Ten Financial Lessons We Can Learn from Warren Buffett

As I mentioned last week, I am swamped with the end of tax season (my brain is also mush) and I don’t have the time to write a post today. However, I was sent this Warren Buffett link that I really like and thought I would post it today.

I am often deluged with offers of articles, payments and infographics "for links" to various websites and I always dismiss them. I only post blogs by guest writers that I have worked with personally and have no hidden links (at least that I am aware of). So while the following is promoting online universities, I actually quite like this infographic and have decided to share it anyways.

    Too bad I can't read most of it because of image rescaling.

    Sorry, I am just an accountant not a programmer, so I have no idea how to fix or the time to find out how. It works on my IE and my Firefox which are my two basic tests

    Unless you _are_ Warren Buffet, most of this is terrible advice. Buffet himself has often stated that people should not try to pick stocks, but rather should invest in low-cost index funds: http://www.reuters.com/article/2007/05/07/berkshire-indexfunds-idUSN0628419820070507

      Fair enough. But his basic principles can be used by many non index players

    Hmmm, that toilet roll thing. I wonder what my wife will say when she finds me unravelling a roll and I tell her I'm working on my investment skills. Enjoyed this post.
