If investing is entertaining, if you’re having fun, you’re probably not making
any money.
Good investing is boring and personal emotions have no place in investing.
If you want to be successful in the long-run, base your investment decisions on
rationality and discipline.
The minute you get away from the fundamentals ’ whether it’s proper technique,
work ethic, or mental preparation ’
the bottom can fall out of your game, your schoolwork, your job, whatever you’re
doing.
The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects it to change; the
realist adjusts the sails.
Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler.
Sometimes investors forget one very crucial thing ’ living.
Take a break from the busy world of investing and do remember to spend quality
time with your loved ones.
The rich invest in time, the poor invest in money.
"We don't get paid for activity, just for being right. As to how long we'll
wait, we'll wait indefinitely."
It is better to be roughly right than precisely wrong.
’The Stock Market is designed to transfer money from the Active to the Patient.’

2. INVESTING IN YOURSELF IS THE BEST THING YOU CAN DO.
ANYTHING THAT IMPROVES YOUR OWN TALENTS,
NOBODY CAN TAX IT OR TAKE IT AWAY FROM YOU.
THEY CAN RUN UP HUGE DEFICITS AND THE DOLLAR CAN BECOME WORTH FAR LESS.
YOU CAN HAVE ALL KINDS OF THINGS HAPPEN, BUT IF YOU'VE GOT TALENT YOURSELF,
AND YOU'VE MAXIMIZED YOUR TALENT,
YOU'VE GOT A TREMENDOUS ASSET THAT CAN RETURN TEN-FOLD. -warren buffett-
IF YOU DONT FEEL COMFORTABLE OWNING SOMETHING FOR 10 YEARS THEN DONT OWN IT FOR
10 MINUTES
DIVERSIFICATION IS A PROTECTION AGAINST IGNORANCE. IT MAKES VERY LITTLE SENSE
FOR THOSE WHO KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING.
A PUBLIC OPINION POLL IS NO SUBSTITUTE FOR THOUGHT
Our job is to find a few intelligent things to do, not to keep up with every
damn thing in the world.
An investment operation is one which, upon thorough analysis, promises safety of
principal and a satisfactory return.
Operations not meeting these requirements are speculative.
judi kalau anda tidak tau apa yang anda lakukan, bahkan hidup kita adalah judi
kalau tidak ada tujuannya..
ya benar bahwa jika kita untung, di lain pihak ada yang rugi..
tapi bukankah itu yang terjadi dalam semua "perdagangan" di dunia ini?
anda beli beras di pasar, maka penjual akan memperoleh untung dan pembeli bisa
disebut mengalami "kerugian"
karena membeli lebih dari harga yang seharusnya dia bayarkan.. tapi apakah hal
itu berarti anda sedang berjudi?
apakah penjual tidak seharusnya mendapat keuntungan?
Anda lah yang bertanggung jawab atas semua aset anda, atas semua yang anda
lakukan.
tugas anda sebagai pembeli untuk membandingkan harga beras di pasar dengan di
carefour atau pasar lainnya (melakukan riset harga)..
saya rasa analogi tersebut cukup jelas untuk membedakan antara judi dan
investasi..
market maker itu hanya menciptakan atau bahasa yang lebih kasar memanipulasi
market,
peperangan sebenernya adalah investor/trader/spekulan dengan dirinya sendiri..
karena sehebat apapun market maker memanipulasi market jika anda tau apa yang
sedang anda lakukan
(dalam hal ini, membeli suatu saham tertentu dengan alasan yang kuat)
maka hanya waktu yang akan menjadi pemisah antara pelaku saham yang sukses
dengan yang tidak..
WARREN BUFFET:
His advice over the years hasn't changed: don't buy or sell stocks based on the
day's headlines.
Ignore your emotions and buy stocks because they represent a good long-term
value.
"I think equities are very attractive for the long term," he says,
but he has no idea if they'll go up or down in price in the coming weeks and
months.
Is he against "high-speed trading?"
Buffett says he's against "active trading of any kind."
You can't know exactly when to buy or sell stocks, he thinks.
"The time to buy stocks is consistently over time."
He adds, "You should never buy your investments with the idea, 'I have to get a
certain return.'
You should look at the best return possible and learn to live with that.
But you should not try to make your investments earn what you feel you need.
It doesn't work that way. The stock doesn't know you own it."

3. “Diversification may preserve wealth, but concentration builds wealth.“
“Great investment opportunities come around when excellent companies
are surrounded by unusual circumstances that cause the stock to be
misappraised.“
“I never buy anything unless I can fill out on a piece of paper my reasons.
I may be wrong, but I would know the answer to that “
I“m paying $32 billion today for the Coca Cola Company because“
If you can“t answer that question, you shouldn“t buy it.
If you can answer that question, and you do it a few times, you“ll make a lot of
money.“
“The most important thing to do if you find yourself in a hole is to stop
digging.“
"What the wise man does in the beginning, the fool does in the end." -Warren
Buffett
“For some reason, people take their cues from price action rather than from
values.
What doesn“t work is when you start doing things that you don“t understand or
because they worked last week for somebody else.
The dumbest reason in the world to buy a stock is because it“s going up.“
“As Buffet said in the speech, “He“s not looking at quarterly earnings
projections, he“s not looking at next year“s earnings,
he“s not thinking about what day of the week it is, he doesn“t care what
investment research from any place says,
he“s not interested in price momentum, volume or anything.
He“s simply asking: What is the business worth?“
You ought to be able to explain why you“re taking the job you“re taking,
why you“re making the investment you“re making, or whatever it may be.
And if it can“t stand applying pencil to paper, you“d better think it through
some more.
And if you can“t write an intelligent answer to those questions, don“t do it
HONESTY IS VERY EXPENSIVE GIFT. DO NOT EXPECT IT FROM CHEAP PEOPLE
HIS ADVICE TO YOUNG PEOPLE: "STAY AWAY FROM CREDIT CARDS (BANK LOANS) AND
INVEST IN YOURSELF AND REMEMBER:
1. MONEY DOESNT CREATE MAN BUT IT IS THE MAN WHO CREATED MONEY.
2. LIVE YOUR LIFE AS SIMPLE AS YOU ARE.
3. DONT DO WHAT OTHERS SAY, JUST LISTEN THEM, BUT DO WHAT YOU FEEL GOOD.
THE MARKET IS THERE TO SERVE YOU AND NOT TO INSTRUCT YOU.
IT IS NOT TELLING YOU WHETHER YOU ARE RIGHT OR WRONG.
THE BUSINESS RESULTS WILL DETERMINE THAT.
I STOLE THAT ONE FROM (FAMED VALUE INVESTOR) BEN GRAHAM
YOU HAVE TO LEARN TO BE AN INVESTOR IF YOU WANT TO BECOME WEALTHY
THE STOCK DOESNT KNOW YOU OWN IT.
YOU HAVE FEELINGS ABOUT IT, BUT IT HAS NO FEELINGS ABOUT YOU.
THE STOCK DOESNT KNOW WHAT YOU PAID.
PEOPLE SHOULDNT GET EMOTIONALLY INVOLVED WITH THEIR STOCKS.
