Cevodniya…. ‘ Probably the greatest individual investor in history, Buffett, clearly says, buy a great company at a cheap price, one that has a moat, be it technical, financial or serviceable and hold.
Never try to time the market.’
It’s ok if you were investing when you were a kid and built up wealth for 50 years…
For many on here I guess that’s never been possible, I started with 2k 6 years ago and have built mine upto a nice 6 figure sum. If I went with the Warren Buffett approach I would have a low double digit figure still!
I hold Standard life. I trade half and I hold half. Both have done well but my trading half is double that of which I continually hold! Similar story with Carnival.
There's always a different approach and neither is wrong!
Also didn’t Buffett sell his Airline stocks just before they climbed 300-500% in the last 5 years!
Was he trying to time the market….
