Warren Buffett’s Letter 1999
Accepting mistakes – Mr. Buffett has accepted mistake of poor equity performance during the year 1999. Though they have a wonderful track record, they do not get trapped with the overconfidence, does not show any excuses, stay down to earth and stick with the reality.
Example of Management Quality
Example of Indian Companies
One of the footwear company in India
One of the diagnostic chain company of India
Mr. Buffett has given his view on Tech Companies –
We should have to define and written own investment philosophy and need to follow it strictly. If some of the investment opportunity does not fall under our investment philosophy then we should avoid it, though everyone else wants to capture a particular investment opportunity.
Business with a valuation –
Warren Buffett’s Letter 2000
Mr. Buffet has mentioned that line between speculation and investment is not clear and blur so we have to identify the investment process according to our course of action. The definition given by Mr. Benjamin Graham can be useful to us for identifying investment process – “An investment operation is one which, upon thorough analysis, promises safety of principal and an adequate return. Operation not meeting these requirements are speculative.”
Example of the Indian companies which have a higher related party transaction
One of the Cable manufacturing company
One of the spirit company of India
We have seen into the current scenario that when people have started believing that investing/speculating to the equities provides them a higher return (no one remembers what Ben Graham said for return – should expect reasonable return) then only bubble started to build up.
