The Most Important ( 1 ) Factor for Success, According to Warren Buffett

While it is good to simplify the investment ideas into point form for easy understanding, but it does not make it simple nor easy for DIY retail investors like you and me. One will still need to continuously upgrade their knowledge of Accounting & Finance ( to understand the pit-falls or creative accounting ), Economics (macro or micro ) and the important part of “psychology “ aspect of the market.

As I repeatedly mentioned in my blog post, even the Index Investing is not as simple as we thought once the market move into depression or crisis level. Can our mind handle the negative return of -30 to -40 % in our investment portfolio?

Never stop learning :

One of the greatest secrets to Warren Buffett's success is that he is continuously learning. Charlie Munger, the vice-chairman of Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway Corporation, once said this about his legendary colleague:

"Warren Buffett has become one hell of a lot better investor since the day I met him, and so have I. If we had been frozen at any given stage, with the knowledge we had, the record would have been much worse then it is. So the game is to keep learning, and I don't think people are going to keep learning who don't like the learning process."

So the moral of the story is “Don’t just stop at 1-2-3 ,,,,,”  keep learning.

Cheers!

PS :

I don’t think one should spend a few thousands of dollars to learn how to invest or “trade “ , but as I mentioned before, spending a few hundred dollars to set our mind right in understanding the concept of “value investing “ and “investment philosophy “ is OK and necessary.

As I have blogged about it before ( here ) “Good Financial Journalist That Could Shape Your View in Investing”, Teh Hooi Leng was one of my favorite journalist during her tenure with The Business Time, I enjoyed reading her articles on markets, valuation and psychology aspect of investment.
