How A ‘Warren Buffet Attitude’ Will Make you into a Better Investor

It was nice to see the stockmarket rally somewhat towards the end of the day on Friday. It made me think a lot of what I do now is just save up money to buy more shares. I was tempted to buy some more BP (BP.) shares when they fell to around 409p, and by the end of the day I felt that I have enough to purchase some more of any type of shares. Now obviously I am not Warren Buffet, but I think I try to emulate some of his characteristics  - at least more than most people of my age. Let’s look through some of them.

  1. Thats what I’m doing with TESCO Warren, biding my time, still we all make mistakes.

  2. If I were you I would sell some shares and go down the pub and get “rat arsed” before you die . Warren Buffet sounds very dull . He will probably die and leave it all to a dogs home anyway . Whats the point . If you leave it to your kids they just slouch on the settee all day long getting fat and lazy .

    I bet Buffet is a wanker anyway ………. but only when the market is closed .


  3. David Russell

    Warren Buffet knows that the market can make you and also break you but unlike some people who make more from selling the dream to make money he his the dream and he got some books written about him self. Most people make a lot of money investing but most make more from writing books on the subject. I have always had poorly paid job and would have trouble writing a 3 page book on investing but I have made and lost a fortune and come January, February and then going into march people will lose money I think and some of the crap you read is a joke but sa sar, sar, A good company is hard to find but if you find one hold it,if not sell it and like my friend says get Rat Arsed.
