While I donโ€™t walk around quoting Benjamin Graham or screening for cigar butts daily, my style is more top-down, systematic, multi-asset/multi-style โ€” with a decent splash of value investing in the mix. Letโ€™s just say I appreciate a good bargain, but I donโ€™t mind checking the macro weather first. Like most people in finance with a soul, Iโ€™ve studied Buffett. Hard not to โ€” the manโ€™s track record is basically the financial version of a Marvel origin story. Here are 3 timeless lessons from Buffett that have stuck with me. ๐Ÿ’ก #3 is especially underrated. ๐Ÿ” ๐Ÿญ) ๐—ฉ๐—ฎ๐—น๐˜‚๐—ฒ ๐—ถ๐—ป๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ๐˜€๐˜๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐˜„๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—ธ๐˜€ Itโ€™s not the only way to make money โ€” but it works because you can hold onto a good business for a long time and let compounding do its thing. The stock price may swing, but the intrinsic value keeps growing. ๐Ÿง  โ€œPrice is what you pay. Value is what you get.โ€ โ€“ Warren Buffett Many forget: markets are noisy. Fundamentals matter more over time. ๐Ÿ“‰ ๐Ÿฎ) ๐——๐—ผ๐—ปโ€™๐˜ ๐—ณ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ ๐—ฏ๐—ถ๐—ด ๐—ฑ๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐˜„๐—ฑ๐—ผ๐˜„๐—ป๐˜€ Buffett once said: ๐Ÿง  โ€œIf you canโ€™t manage your emotions, you canโ€™t manage money.โ€ And another classic: ๐Ÿง  โ€œIf youโ€™re not willing to own a stock for 10 years, donโ€™t even think about owning it for 10 minutes.โ€ Berkshire has had multiple 40โ€“50% drawdowns in its history. It didnโ€™t shake him. He stayed focused on business fundamentals, not market noise. ๐Ÿ•ต๏ธ ๐Ÿฏ) ๐—ฅ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—น ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐˜€๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ฐ๐—ต ๐˜€๐˜๐—ถ๐—น๐—น ๐—บ๐—ฎ๐˜๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐˜€ โ€” ๐—ป๐—ผ๐˜„ ๐—บ๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฎ๐—ป ๐—ฒ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ A recent NYU study found the median investor spends just six minutes researching a stock โ€” and most of that is just staring at the price chart ๐Ÿคฆ Back in the day, Wall Street ran literal boiler rooms โ€” cold-calling people to sell stocks over the phone with flashy pitches and zero substance. Fast forward to now? Same hype, just with slicker apps and influencer thumbnails. Buffett? He was the total opposite. ๐Ÿ“ฆ He ordered printed annual reports by mail ๐Ÿ“– Read every line, ran the numbers by hand ๐Ÿง  Made long-term decisions rooted in real business value โ€œThe stock market is a device for transferring money from the impatient to the patient.โ€ Today, weโ€™ve got infinite data, AI summaries, dashboards, Reddit, Discords โ€” but the edge isnโ€™t in having more info, itโ€™s in doing the hard work others wonโ€™t. Discipline, not access, is where alpha is found. Have discipline!
