The Dangerous Illusion of Being Diversified

Image
Are you diversified? The other day a woman mentioned that she had read that diversifying would reduce risk, so she had bought a bunch of different ETFs to ensure she was diversified. At that time, she didn’t know about the fact sheet that every ETF has and that it’s possible to see a list of the stock holdings in an ETF. It turned out that there were major overlaps, the holdings were basically the same, and she wasn’t diversified as she thought she was. This story reminded me of one of my first experiences being a speculator. In my mid 20’s I invested in microcredit. I supported small, female businesses in Africa by giving a credit and in return earning a small interest. I knew about diversification, so I invested in multiple African countries and in many different areas of business (delis, hair salons, tailor, agricultural business etc.). To me it was more about contributing to these ladies, rather than getting my money back.  Overall, it went well - a few loans defaulted but over...

How Does Warren Buffett Find Outstanding Businesses?

Image
How does Buffett find outstanding businesses like Apple? This was recently revealed by one of the top managers in Warren Buffett’s company Berkshire Hathaway – Todd Combs. We can be grateful to Todd because now we have greater insights into Buffett’s formula that has given an outstanding return of 20% for over half a century.  Me in front of Warren Buffett's house, July 2022 We’ve known about the Combs and Buffett Saturday afternoon meetings at Buffett’s house in Omaha Nebraska, but we haven’t had insights into what is being discussed in those meetings. That’s what Todd Combs recently revealed at the “Graham & Dodd Annual Breakfast”.  According to Combs the meetings in Buffett’s house often Warren Buffett frequently asks these three questions: How many names in the S&P are going to be 15x earnings in the next 12 months?  How many are going to earn more in five years (using a 90% confidence interval),  How many will compound at 7% (using a 50% confidence inte...

Where does Warren Buffett live? Your itinerary to Omaha

Image
If you ever have the opportunity to visit Warren Buffett’s hometown Omaha in Nebraska, this is what you absolutely must do while you’re visiting: Scroll down for more photos of his house Warren Buffett’s Home 5505 Farnam St., Omaha, NE 68132 You may think that a billionaire like Warren Buffett lives in a mansion in a gated community. But this couldn’t be farther from the truth. His house is a modest home in a quiet neighborhood of Omaha. It’s only a few minutes from Downtown Omaha yet the neighborhood is calm and quiet and absolutely lovely. It takes Warren Buffett approximately 7 minutes to drive from home to work at the Berkshire Hathaway HQ (unless he stops by at McDonalds – read below) One thing I thought was sweet was the water dispenser for passing-by pets on the sidewalk outside the gate. Gorat's Steakhouse 4917 Center St, Omaha, NE 68106 My husband and I had the most amazing experience at Gorat’s Restaurant, which is one of Buffett’s favorite places, where he takes family m...
