I love the Buffetism “If you don’t feel comfortable owning a stock for 10 years, don’t buy it”. It makes investing so simple and stress-free.

[...] We’d probably all like to be Warren Buffet. Did you know he provides a roadmap? Yup, it’s that annual letter he sends out to all shareholders, which Monevator has conveniently summarized. [...]

Ah, Warren Buffet. A king among investors, and by all accounts, a good guy, as well. Kudos on capturing so much of his wisdom, and here's hoping more people take his words to heart in the future. .-= Roger, the Amateur Financier on: Beware the Ides of…April? =-.

Another excellent post – Buffett is indeed a wise man, not least because he keeps his principles simple. There is a wonderful anecdote that Keynes once told the Investment Committee of King’s College, Cambridge, that it made no sense for them to diversify their investments to reduce risk. Contrast that to the ancient common sense of not keeping all your eggs in one basket. The vast majority of investors should stick to simple, commonsense strategies that don’t need to be chopped and changed constantly; otherwise the risk is simply that we become too clever by half and lose most of our profits to brokerage fees and fund managers…

I would hope that most of us pf bloggers can respect the genius of Mr. Buffet! I blogged about him on my site naming him my Financial Hero #2 , only taking a back seat to Mr. Benjamin Franklin (at least in my book)! It always make me laugh, when others try to dethrone Mr. Buffett, only to look like a fool latter when whatever the claim falls through and Buffett is back on top. I can't believe I haven't read that "The Snowball" book yet! Good article as usual! .-= Money Reasons on: What I Have Learned To Date From Blogging! =-.

I loved this post – mainly since it was completely understandable to a non-stock person like me!

Why is it that everyone knows they should “buy low and sell high”, but so few ever follow through on that?

Having cash available to pour into stocks when everybody was abandoning them like rats off a sinking ship is what kept my husband and I afloat in 2008 and 2009. We’ve since doubled our shares and are doing pretty well for a mid-20s couple. “Buy low and sell high”…people should really take those words to heart.

Hah – I really do have a crush on Buffett – I’m re-reading The Snowball again at the moment! As for cash, I do like it and I’m working on a post about how it’s historically been a somewhat under-rated asset class for private investors, but it will make you poor in the long-term. (Your 4% return on your CDs must be very close to money-losing with US inflation well over 3% last I looked).

Have a good weekend!

I think you have a man crush on our Warren mate! Can you leave Warren for us PF folks in America to man crush on? You got your fake Warren you wrote about earlier.

Point #1 is great… cash, oh so lovely cash. I’m not greedy, I just love lots of cash in the bank, don’t u?

I dislike CNBC and all the noise. It’s all noise and churn.

Happy weekend!
