How to invest like Warren Buffett

I have no idea but I have seen his videos on YouTube and it seems so simple.


source: http://en.wikipedia.org
Probably the difference is that he is a seasoned investor. His background and mentors has truly made him the man that he is. He is able to accumulate such wealth because of his characteristics. That is why it made me think, what makes Warren Buffett think like that?

In the video(click here to watch video) he said that before looking at the stock's price he first look at the company's financial statement. He reviews the company books doing fundamental analysis and compare metrics to the industry it belongs. After doing that he now turns to the market price and evaluate whether such stock is undervalued.

I know I overuse this term already or even have repeated this topic but why is it that he, Warren Buffett, arrives at a different result from our own even though we use the same method. I guess that is the very reason why they called him the "Oracle of Omaha."
Probably it is because of these two things: one he is experienced, second he is patient. For stock investors like me I guess I haven't reached that length of experience yet where I have truly sharpen my brain in figuring out which stock will be profitable in the next of weeks. His patience is truly amazing as well. He said that even if the stock market will close for 5 years it won't bother him since his investment horizon is 5 years and eternity. This is because I think he already have the money we are just trying to build our portfolios by keeping the profits.

He looks at a stock purchase as an asset rather than as a merchandise that you buy to sell at a gain. I guess it all boils down to that.

Any thoughts about how the Oracle of Omaha does his stock trades? Please share it in the comment box.

PSE to hold investor free stock investing seminars in Cebu

THE PHILIPPINE STOCK EXCHANGE (PSE) is set to conduct free stock market seminars in Cebu to spur investor awareness and boost local participation in the stock market.

The seminar entitled “Building Wealth with Stocks: Investing Guide for Beginners” will be held on November 23 at the Cebu Parklane Hotel from 1:00 to 5:00PM.

The PSE will be joined by experts who will talk about the basics of investing, online stock trading, investing in mutual funds, and listing in the PSE.

“The PSE Roadshow in Cebu forms part of PSE’s intensified investor education program to increase local participation in the stock market. Through this financial literacy campaign, the Exchange also hopes to promote the stock market as an effective venue for mobilizing capital for business enterprises outside Metro Manila,” PSE Capital Markets Development Division head Leo G. Quinitio said.

“The PSE has successfully launched its Cebu office intended to reach and educate more Cebuanos about stock trading. We will soon open more satellite offices specifically in Cagayan de Oro and Davao. We are doing this because we believe that there are investors outside Metro Manila who have the disposable income which they can grow in the local equities market,” PSE president and CEO Hans B. Sicat said.

“With our satellite offices in key Philippine cities and a more aggressive education campaign, our dream of a more progressive Philippine stock market will be easier to achieve,” Mr. Sicat added.

Information about the PSE Cebu Roadshow and other market education programs could be accessed through the Exchange’s market education website, www.pseacademy.com.ph.
