Lesson of the Week

The Master of Habit and Discipline

Buffett's fairytale end would be a market crash with Berkshire holding over $400 billion in cash. He gets a final hurrah by deploying the cash to compound over the long term thus cementing his legacy as the greatest investor the world has ever seen. 

Our 3 Greatest Buffett Lessons 

1. Keep it Simple: in all manner of things, look for simple not complex.  Since 1958, he has lived in the same house. 80 years of the same investment philosophy. Never waiver.
2. Compounding: It takes time and patience. Use the geometic average (not the arithmetic average) as a way to understand time. Patience is keeping busy doing something else. 
3. Value not price: Knowing the price is easy, knowing the value is difficult. So do the maths: numbers (objective) will inform you more than narratives (subjective). Have a margin of safety in all things.
