Expert Investor: Warren Buffett’s 6 Rules Of Investing

HOSTS Alec Renehan & Bryce Leske|14 November, 2019

Warren Buffett is one of the greatest investors in the world, which is why listening to what he has to say can have an important influence on our investing journey, and learning process. However, over the years, Warren has had plenty of interviews, and opportunities to express his ideas about the market, and his ways of investing. Some of what he has to say has been turned into classic one-liners, such as “Rule #1: Don’t lose money. Rule #2: Don’t forget rule #2.” These are thrown around so often that sometimes they can lose meaning.

In this episode, we listen to 6 rules of investing from Warren, and then discuss what they practically mean for us as investors, and how we can incorporate them into our thinking and practice. The rules we explore:

• Buy below intrinsic value

• The importance of temperament

• Study the business, not the stock price

• Don’t give into hype

• Only buy what you understand

• Don’t over-complicate it! Stake

    Alec developed an interest in investing after realising he was spending all that he was earning. Investing became his form of 'forced saving'. While his first investment, Slater and Gordon (SGH), was a resounding failure, he learnt a lot from that experience. He hopes to share those lessons amongst others through the podcast and help people realise that if he can make money investing, anyone can.

    Bryce has had an interest in the stock market since his parents encouraged him to save 50c a fortnight from the age of 5. Once he had saved $500 he bought his first stock - BKI - a Listed Investment Company (LIC), and since then hasn't stopped. He hopes that Equity Mates can help make investing understandable and accessible. He loves the Essendon Football Club, and lives in Sydney.
