💰Warren Buffett on How to Value a Company


Hey Reader,

Warren Buffett once said, “Nobody buys a farm based on whether they think it’s going to rain next year. They buy it because they feel good about owning it over 10 or 20 years.”
Why it matters. Invest in businesses you’d hold for decades, not stocks you’d flip next quarter. Ignore short-term noise and focus on durable companies.

In today's issue:

  • Warren Buffett explains his approach to valuing a company.
  • Google is fighting back against the rumors Search is coming to an end.
  • Moats and balance sheets, important ways to analyze both.
  • Much more.....
