Warren Buffett’s Advice (Berkshire Hathaway AGM)

Every year, thousands of Berkshire hathaway shareholders flock to listen to the Warren Buffett at the AGM. This year, due to the Covid-19 restrictions, it was a ‘virtual event’.

Here are a couple of clips, that I think contain good advice for any DIY-Investor…

Being a “farmer”…

Particularly relevent IMO is the section, where Buffett states…

So if you had that farm, and your neighbor offered you $2,000 an acre on Monday, $1,200 an acre the next day, and maybe then $800 an acre the day after, that shouldn’t change your evaluation of the farm’s potential.

“Are you going to let this guy drive you into thinking: ‘I better sell because this number keeps coming in lower all the time?’” he said.

Bringing the right psychological approach to owning common stocks is important: Betting on that farm may be better than listening to the neighboring farmer

On handling fear…
