Below are 3 lessons learned from Warren Buffett, extracted from this ebook.
Lesson 1 - Why Warren Buffett Ignores Stock Prices and You Should Too
Most people obsess over stock prices every day. Warren Buffett does not. And this one lesson from him completely changed how I invest—by teaching me to focus on great businesses, not market noise.
Warren Buffett has publicly stated that he does not closely follow daily share prices. His approach to investing is based on business fundamentals, not short-term price movements.
He focuses on the business, not the ticker. He often says, “Buy a business, not a stock.” He evaluates companies based on their intrinsic value, competitive advantage, management quality, and long-term potential.
To him, market dips are opportunities. He sees market downturns as a chance to buy good businesses at bargain prices.
He checks prices only when necessary. He may look at share prices when he is ready to buy or sell—but not to track day-to-day fluctuations.
This is one of his famous sayings:
“If you are not willing to own a stock for ten years, do not even think about owning it for ten minutes.”
Warren Buffett regularly reads news and reports about the companies he invests in—but his focus is not on sensational headlines or short-term news cycles. Instead, he reads annual reports thoroughly to understand the business performance and strategy. Follows key financial news, especially if it affects long-term fundamentals—like regulatory changes, major acquisitions, or shifts in the competitive landscape. Focuses on long-term trends—not daily volatility or media hype.
Buffett has said he reads over 500 pages per day, including company filings, newspapers, investment research, and books. He once said: “Read 500 pages like this every day. That is how knowledge works. It builds up, like compound interest.” Only with this level of accumulated knowledge is one capable of making the right investment decisions.
Can you really invest like Warren Buffett?
Let us be honest—can you truly follow Warren Buffett’s approach? Can you resist checking share prices daily, and instead commit to reading 500+ pages of finance and investment-related materials consistently?
If your answer is yes, then I believe you have either already made a fortune through investing, or you are on the path to building massive wealth by following Buffett’s proven long-term investing philosophy.
To me, 60% of your success in investing depends on psychology. The real challenge lies in emotional discipline—how you manage your emotions during market ups and downs.
Ask yourself:
· When your stock has made a big profit, do you panic and sell too early, fearing it might drop?
· When your stock falls sharply, do you stay calm—or do you panic and cut losses out of fear?
· When stock prices keep going up, do you chase the rally out of fear of missing out, and end up buying at the all-time high?
If you can learn to detach yourself from daily price fluctuations, and shift your mindset from speculating on short-term prices to investing in great businesses—by buying partial ownership in the form of shares—then you truly have the potential to become wealthy through long-term investing.
If you want to succeed in investing, your preferred holding period should be “forever”—
as long as the company's fundamentals remain strong.
You should only sell when something impacts the company’s revenue and profit over the long term—this indicates that the fundamentals have deteriorated. That is the time to sell all your shares in that company.
Lesson 2 - The Limits of Buy and Hold
“Buy and hold” is often described as the ultimate long-term investment strategy, but Warren Buffett cautions that this phrase can be dangerously misleading. While he is famous for saying his favorite holding period is “forever,” Buffett does not mean investors should blindly cling to every stock they purchase. He sees buy and hold as problematic when it turns into complacency, ignoring the fact that businesses change, industries evolve, and economic threats emerge. His perspective reveals that intelligent investing requires patience, but also ongoing vigilance.
Great Businesses Do Not Stay Great Forever
Buffett recalls the dominance of companies like General Motors and Procter & Gamble, which once looked unstoppable. In his youth, General Motors loomed over the economy like a colossus, generating torrents of cash and controlling vast market share. Yet decades later, the same company went bankrupt and wiped out its shareholders.
This example illustrates Buffett’s key point: a business that appears invincible today may face decline tomorrow. Consumer habits shift, competitors arise, and technological disruption erodes advantages. Investors who cling to the old notion that strong companies will remain strong forever risk holding onto fading businesses too long. Buy and hold, in this sense, becomes buy and hope.
The Need for Continuous Reassessment
Buffett emphasizes that investors must always be thinking about whether something has fundamentally changed in a business. It is not enough to make an initial judgment and then forget about it. For Berkshire Hathaway itself, Buffett notes that he and Charlie Munger are constantly reassessing the companies they own, from American Express to wholly owned subsidiaries.
He acknowledges that mistakes are inevitable: sometimes Berkshire is late to recognize a problem, sometimes wrong in its assessment. But the discipline of continual evaluation is what prevents catastrophic losses. Buy and hold, when practiced intelligently, means holding only as long as the business remains strong.
Recognizing Real Threats
One of Buffett’s insights is distinguishing between minor issues and existential threats. Every business faces challenges, but not every challenge warrants selling. For example, a short-term dip in earnings might not matter, but a permanent shift in consumer behavior could spell disaster.
He frames this as a game of probabilities—assessing whether a threat is minor, major, or life-threatening. Investors must learn to differentiate between temporary setbacks and long-term decline. Failing to do so leads to stubbornly holding declining businesses, a mistake Buffett warns against.
External Risks Beyond Business Performance
Interestingly, Buffett also highlights that external risks—such as geopolitical or technological threats—pose challenges even to the best businesses. He references “CNBC” as shorthand for cyber, nuclear, biological, and chemical threats that could devastate economies. While not specific to buy and hold, his point reinforces that no investment strategy is immune to external shocks. Investors must remain realistic about risks that lie outside balance sheets and income statements.
A Contrast with True Patience
Despite his criticism of rigid buy and hold, Buffett is not advocating for constant trading. In fact, he remains a model of patience, often holding shares in companies like Coca-Cola, American Express, and Moody’s for decades. The difference lies in the reasoning: Buffett holds because these companies continue to deliver durable competitive advantages, not simply because he bought them long ago.
He once said: “When we own outstanding businesses with outstanding management, our favorite holding period is forever.” But the emphasis is on outstanding. If those qualities fade, forever no longer applies. True patience is grounded in fundamentals, not inertia.
Lessons for Investors
An important nuance often overlooked by casual followers of Buffett: buy and hold is not a blanket rule but a conditional strategy. Investors should:
· Buy businesses with strong, durable advantages.
· Continuously reassess whether those advantages remain intact.
· Be willing to admit mistakes and sell when conditions change.
· Avoid confusing temporary volatility with permanent decline.
For example, Buffett held Coca-Cola for decades because its global brand and pricing power remain intact. By contrast, his investment in textile manufacturing was eventually abandoned because the economics of the industry became hopeless.
Conclusion: Buy and Hold, But Think
Warren Buffett’s critique of buy and hold challenges investors to be more thoughtful. The danger lies not in the idea of holding for the long term, but in holding without thinking. Businesses decline, industries evolve, and risks change. Intelligent investors must balance patience with vigilance, discipline with humility.
Lesson 3 - Why Too Much Diversification Can Be a Mistake
Warren Buffett’s view on diversification is clear and often surprising. While many financial advisors preach “never put all your eggs in one basket,” Buffett believes this advice only applies to certain types of investors. For others, especially those who understand how to evaluate businesses, spreading your money too thin can actually lower your returns.
There Are Two Kinds of Investors And Two Different Strategies
Buffett separates investors into two main groups:
The first one, the non-professional investor – someone who does not spend time studying and evaluating businesses. For this group, extreme diversification makes sense. The simplest way is to buy a low-cost index fund that owns a wide range of companies. You will own “a part of America” and enjoy the overall growth of the economy without having to choose individual stocks.
The second one, the knowledgeable, committed investor – someone who is willing to put in the time, energy, and focus to study businesses in depth. For this group, too much diversification is a mistake. If you know what you are doing, you do not need to own 30, 40, or 50 stocks. Instead, you should focus on a small number of truly great businesses and invest heavily in them.
Why Fewer Investments Can Be Better
Buffett believes that if you can find six wonderful businesses you understand well, that is all the diversification you need. In fact, he often invests half of his portfolio in his single best idea. The reason is simple: very few people get rich from their seventh or eighth best investment idea, but many fortunes have been made from someone’s single best idea.
There is a danger in spreading your money too thin. If you already own a great business, adding your money to your 30th or 40th best choice is often worse than adding more to your number one choice. To Buffett, this approach “confesses” that you do not truly understand your investments—otherwise, you would know which ones deserve more of your capital.
Diversification as “Protection Against Ignorance”
Buffett calls diversification “protection against ignorance.” If you do not know how to evaluate and value businesses, then diversification is the safe route. By owning everything, you reduce the impact of any single bad decision.
But if you do know how to assess businesses, owning too many companies can dilute your returns and make you less focused. In Buffett’s words, there are not that many wonderful businesses in the world that are simple enough for one person to truly understand.
Great Businesses Beat Large Portfolios
Buffett points out that fortunes in America have not been built from owning 50 average companies. They have been built by people who identified and stuck with one or a few extraordinary businesses.
He notes that three wonderful businesses—especially ones resistant to competition and economic downturns—are better and safer than 100 average ones. For him, the real risk is not in owning too few companies, but in owning too many that you do not fully understand.
The “Punch Card” Approach to Investing
Buffett uses a thought experiment. Imagine that when you start investing, you get a punch card with only 20 punches for your entire life. Every time you make an investment, you use one punch. Once the card is used up, you cannot make another investment.
This limitation would force you to think very carefully before acting. You would only invest in businesses you truly understand and believe in. You would make fewer but bigger investments, and they would likely be much better choices. Buffett believes that if investors followed this approach, they would be far richer and more disciplined.
Avoiding the Temptation to Dabble
Buffett warns against the temptation to constantly buy and sell, especially in a bull market when stock prices are rising. With online trading, it is easier than ever to jump in and out of stocks without much thought. This “dabbling” creates excitement but rarely builds lasting wealth.
By focusing on a few big opportunities and committing to them, you can avoid the trap of chasing short-term gains and instead build long-term wealth.
Final Thoughts
Buffett’s advice is not that diversification is always bad—it depends on the investor. For most people, a broadly diversified index fund is the safest choice. But for the rare investor who is willing to study deeply and think independently, concentration, not diversification, is the path to extraordinary returns.
In Buffett’s own career, many of his biggest successes have come from placing large bets on a few outstanding businesses he understood well and trusted. His message is simple: you do not get hundreds of life-changing opportunities—maybe only a handful—so when you find one, go big.
