Lessons from Warren Buffett
Over the course of his illustrious investing career, Buffett has given us regular investors many words of wisdom. If you want to take a page from Buffett, here’s what he’s said about his key investing principles.
Think long-term. “You’ve got to be prepared when you buy a stock to have it go down 50% or more and be comfortable with it, as long as you’re comfortable with the holding.”
Buy what you know. “Never invest in a business you cannot understand.”
Focus on long-term intrinsic value. “It’s far better to buy a wonderful company at a fair price than a fair company at a wonderful price.”
Don’t time the market. “We haven’t the faintest idea what the stock market is gonna do when it opens on Monday — we never have.”
The last point comes from his most recent Berkshire Hathaway annual shareholders meeting. He pointed out that there’s never a perfect time to buy a stock. Rather, he prefers to do his research, invest in the stock, then observe the stock market over time to determine if he should buy more shares or sell the stock.
