Warren Buffett

The Oracle of Omaha

Value investing with a focus on wonderful companies at fair prices. Buffett looks for businesses with durable competitive advantages (moats), strong management, and predictable earnings.

Trading Strategy

Buy and hold quality businesses below intrinsic value. Focus on return on equity, profit margins, and the strength of the business franchise. Concentrate positions in high-conviction ideas.

Key Principles

  • Be fearful when others are greedy, and greedy when others are fearful
  • Price is what you pay, value is what you get
  • Our favorite holding period is forever
  • Risk comes from not knowing what you are doing
  • Only invest in businesses you understand
