Warren Buffett Lessons:
9) Invest for the Long Term
“Only buy something that you’d be perfectly happy to hold if the market shut down for 10 years.”
10) Buy It Thinking You Will Hold It Forever
“Our favorite holding period is forever.”
17) Make Your Own Forecasts
“Forecasts may tell you a great deal about the forecaster; they tell you nothing about the future.”
21) Invest Only in Companies You Know and Trust
“An investor should act as though he had a lifetime decision card with just twenty punches on it.”
24) Seize Great Opportunities and Load Up the Truck
“Opportunities come infrequently. When it rains gold, put out the bucket, not the thimble.”
27) Make Long-Term Investments Over Short Term Ones
“If you aren’t thinking about owning a stock for 10 years, don’t even think about owning it for 10 minutes.”
Greedy when others are fearful. Very fearful when others are greedy - to paraphrase Warren Buffett
