Warren Buffett is one of the worlds most successful investors, amassing a fortune of over $84 billion dollars! Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to think like Warren Buffett? Well now you can! Warren’s daughter-in-law, Mary Buffett wrote a book called ‘Buffettology’, which delves into the thinking of Buffett. It’s a fantastic book – a must read. Towards the start of the book Mary talks through 9 key questions that Buffett will always ask when he’s determining if a stock is worth buying. These are questions that anyone can answer. You don’t need a degree or much knowledge in investing to have a crack at answering these yourself. This episode we each choose a company and answer the first 4 questions ourselves, to see if we’ve chosen a company that Buffett himself would invest in. In this episode you will learn: • If our businesses have an identifiable consumer monopoly • If the earnings of our companies are strong, and showing upward trend • If our companies are conservatively financed • If the companies of choice consistently earn high rate of return on shareholders’ equity Stocks and resources discussed: • Buffettology – Mary Buffett • Resmed (ASX: RMD) • Boral (ASX: BLD)To keep up to date with the latest in the world of investing, and get tailored articles for the Basics 101 of investing, sign-up to our weekly Thought Starters email. Knowledge is power!
