8 ways to investing advice for beginners by Warren Buffetts

MARKETPEDIA      Warren Buffett's best investing advice for beginners Warren Buffett, “When a person with money meets a person with experience, the one with experience ends up with the money and the one with money leaves with experience.” This was Warren Buffett’s response, on his 87th birthday, when asked about his best investment advice. He says that experience is the ultimate key to be a successful investor. However, what about those who are new to investing? What if you don’t have any experience? Well, fortunately you can learn from investors who DO have experience – investors like Warren Buffett himself. Take a look at these 8 proven investment tips from Warren Buffett: 1.Diversification isn't always a good idea Many good investors stress the importance of diversification. But Warren Buffett tends to disagree with the idea. Buffett says that diversification is for people who don’t know much about investing. An experienced investor should choose stocks on a long-term basis and should have faith on his/her investments. Some investors diversify their portfolios because they are afraid that any one stock might sink their entire portfolio; but, while doing so, it becomes much harder to keep track of the current events impacting each company. So, by diversifying, they might reduce the volatility of their portfolio, but at the same time they reduce their focus on individual investments. Buffett waits for opportunities to buy good stocks, and when those opportunities come his way, he takes full advantage. According to Buffett, “When it’s raining gold, put out the bucket not the thimble.” 2.Invest in yourself first "The best investment you can make is in your own abilities. Anything you can do to develop your own abilities or business is likely to be more productive." Warren Buffett says that the best investment one can make is on his/her own abilities. Most people are not going to make most of their money from the stock market. They’re going to make it from their careers. So, put yourself first. Buffett’s partner Charlie Munger had a similar thought. Munger’s secret to success: sell yourself an hour each day, and use that hour to make yourself better.       3.Trust yourself to be a successful investor Buffett says that the hardest thing is to trust your investment decisions. You always think that others are right and you are wrong. Instead, you need to study and believe in yourself. To be successful, you need to overcome the fear and not pay attention to what others are telling you. Accumulate knowledge and make investment decisions on your own to stand separate from the crown and be a winner.   4.Only make investments that you understand Warren Buffett says that many people think quite a bit before making any investment – and sometimes think TOO much. Buffett cautions that you should never invest in businesses that you don’t fully understand. He says that if before he invests in the stock of a company, he has to first understand how the company makes money and the main drivers that impact its industry in no more than 10 minutes. If he’s not able to understand it in 10 minutes, he moves on to evaluate another company on this basis. Most people can’t predict the next fashion trend among teenagers or whether or not a medicine will be successful in the market. Even if  you had more data than anyone else, it’s still impossible to predict the future with 100% accuracy. In situations that rely on an accurate forecast of the future, Buffett advises not to invest. If it’s complex for you, just look for other businesses to invest in. Buffet once said that out of about 10,000+ publicly-traded firms, he would like to invest in only a few hundred companies – before even taking valuation into account! 5.Make sure you choose the right news to focus on One of the best investment tips from Warren Buffett is to not put too much stock (no pun intended) into each and every news headline that you see. Buffett believes in the 99-1 rule. Most investors take actions based on 1% of the financial news they consume. Doing so, they quickly sell their stocks whenever bad news comes up – e.g. a company’s revenues have fallen by 10%. If the company in this particular example has been in business for, say, 100 years, then Buffett says that it’s definitely capable of withstanding such events. In other words, people often tend to overreact. 6.Buying a stock of a company is buying a part of a business Imagine you’re buying an ownership stake in the convenience store around the corner from your house. Automatically you’ll think about the competition, suppliers, prices, etc.  You’ll have to think both about the specific location as well as its competitive position in the market. Similarly, while buying stocks, you need to think about all these things – just as the people running the business do. When you buy a stock, you’re not just buying a piece of paper or a ticker symbol. Buying the stock of a company is buying an ownership stake in a BUSINESS. 7.Learn from your mistakes and move on You might be astonished to know that even Warren Buffett makes mistakes – big ones too. But he makes sure that he learns from his mistakes. Buffett advises keeping a record of the mistakes you’ve made so that you know what went wrong and make sure you don’t repeat them again. Buffett further says that you should share these lessons with your children and grandchildren so that they know what mistakes not to commit. 8.Don't be a day trader According to Buffett, the secret to getting a better return on investment is to buy a stock and forget about it. He believes in having a buy-and-hold mentality and insists on holding stocks for decades. There are two principles behind this: (1) if you buy a stock for less than it’s true worth, the stock’s price will eventually converge with its intrinsic value; and (2) if you buy a wonderful business, the value of that business will compound and increase exponentially the longer you hold on to it.  So, the patient investor will ultimately be rewarded if they hold on to their stocks for a longer time. For Buffett, time is the friend of a wonderful business. “If you aren’t willing to own a stock for 10 years, don’t even think about owning it for ten minutes.” He says that if you constantly buy and sell stocks, it’ll take away a significant percentage of your returns in the form of trading commissions and taxes. So, it’s better to buy great stocks and holding them for a long time.

Signs - Loves You Secretly

1. They remembers important dates.

When we deeply care about someone, it’s hard to remember every significant detail. So, when the guy in your life makes a point of acknowledging something like this, take note. He wouldn’t ask you how your niece’s twelfth birthday last Wednesday was if he wasn’t purposefully, sweetly, keeping tabs on you.

2.They wants to know everything about you.

once you like someone, even the most boring detail about them becomes golden. If he mentions his favorite soup is minestrone, you file that away forever. Guys are no different in this respect

3. They makes an effort with your loved ones

Your friends or family are not overly critical of prospective romantic partners, there’s still going to be some tension. Keeping that in mind, you can see how only someone who’s interested in something real would make that kind of effort.

4. They pays attention to you more than anyone else.

This one will be evident just from how much time he spends standing near and listening to you, but it’ll be shown in subtler ways, too. For example, you might notice that he watches you for your reaction to something instead of at the person talking. Maybe he makes a joke and you’re always the first person he looks at to see if you laughed.

5. They notices the little things.

The guy who’s really into you will notice the smaller details. If you stop wearing the necklace you always sport or suddenly start wearing nail polish, he’ll be the one to comment on it.

6. He’ll make sacrifices for you.

No one should have to make constant sacrifices for another person in a relationship, and all effort should be mutual. But when a guy shows you he’s willing to be inconvenienced in some way for your sake, it shows selflessness.

7. He values your opinion.

When a guy respects you as a partner, they want your opinion on different parts of his life. Even if he doesn’t always take your advice, talking it out with you will be a vital part of his decision-making process.

5 {Easy} strategy to {Build} the {E-Commerce}

MARKETPEDIA      E-commerce: Time to build muscle through strategic purchases or alliances Even before the COVID-19 pandemic, one could see the consolidation trends playing out in the e-commerce space.  With VCs more cautious in handing out big cheques learnt through the perilous journey of high-profile valuations being humbled when attempting to go public, along with a shift in approach from 'growth-at-all-costs' funding to increased focus on unit economics and path to profitability.   The M&A trend has accelerated and brought to the forefront because of the pandemic, with Indian small/niche startups struggling to stay afloat in these testing times.   By some estimates over 25-30% of them might not make it due to a complete halt in operations, increase in competition, limited cash runway.   A pattern is emerging where leaders of the pack along with the key players in the chase are seeking strategic purchases or alliances to become a more dominant force in the space making them more attractive to both VCs and consumers.   There is substantial value to be unlocked when a collaboration/acquisition is done right - helping speed up growth, improving margins, access to bigger markets and shorten the sprint to profitability.        There are several factors influencing this accelerated trend brought about both by caution in investors and high-growth companies leaping to a higher plane.            1.Narrowing the field of competitors Younger startups, especially in high-growth areas will, in today's environment, may find it challenging to enjoy the enviable valuations of their older peers.    In a hyper-competitive environment and in a natural order of things, peers in the space may have complementary strengths and weaknesses.   Exploring synergies, easing the burden and the potential for a better performance, entrepreneurs can explore innovative ways to stay relevant, improve market performance or better yet reach profitability.       2.Be the disruptor (to break apart) Technologies are vulnerable to disruption, evolution, and competition has been one of the Internet’s defining successes. Increasingly, the focus post acquiring a bigger piece of the pie in terms of market share, companies are focusing on acquiring technologies, to stay ahead of the curve in terms of disruption.  We have witnessed companies strengthening their foundation with the latest technologies to attract customers (AR/VR) and maintain VC interest by displaying an "on-trend" approach.   This will also help bring in scarce talent to the ranks, apart from a boost in capabilities.       3.Ramp up (increase the level or amount of something sharply) Acquisitions can help escalate the pace of adoption in the market - from a domestic perspective or international players looking to expand their footprint in India or Indian players expanding overseas.   The interesting trend here is, it bodes well that it is not only larger businesses that are acquiring startups, there are other smaller players are identifying alliances or acquisition opportunities to bring better value add to their offerings. Leveraging the combined pool of customers, partners, suppliers, etc. could open-up new avenues of revenues which the combined entity could take advantage of.   4.Excess Baggage (luggage weighing more than the limit allowed on an aircraft and liable to an extra charge) Some companies on the back of enormous investments have navigated into segments not core to their business. Companies can unlock capital by losing the excess baggage to a better suitor.   While it is good for companies to diversify, the key will be for businesses to focus on the revenue-churners. For the opportune, it may be a right time to look for suitable acquisition and bolster their offerings at a bargain.   5.The need to pivot (the need to turn) Pivoting occurs when the entrepreneur shifts the direction to accommodate changes, and the current environment is bringing about a sea of change in consumer behaviour.    Pivoting can comprise anything from shifting targets to another set of customers, re-purpose existing offerings, deploying different technologies for building products.   Finding the right acquisition target can help quickly bring to life the new vision and direction. We have already witnessed several companies venture into categories traditionally not in their field of play.                                           Conclusion While a lot of founders may be hesitant towards M&A, finding right synergies, change management, proper planning and execution can increase chances of success and can lead to significant shareholder value. A time like this provides some interesting opportunities to expand markets, improve offerings, and provide new innovations.
