Hi Guys Is it possible to get access to the similar information that Warren Buffet has ? Watching some of the shows on Warren Buffet where he discusses his investment strategy - he indicates he does not use complex methods to decide on stocks. But rather simply looks at basic info such as balance sheet and organization strategy (of the stock). Would regular investors be able to get similar information to base their investment on this.
warren has been performing on par with the SPY for a decade... in this day and age nobody is outperforming nobody... don't even try.
Yep, send your due diligence team to the corporate offices of a company you want to look at to interview senior management. Also send your audit team to pore over their financials and ask any follow up questions. Better yet, learn to trade as you are unlikely to have billions under management anyway.
Read Benjamin Graham's book - The Intelligent Investor - it's his bible. Read it cover to cover and take copious notes. Your local library will have a version if you are US domiciled.
Makes complete sense in the long run. If you do what he does in the same way he does it you'll get the same result, 5-10% per year (but not every year). It is precisely to avoid this disappointing long-term index-mimicking performance that short-term trading was born: so you hold cash when the market is not rising and short it when its falling. The probability is you will still not exceed 10% per year, but at least there is an upside possibility.
No offense but from reading your posts I would have thought both of you did way way better than buy and hold SPY? Very depressing thoughts. If you experts cannot do that, there is no hope for the rest of us amateurs.
I have heavy weight in tech... half the portfolio is QQQ XLK AAPL GOOG AMZN... that should easily outperform the SPY,.. I also have a thread called 'trading is easy', where I use sentiment/news cycle/volatility to get better prices... that should be enough to outperform Warren. Generally speaking there is NO hope... industry stats are out there.. retail traders 95% lose, 5% win, 1% win enough to live on... it is a hopeless sport. the pros don't do any better... over any 15 year period only 2-3% outperforms the SPY... virtually nobody outperforms the QQQ. so why bother. the job market is red hot... get a high demand skill, make easy 6 figures, throw all the savings into QQQ FAAMG.. that's the shortest path to riches today.. work smart.
