Comparing and Contrasting the Videos
The two videos identified above have both similarities and differences. Regarding similarities, the two videos are short in that they last for less than an hour. Also, the videos address related topics whereby the first one evaluates the rules to adopt when investing while the second one evaluates the efficiency of investment markets upon which the rules from the first video apply. Regarding differences, the first video has a commentator, while the second one does not. Also, the first video brings together many clips of Warrant Buffet addressing the subject topic, while the second one takes a live session of opinions that are discussed in a single sitting. The differences match those in the practitioner and scholarly articles as they use different styles.
