Buffettology

Mary Buffet and David Clark in Chapter Four of their book titled "Buffettology:    The Previously Unexplained Techniques That Have Made Warren Buffett the World's Most Famous Investor" have delved into the importance of investing from a business perspective.

Investing from a Business Perspective :- 

Warren Buffett, one of the most success- ful investors in the world and the chairman and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway, approaches investing primarily from a business perspective. Having a business perspective on investing is more about discipline philosophy and once the concept is understood it demands total devotion. Discipline and devotion help to take advantage of other people's follies driven by fear and greed. Investing from a business perspective is an investment approach or strategy that is unfamiliar or in compatible with traditional business perspectives. Some key aspects of investing from a business per- spective that are alien to traditional practices can include the following:

1. Welcoming the corrections and falls :

 An investor will find himself/herself waiting for the markets to go down instead of going up so that he/she can buy stocks of companies that he/she has been wanting to own.

2. Short term price visibility is not the perspective of buying : 

An investor will not buy a stock thinking that stock will go up in the next week.

 3. Long-term Perspective Vis a Vis Mid-term perspective : 

An investor will not buy a stock thinking that stock will go up by 25% in the next six months but will only take a stake when he/she is confident that the investment will deliver more than 15% CAGR in next five to ten years.

 4. Diversification : 

Diversification is resorted by investors only to protect themselves from their stupidity and not because of being investment savvy- i.e. possessing a high level of knowl- edge, expertise, and skill in making investments.
