Warren Buffett started investing at 11 and experimented with various strategies until he read "The Intelligent Investor" by Ben Graham in 1949.

Graham's book provided Warren with a philosophical framework for investing and taught the most important principles.

The most important principles he has learned and applied are summarized below.

Three Key Principles:

  1. Valuing a stock as part of a business.
  2. Reacting to stock market fluctuations with a margin of safety.
  3. Investing in businesses with enduring competitive advantages run by honest and able people at a sensible price.

Buffet also advises focusing on a few good investment ideas and not making frivolous purchases. He also emphasizes the importance of understanding the nature of a business and investing in businesses with a "moat" or competitive advantage. Finally, he suggests that investors should focus on investments that can “move the needle” and not waste time on small investments.
