Financial Lessons We Can Learn From Warren Buffet by valdubem(m): 10:35am On Feb 28, 2013
1. Spend wisely: Buffet still dwells in that 5bedroom apartment he purchased 55years ago.

2. No one cares about your money as much as you do: Buffet makes all his own investment decisions for his best interest; not the commission-based interest of financial advisers, stock brokers etc

3. Do your home work- Scan thousands of stock: Buffet spends 18hours a day working on investment capital, saying investors should think of themselves as partial owners.

4. Over come your fear of risk: people are afraid that investing will cause them to loose money but Buffet says stocks outperform bonds, banks and even gold; and are safer too.

5. Focus on the long term: Putting off saving/investing means you'll need to save more in less time for the same outcome.

6. Invest in quality Business: The result of doing your homework is determining worthy companies. Buffet is famously invested in Coca cola, wells Fargo and IBM.

7. Hunt for exceptional bargains for solid companies: Buffet recommends buying stock during a crash. when even great companies have extremely low prices.

8. Make decisions to invest based on how well money is used by Company management: Buffet feels penny pinching indicates a profitable mindset. once, he acquired a company whose owner took the time to discover the toilet paper roll wasn't really the advertised 500 sheets.

9. Be patient; wait until everything is in your favor to interest: when conditions align, buy an appropriate amount of shares. Buffet recommends holding stocks in 10-15 companies.

10. Sell loosing stock when the market is up; Buy winning stock during a crash: Selling a dud stock at its worst adds to your loss, and purchasing a great stock at peak price cuts your gain. "the beauty of stocks is they do sell at silly prices sometimes. .....Thats how Charly [munger] and I got rich." warren says

So He lives in the old house he bought 55yrs ago when he wasn't so rich and He still works at least 18hrs every day?? So when exactly is he going to enjoy all the wealth he has gathered?

There is more to learn from Mike Adenuga and Dangote. I doubt if Buffet would have been a billionaire if he was born in the Nigerian terrain. Learn from your icons in your terrain and forget those white people in perfect business environments.

The principles are sound, but relative to investing to investing in the local markets, there are other factors to consider.

Aka, don't get emotionally attached. Especially if you are lucky to own Apple or Google stock. They can one day sell for under $10/share - not because they decide to split their shares. smiley

Plenty other factors to be considered in d Nigerian terrain. Corruption stands tall.
Re: Financial Lessons We Can Learn From Warren Buffet by Nobody: 5:54pm On Feb 28, 2013
Warren Buffet is a bad role model when it comes to enjoying money you have made. There is a 45 minute documentary of him on youtube, I was so pissed. Even his children are like the children of the average American.

No jet, no palace, no posh car no nothing, just mind boggling philanthropy.

Money miss road. This man should withdraw $100m and blow it all away. Why work so hard and refuse to enjoy the fruits of your labour even going as far as leaving nothing for your kids.

As for me, for every million I. Make, I should be able to blow 100k when I want to be frugal and blow away 600k when I'm feeling real good.

We only live once na, come on dude. Haba!

Guy,u would have doubted that buffet will become a billionaire if u grew in america. With all d above it's profound to say buffet 'grew to understand' how 2 make a fortune 4rm available resources. The quoted 'grew to understand' is a trait that makes one successful,this trait works anywhere. Besides,U.S is not a perfect business environment,damn it mehn,u sound un-enlightened. In spite of the natural resources declines,U.S is known 4 speedy innovations,high competitions,high taxes and levies even the scrutiny,inflexible business policies etc, in the U.S businesses requires high creativity and run high risk(sustaining,notwithstanding d massive competition) to sprout top positions among the self made billionaires 4 d founders/owners. Guy,na him make dem dey run come our land to explore na. Sey U be learner!
