· Benjamin Graham and The Intelligent Investor :
Graham is often called the "Dean of Wall Street" and
the father of value investing, as one of the most important early proponents of
financial security analysis. He championed the idea that the investor should
look at the market as though it were an actual entity and potential business
partner—Graham called this entity "Mr. Market"—that sometimes asks
for too much or too little money to be bought out.
It would be difficult to summarize all of Graham's theories in
full. At its core, value investing is about identifying stocks that have
been undervalued by
the majority of stock market participants.
He believed that stock prices were frequently wrong due to irrational and
excessive price fluctuations (both upside and downside). Intelligent investors,
said Graham, need to be firm in their principles and not follow the crowd.
Graham wrote The
Intelligent Investor in 1949 as a guide for the common investor. The book championed
the idea of buying low-risk securities in a highly diversified,
mathematical way. Graham favored fundamental
analysis, capitalizing on the difference between a
stock's purchase price and
its intrinsic value
- · Entering the Investment Field :
Before working for Benjamin Graham, Buffett had been an
investment salesman—a job that he liked doing, except when the stocks he
suggested dropped in value and lost money for his clients. To minimize the
potential of having irate clients, Buffett started a partnership with his close friends and family. The
partnership had unique restrictions attached to it: Buffett himself would invest
only $100 and, through re-invested management fees, would grow his stake in the
partnership. Buffett would take half of the partnership’s gains over 4% and
would repay the partnership a quarter of any loss incurred.
Furthermore, money could only be added or withdrawn from the
partnership on December 31, and partners would have no input about the
investments in the partnership.
By 1959, Buffett had opened a total of seven partnerships and had a 9.5% stake in more than a million
dollars of partnership assets. Three years later by the time he was 30, Warren
was a millionaire and merged all of his partnerships into a single entity.
- · Buying Berkshire Hathaway :
In 1962, Buffett saw an opportunity to invest in a New England textile company called Berkshire Hathaway and bought some of its stock. Buffett began to aggressively buy shares after a dispute with its management convinced him that the company needed a change in leadership. Ironically, the purchase of Berkshire Hathaway is one of Buffett major regrets.
·
Philanthropy :
In February 2011, Buffett attended a ceremony at the White
House where he, along with fourteen others, received a Presidential Medal of
Freedom, which is America’s highest civilian honor. It was awarded by President
Obama, who said the people being awarded were “some
of the most extraordinary people in America and around the world”. Since the year 2000, Buffett has donated more than $46 billion, making
him the most charitable billionaire. It was always his aim to build up wealth
in order to give it away to help the wider society.
