“By Far the Best Book on Investing Ever Written.”- Mr. Warren Buffett.
So, by this you can understand that WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT FOR Us. And How much we can get ideas from this book about “INVESTMENT”
This is “GLORY OF INVESTMENT”
This Book is a bundle of 20 chapters.
But here we are going to summaries it in TOP 5 LEARNING LESSONS.
So, lets start to know- WHY IS THIS CALLED “BIBLE OF INVESTMENT”
1- TYPE OF INVESTOR
Check your self.
Now the time has come to check, which type INVESTOR you are?
There are mainly TWO types of investors.
-
ACTIVE/ENTEPRISING INVESTOR-
If you don’t copy others and use your own BRAIN-INTELLIGENCY to pick up any share.
Active investors play with RISK and focus on PAST-PRESENT-FUTURE performance of share and use their skill.
2.PASSIVE/DEFENSIVE INVESTOR-
If you are looking for SAFETY and invest with LOW RISK.
As- FDs, Bonds. so you are in this category.
It is very easy to check your type. And it is easy to understand.
So, before investment check your ability and your mind set.
Then invest accordingly that.
If you can’t pay regular attention on MARKET then choose FDs and Bonds.
But if you can take risk and watch MARKET then invest on STOCKS. MUTUAL FUND contains average risk. They are also affected by MARKET.
2- INFLATION
The VALUE of Money is Decreasing.
Are you surprised??
Don’t be. Because the “VALUE OF MONEY IS DECREASING IN DAY BY DAY”.
INFLATION shows that “BUYING POWER OF RUPEE-1 IS DECREASING DAY BY DAY.
We should focus on Investment of MONEY not to collect it.

INTELLIGENT INVESTOR always thinks for Long time investment like 7 to 10 years.

So, you should also think for long time and good managed company to invest.
