Secrets Of Warren Buffett

By Mike Swanson

World wide the Warren Buffett strategy is known for being very successful in stock picks. His value investment philosophy is from the Benjamin Graham school, and in 1965 he invested $10000 in Berkshire Hathaway. Today this investment is worth nearly $30 million! Had he taken the same amount of money and invested it in the "S & P 500" it would have grown, however the same investment would only be worth around $500 000.

The legend that is Warren Buffett has grown to such a degree as to almost appear mythical. His philosophy of value investing has him pursuing bargains, much like a bargain hunter might and this is how he makes his millions. He sees value in certain stocks which other people can't. The products he purchases are under-valued, so they don't attract other investors.

Undervalued stocks don't normally attract investors, but their low worth is what attracts Warren Buffett. He is able to predict what they will be worth by analyzing the fundamentals of the business, and this is what helps him to predict that the market will eventually favor his stocks.

His concern does not lie with the fact that supply and demand controls stock market intricacies and his famous quote "In the short term the market is a popularity contest; in the long term it is a weighing machine" is indicative of this.

Stocks are selected based on the company's overall potential, so he looks at this as a whole entity, and sees investing as a long term prospect for making money. Warren Buffett looks for ownership and not capital gain, and his concerns are relevant to how well a company is able to make money.

When he looks at an investment opportunity and evaluates the relationship between its stock price against the level of the company's excellence. He also asks himself certain questions, such as performance regarding return on equity, if the company avoids taking on excessive debt (we all know how he feels about debt), how long the company has been public and whether or not it relies on a commodity. - 23212
