Warren Buffett's style of investing
Warren Buffett has always followed an intrinsic value approach: one in which a security is deemed to be attractive based on the relationship between its price and the value that a knowledgeable buyer would pay for the whole business. Warren’s point is deeper than it sounds – buy a wonderful company when it is a bargain and only when you are certain that it will be worth more 10 years from now than it is today.
Your personality influences a lot of things, one of them being how you invest your money. How well do you know yourself? Do you know your tolerance for risk and loss? Have you pinpointed your investing time horizon? These are some important questions to ask yourself today before making an investment.
Every investor needs to understand how much risk they are willing to take and which types of risk most worry them. Your risk tolerance, which is the degree of uncertainty you are willing to take on to achieve potentially greater rewards, is determined by a combination of factors, including your investment goals and experience, how much time you have to invest, your other financial resources, and your fear factor.
To emulate Buffett's success, an investor can’t pick stocks at will and be done. You have to take your time to research each company you are interested in before handing over any money. Investing is a practice and you need to think of it like a practice, just like yoga or meditation or practicing tennis – anything that you enjoy doing and want to become better at over time, without a specific end goal where you are going to stop.
Taking the time to choose individual stocks is a good choice but it's not for everyone. Warren Buffett offers good advice in that case too. If you are not going to take the time to learn to do value investing, Buffet says you should invest in a low-cost index fund, especially for long-term retirement savings.
Finally, investors should always have this in mind – always strive to own a great company that, even if the stock prices go down, you won’t have to worry and you will stay with it until it goes back up. And, ideally, you never sell.
Warren Buffett's
strategies for investing are to find companies that you trust, believe
in, and understand the business model. If not walk away now. One must
learn to be patient, to wait for these stock prices to fall to value
prices, and then hold on to the stock for the long term at least 10
years, if not 20 years or even 30 years. Buffet shares the view the
best way to avoid capital gains taxes is to hold the stock for an
extremely long time if not indefinite. Let a holistic financial coach walk you through an investment strategy tailored to your needs and your values. Not a 1 size fits mutual fund that a financial advisor happens to sell. Find out more
What if you don't have the knowledge or time to research like Warren Buffet?
What if you don't know of any of these companies, what do you do then? Well, Warren Buffett openly releases his investment choices each year about which companies his company Berkshire Hathaway invests in. This will make the financial news, the local business section of your newspaper. If you can’t think like Warren Buffett just follow his choices. According to Buffett, it is better to have 10 quality “Great” stocks than to have hundreds of average stocks. Now if you do not have the personality or skills to truly buy low and sell high, what should you do? Warren Buffett states you are best to buy a passive fund or Index fund rather.

Why do most people fail at stocks?
It sounds simple enough, but most people are not programmed to buy stock low and sell high. The reason is emotional investing theory most of the population is hardwired to sell low and buy high this is due to human evaluation and our ability to survive. The same goes for fund managers; they often have to follow the majority of other investors and often feel the need to always be in the market. Be careful many salespeople are going by the tiles of the financial adviser, insurances agents are mostly and not always what I like to call “mutual fund salespeople”. I would recommend you become your own expert and follow the advice of other experts who state that even an average investor can outpace the S&P 500.
What is the best way to invest in the S&P 500?
The easy way to meet the S&P 500 is to buy a low-cost passive fund that mirrors the S&P 500. The easiest way to use cost averaging which simply means buying into a mutual fund(s), every pay period, once a month, or once a quarter. The idea behind these strategies is that you will be placed in an automatic system that will buy mutual funds at the peak and the bottom of the market to avoid emotional buying or selling.
The Joel Greenblatt way to invest in value-based
How do you outpace the S&P 500? Is not to purchase high-cost managed mutual funds, and second to follow the advice of Joel Greenblatt which is a Professor at Columbia University and former fund manager, he states in his book The Big Secret for the Small Investor: The Shortest Route to Long-term Investment Success that most of the top funds manager at one time was at the bottom. And there is no way to predict who will be the next Warren Buffet. He has developed a system of value index mutual funds based on the S&P 500 that are value-based and are a better way to buy low and sell high.
He states that the problem with the S&P 500 is how the system purchases based on capitalization. Meaning that the top stock will have the highest weight, and the one ranked second will have the next highest value, and so on and so on. Until one gets to the 500th position will be a very small part of the fund.
Joel Greenblatt believes that is created and buy high and sell low buy strategies. Joel Greenblatt believes that buying 1/500 of each stock would be a better system or one based on dividends or gross sales would be a better system than what we have today. One can produce 1-2% better returns than the S&P 500 and even better than some fund managers. On his website, he gives the mutual funds symbols that he recommends.
Let's face it financial advisers don't have hours to find what is your risk threshold. They simply ask you to do a short survey and like magic, they know all about you. We don't sell financial services like stocks, bonds, mutual funds, or life insurance. This is what sets us apart. We take time to ask you many questions, do role-playing with you, and help you research investment choices before going to a financial adviser.
The Burton Gordon Malkiel style of diversified investment strategies
The next strategy is to have the greatest diversification of your US stocks, bonds, and international stock markets. Not just investing in the top 500 US stocks, but in the larger cap, mid-cap and small-cap stocks in Wilshire 5000 encompasses the entire US stock market. This was developed by Burton Gordon Malkiel a Princeton professor in his book The Random Walk Guide to Investing: Ten Rules for Financial Success states this is the way to the greatest return.
Conclusion
All these strategies are a complete contradiction, with each other, but each one can be used for different personality styles and risk tolerances. The question one needs to ask is what ideology fits me the best? Am I willing to spend a lot of time, some time, or no time reaching mutual funds, stock, and balance sheets?
Warren Buffett is the riskiest and the one strategy that will gain the best returns. Joel is a little less complex, and investing value will give you better returns over aggressive growth funds, over the longer term, and Burton Gordon. Malkiel will give you a chance to go on autopilot and invest in the most passive method. The risk is diversified, over the largest amount of stock or bonds. Burton Gordon.
Malkiel ran simulations, showing it is a smart investment style. In his book Burton Gordon Malkiel's The Random Walk Guide to Investing: Ten Rules for Financial Success states this is the way to the greatest return. States the mutual fund symbols and helpful list of allocation tables for different age groups.
I personally see myself investing in all of these models when the market is down, I invest like Warren Buffet. When the market is flat or not producing great returns I am applying value-based investing with great diversity. I do hold rather large low-risk fund(s), based on my age, waiting for the market to crash. I can’t tell you when the market will crash, but I am sure it will crash sooner or later.
I still have a portion of my investment in stocks, mutual funds, bonds, & treasury inflation-protected securities (TIFs). When the market gets too high I re-balance my trading account and the same is true when I see weakness in the market I re-balance once again. I am always looking for an opportunity to make a good return. No, one knows when the market will be at the top or at the bottom. But one knows when the market is priced fairly or slightly overvalued and when the market is undervalued. This is when a smart person makes their move. When the market is high move some of your investment to safe, and likewise when the market is weak move some of your safe (low-risk) investment to higher risk.
