When it comes to investing as clever as possible, the financial world has always been looking at a man: Warren Buffett. What did the US investor and multi -illiardigar make so successful?
“No question if Warren Buffett does what, then the stock exchange hears exactly,” says Jürgen Molnar. Molnar worked as a dealer on the Frankfurt parquet for years, today he is a capital market expert in the Trading platform Robomarkets. He still feels like many others: Warren Buffett, he says, is a legend. And also a role model.
One example is the 2008 financial crisis. At that time, Buffett of the Goldman Sachs investment bank borrowed $ five billion. “There are films about where you can see how the big ones sat together and said: Minister of finance, if nothing happens here, we will be dead tomorrow,” said Molnar. “And then Warren Buffett showed size and borrowed five billion – that was a giant amount at the time. And with that he kept Goldman Sachs alive.”
“Practically all of North America bought together “
Buffett bought his first stock at the age of eleven, financed by the sale of chewing gum, lemonade and newspapers. As the son of a Wall Street broker, he came into contact with the financial market early on-and was fascinated. Although his father did not support this himself. Buffett really wanted to work on the stock exchange.
However, he only founded the foundation of his success around 25 years after the purchase of his first stock: with Berkshire Hathaway, a holding company that he simply took over, as Hendrik Leber from the Fondgesellschaft says Acatis. “Because he had annoyed himself about the boss and said: I throw it out now”.
The stock market course was at twelve dollars at the time, today it is around $ 800,000. “It is the largest insurer, the largest power generator, the largest railway operator,” says expert Leber. “He practically bought all of North America together in his Berkshire Hathaway.”
Supplier of Börsen wisdoms
With wisdom like “Be Greedy when others are afraid, but be anxious when others are greedy,” Buffet also stood against the market. For example, if there were exaggerations for stock corporations, which only came about through the hope of speculative profits. Never go with the mass, always thinking, was his advice. And he was successful: his assets were estimated at $ 133 billion last year.
So Buffett became a kind of guru for his followers – he is often called the “Oracle of Omaha”. “Warren Buffett was always the fixed star that gave an orientation in difficult stock market phases,” said Leber, who was the head of his holding as the head of his holding in May.
“He has the long -term approach”
Never invest in something that you do not understand – this is also a motto and advice from Buffett. Now it has become a little quieter around the man from Omaha. Still, the Frankfurt stock exchange dealer Tim Oechnser is certainly definitely, but it will certainly not be a buffet at the age of 95.
“He has the long -term approach,” says Oechnser. “He is successful with it, he buys what he understands. And the market will always look: What does buffet do?”
