The Warren Buffett way of investing

Share |

Legendary Investor Warren Buffett has a very simplistic approach for investing in stocks, In this post I would expalin the Warren Buffett way of investing in details, If one has to become a very good investor he should stick to these 4 step approach for choosing stocks and then becoming millionaire from it. We all know that Warren Buffett has made a fortune of 56 billion from stocks and share market investing. We are seeing Buffett type investments being done by some big indian investors already. So definitely this Warren Buffett way of investing would be helpful to potential investors and new investors who want to make a career in stock investing. Remember that one doesnot have to follow thick investment banks manuals because as Buffett says "there is nothing scientific about valuing a stock".

The whole Warren Buffett way of investing would be covered in four posts where each post represents one step for investing in Stock markets. Remember these steps are for pure investors and speculators or short term investors please excuse.

These four steps are:

 Step 1 : Turn off stock market
Step 2 : Don't worry about the economy
Step 3 : Buy a business, not a stock
Step 4 : manage a portfolio of businesses

 Follow these steps one after another and dont skip any step while purchasing a business. If the company fits well after all these steps then go ahead and buy that business. HAPPY INVESTING!

Warren Buffett Way : Manage a portfolio of Businesses

Share |

Warren Buffett believes that diversification in investing is required when investor does not know what it is doing. Investors can measure the economic progress of the business by multiplying the earnings per share by number of share you hold. Maintain a portfolio of companies that in ten years, will produce highest look through earnings calculated as explained above. If you hold portfolio of about ten businesse you would not sell your best businesses, this is similar to working of a CEO who during crucial times sell less performing stocks while keeping best performing companies with him. Avoid purchasing marginal businesses if you have cash reserve. if a company doesnot fit completely or pass after following these four steps then you should not purchase the stock. Just restrict yourself in making few smart investments rather then going and making hundreds of risky investments. HAPPY INVESTMENT!!

Step 1 : Turn off stock market
Step 2 : Don't worry about the economy
Step 3 : Buy a business, not a stock
Step 4 : manage a portfolio of businesses

Stock Investing - Things to avoid

Share |

Stock investing is not that difficult as is pretends while seeing the volatility, The thing which it requires is sheer analysis, but still after making good decisions you can be on the loosing side, this may occur due to high fees which you have paid to your broker or some other trap.

So the most important things to avoid while stock investing are following:

High fees: A common investment trap is simply paying too many fees. These fees may be incurred by investing in a high fee mutual fund (such as a mutual fund with a load) or paying too much in fees to your broker to trade stocks. For example, if you do most of your stock trading over the phone or in-person instead of through the Internet, you are likely paying way too much in fees. Another way people pay unnecessary high fees is buying "investment advice" that they really don't need and likely does not help them.

Fear and greed: Books can be written about how fear and greed destroys investors. Most investors buy high and sell low. They buy after everyone else is buying and sell when things look glim since everyone is selling. This is a natural byproduct of human nature, and unfortunately, the exact wrong way one should invest in the stock market. Most people that actively watch their stocks have much worse returns than people who just leave their money in index funds since the market watchers get consumed by fear and greed and trade too often and at the wrong times.

Infomercials: The epitome of an "investment trap," these "systems" that are advertised on late-night tv are generally at best worthless advice and at worst outright scams. Do not follow these infomercials and never ever buy the product they are promoting, surely it would turn out to be a bogus.
