Comments on: Warren Buffett MBA Talk at University of Florida (Transcripts) http://www.intelligentinvestorclub.com/seminars/warren-buffett-mba-talk-at-university-of-florida-transcripts Value Investing Strategies of Warren Buffett and Benjamin Graham Fri, 05 Dec 2008 10:52:08 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.2 By: Suchitt Dave, Advocate, Supreme Court, India http://www.intelligentinvestorclub.com/seminars/warren-buffett-mba-talk-at-university-of-florida-transcripts#comment-323 Suchitt Dave, Advocate, Supreme Court, India Fri, 01 Aug 2008 14:22:34 +0000 http://www.intelligentinvestorclub.com/seminars/warren-buffett-mba-talk-at-university-of-florida-transcripts#comment-323 The Warren Buffet and Ben Graham duo represent a simple, basic, fundamental and yet forgotten and neglected art of investing. This is not a game of numbers and neither warrants a great IQ. Remember Graham’s book quoting Isaac Newton loosing on his investments in South Sea (See Commentary on Introduction). Can Newton err at math? Perhaps not. Can he err at Investments? Yes. He did. It’s more about managing your emotions and being more objective at the art of investing. Great truths are few. However, they are often forgotten. Those aiming high at the Wall Street or any other Stock Exchange in any country need PATIENCE. Expecting too much will not deliver too much. The herd psychology needs to be avoided. You can’t make an investment because your neighbor did so; because your friend told you to do so. Do we observe our behavior when we go any buy merchandise or consumables? We all see labels, expiry dates, company name, and stores from where we buy. While we are so wary on spending, why are we careless at investing? Next time you invest, you want to make sure to know what does a company do, what is it’s market share, what products does it manufacture, what are the qualities of its products, what is the business model, what is the sustainability of the business model, who are the directors, managers, what was their background and such fundamental things that give you an x-ray of the company. Then compare the price you but vis-a-vis the intrinsic value. You don’t want to buy a good company at too good a price. These and stuff like that are important. If we do not want to bother about fundamentals and run the way herd runs, expecting good money from Stock Market is an illusion sure to break. I had gone through the transcript - as usual it was great and inspiring. Great work on part of this web-site to put up such a speech right here. (This message has been put up by a lawyer of Supreme Court of India - also running a private fund investing in Indian Stocks on fundamental and long term basis) The Warren Buffet and Ben Graham duo represent a simple, basic, fundamental and yet forgotten and neglected art of investing.
