Copy and Paste from Fool.com - Warren's investing recipe
To summarize, Buffett has a winning investing recipe:
- Find great companies.
- Buy them at great prices.
- Invest only when the odds are in your favor.
That's the winning combination. You may roll your eyes at how easy it is to comprehend, but I assure you that it's not easy to put into practice on a daily basis.
This is the recipe we use at Motley Fool Million Dollar Portfolio. For example, we've twice recommended Under Armour (NYSE: UA) at prices we believe undervalue the company. It's a growing concern with a solid competitive advantage in its market, and we're more than willing to hold this company for the next five to 10 years to give us the chance for multibagger returns.
Besides playing the Oil stocks, these and other quality high interest short stocks are just some ideas to get you back in the game if you've been waiting on the sidelines.
Happy Safe Investing.
