What is the most expensive stock in the world?
-
Naturally, you would think about worlds most expensive companies like Amazon or apple.
-
Believe it or not, this company is twice smaller than Apple and yet it's the stock price is
-
multiple times higher.
-
It's probably more expensive than your mortgage.
-
In fact, you would have to save every penny you earn for 6 straight years to be able to
-
buy this stock.
-
In other words, if you want to invest with Warren Buffet, you should have at least 322
-
200 dollars to buy a single stock.
-
That's not surprising considering that the stock price has increased by almost 8 thousand
-
since the company was founded.
-
Graph If you would have invest just a thousand dollars
-
back then in Berkshire Hathaway, you would have made around 10 million dollars by 2014.
-
Of course, we can't go back in time and invest in this company but what we can do is learn
-
how to invest like him.
-
and in this video, we are going to breakdown his two most important rules of investing.
-
The first one is - Never Lose Money!
-
I know that it sounds quite absurd as if Buffett is making fun of us, but if you give it a
-
closer look there are logical reasons why most people lose money in the stock market,
-
and your job is to simply avoid these traps by understanding the rules of the game that
-
many investors neglect.
-
If you take a look at the companies that are traded in the market, they have a price tag,
-
but because no one can afford that, even you Jeff, they are broken down into many many
-
stocks, but the key question here is, does this company really worth 925 billion dollars.
-
The answer is No.
-
You see there is a big difference between the price and value.
-
The stock price jumps up and down every single day, even slightly negative news that could
-
be even fake can drive the price down However not the value because the value is what the
-
company really worth.
-
For instance, Apple released iPhone XR at the end of 2018, and sales weren't as high
-
as people expected, as a result of that, Apple got a lot of negative press, which drove
-
the stock price down from 230 dollars to 160 dollars within 3 months.
-
That's a really big jump!
-
But did the company became 30 or 40 percent less valuable in such a short period of time!
-
Of course No, even though iPhone sales were down, the company recorded higher profit compared
-
to the previews year! that's exactly why the stock price jumped back to over 200 dollars.
-
when the entire world was talking about how Warren buffet lost billions of dollar because
-
he invested in Apple, he didn't give a damn.
-
He even wanted the stock to decrease further so that he can buy more of it.
-
Because he understands the difference between value and price.
-
In fact, He once said: Risk comes from not knowing what you are doing.
-
In other words, Warren doesn't like taking the risk because he knows that you might lose
-
money when you take the risk which violates his first rule of investing: Never lose money.
-
So he only invests in businesses that are clearly undervalued.
-
Of course, you can't completely eliminate the risk but you can decrease it to its bare
-
minimum.
-
In 2002, Buffett came across a company called, PetroChina, after looking at its financial
-
statements, it was clear that this company worth around a hundred billion dollars, but
-
when he looked at its stock price, the company was valued only at 30 billion
-
dollars, he knew that its a golden opportunity.
-
and based on the political climate, Buffett anticipated that oil prices will either rise
-
or at least stay stable.
-
So he invested almost half a billion dollars in this company (488M).
-
Guess what happened, with the rise of oil price, the company didn't only reach a 100
-
billion dollar valuation as buffet thought, it skyrocketed to 275 billion dollars.
-
Buffet sold his share and made 3.6 billion dollars.
-
Not bad, right!?
-
All right, we are clear about the first rule, but what about the second one!
-
Never forget rule one!
-
I know that it sounds absurd, but if you take a look at any company Buffett has invested,
-
you will notice that he followed the exact same philosophy!
-
and since it made him worlds the richest investor, I think it works!
-
So, Good luck!
