Warren Buffett: The Oracle's Investment Philosophy
Deep dive into the mind of the world's greatest investor. Learn about value investing, moats, and the patience required for billions.
Warren Buffett didn't get rich overnight. In fact, 99% of his wealth was created after his 50th birthday. His secret? Time, patience, and a relentless focus on 'Intrinsic Value'.
Rule No. 1: Never Lose Money
Buffett's first rule of investing is simple: "Never lose money." Rule number two is: "Never forget rule number one." This doesn't mean he never has a bad quarter; it means he prioritizes Capital Preservation over chasing risky 'moonshot' stocks.
The Concept of the Moat
Buffett looks for companies with an 'Economic Moat'—a unique competitive advantage that protects them from competitors, much like a moat protects a castle. Whether it's the brand of Coca-Cola or the ecosystem of Apple, a moat ensures long-term profitability.
