Here are two useful tips shared by Buffett. I think this will increase your chances of finding attractive stocks to add to your portfolio.

Warren Buffett informs him of what he is looking for

Suppose you want to buy a used car, or the first edition of a rare antique book. It is very unlikely that it will come your way by sitting indoors and doing nothing.

Each year, in his annual shareholder letter, Buffett reveals what his criteria are for buying a business. If he has a business that sells that meets Buffett’s criteria, often including a phone number, they can contact his company to talk to them about it.

Motley Fool Regularly with some friends in the investment discussion club-or all of the above. However, in my experience, it is very helpful to actively search for information and register resources of people other than yourself in that search.

The virtue of patience

Reading many sources, the language used can sometimes be reminiscent of a bazaar. There is “Once-in-a-lifetime opportunity” When “Urgent idea“.

He waits for years as needed and often does.Indeed, some criticism of some shareholders of his company Berkshire Hathaway It means sitting in a huge pile of cash, not using it in the market.

Buffett thinks it’s right to wait patiently when looking for a good investment idea that fits his investment criteria. Like him, I’m trying to get information from various sources. I digest it during the present, but that doesn’t mean I need to act on it. That’s why I try to wait until I find something that I find a great opportunity.
