle class, refuses to acknowlege poor people, and thinks if we can just budget the balance all will be ok. Maybe in the rich,old white men world, but not the average American. Stop all the loopholes companies get and put America back to work.

    Buffett hasn't bought more shares of Coca-Cola or IBM in over a decade. Do your homework. He has been aggressively buying Wells and IBM.
