    If you are an investor and you want to optimize your stock market returns, it isn’t enough just to pick the right stocks - you must also know how to combine different stocks into a portfolio to maximize potential upside and minimize potential downside. You want to diversify - meaning reducing your risk, but you don’t want to diworsify - meaning reducing your investment returns. Luckily, Warren Buffett has got us covered on this topic, but he thinks that most investors tend to get this one wrong, so listen up.

    Here follows a few of the assumptions I used to compute Buffett’s current portfolio. Please note that these are simplified assumptions, appropriate for creating a pie chart in a video discussing diversification (I think), but I wouldn’t base any investment decisions on this. With that said:
    1. Apple - Value: $135.2b (market value according to CNBC)
    2. BNSF - Value: $128.8b (assuming same P/E as competitor Union Pacific)
    3. BH Reinsurance - Value: $85b ((3y average earnings + 7% returns on float) x P/E 17*)
    4. BH Energy - Value: $71.3b (assuming same P/E as Consolidated Edison)
    5. GEICO - Value: $69.7b ((3y average earnings + 7% returns on float) x P/E 17*)
    6. Bank of America - Value: $49.4b (market value according to CNBC)
    7. BH Primary Insurance - Value: $28.9b ((3y average earnings + 7% returns on float) x P/E 17*)
    8. American Express - Value: $26.4b (market value according to CNBC)
    9. Coca-Cola - Value: $22.5b (market value according to CNBC)
    10. PCC - Value: $20b (purchased in 2016 for $32b and Buffett recently made a write-down on that purchase of $11b, so I think $20b is close to a fair value)
    11. Cash & Equivalents (Parent Company Level) - Value: $12.3b
    12. US T-Bills (Parent Company Level) - Value: $29.8b
    13. Other Listed Securities (40+) - Value: $94.8b (market value according to CNBC)
    14. Other Operating Companies (40+) - Value: $133.3b (the rest have combined pre-tax earnings of something like $10b, and I put a P/E 13 on that)
    *I looked at a bunch of insurance companies, like Progressive, Allstate, Hannover, Swiss Re etc, and although earnings can vary a ton from year to year for these companies, P/E 17 seemed to be the current market valuation for averaged yearly earnings. I notice no obvious difference in valuations between reinsurance and casualty insurance.
    Also note that this will not add up to Berkshire’s current market cap of $650b, and that’s partly because Berkshire is leveraged, partly because the market may not agree with me on these assumptions.

    My goal with this channel is to help you make more money and improve your personal finances. How to become a millionaire? There are many ways to get there - investing in the stock market, becoming a stock trader, doing real estate investing, or why not becoming an entrepreneur? But whether you are interested in how to invest in stocks or investing strategies for creating passive income with rental properties - I hope to be able to provide you with a solution (or at least an idea) here. Warren Buffett - the greatest investor of our time - says that you should fill your mind with competing ideas and then see what makes sense to you. This channel is about filling your mind with those ideas. And in the process - upgrading your money-making toolbox.

    For people looking into index fund, you can go further and go with ETF which are basically funds of funds allowing you to diversify into many market at once including international / emerging markets. They have the bonus of being self rebalancing and usually deal with currency exchange rate themselves when they include foreign assets.

      However, I advise people never to forget the diversification principle, make sure to diversify your investments so that when another is down, the other will be up. You can do so by getting an experienced specialist whose platform has diverse investment choices to choose from. By doing this, you give little room for regrets and perhaps gain more.

    I think sometimes if a good deal comes along and you pour most of your money into it thats fine. But then good deals dont last long and before you know it you have to start looking for another great deal. I think it can make sense to start off only owning a few stocks but over the years scale up the number of stocks you own as more deals come along.

    Great video and exceptional advice, of course it is coming right from the Oracle himself!! I certainly agree about diversify and "diworsify." It is easy to get carried away when it comes to investing and invest into whatever you think looks good or can explode to get you to overnight millionaire if you will, but the reality is rarely does that happen and you lessen the chances of wealth... Sure, diversify your portfolio, but aim to have only the highest conviction stocks of yours within your portfolio and really double down on building momentous positions ... I altered my portfolio mid-2020 taking more of a Bill Ackman approach to investing and the game has changed .... BIG time.

    The most important part of Buffett's sentence at 0:40 "..for anyone who knows what they're doing."
    If you're watching this, there is a 99.9% chance you DO NOT KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING.
    Therefore if you believe you can pick stocks, you are almost certainly shooting yourself in the foot in the long run, the extent of the damage you do to yourself could be anything from just not making as much as if you'd bought the whole haystack, to literally losing every penny you speculate with (yes you aren't an investor, you're a speculator), to even worse with leverage.
    The sooner you stop lying to yourself about how much you actually the know, the quicker you will get rich or save yourself from ruin.

      If there's one point from Peter Lynch worth knowing about - it's that a calm and rational retail investor who is a subject matter expert on something, and creative enough to exploit that knowledge for profit - can win.

    It is about how much money you have to invest that really counts.
    As time went by Warren Buffet made more money so it made sense for him to buy more stocks and still able to invest a lot of money into each stock.
    If you have 1,000 dollars to invest it doesn't make sense to have 10 stocks.

    • @mateuszfejfer1822
      @mateuszfejfer1822 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      I think I have to disagree. When you have more money, you also want to have a bigger income. That's why percentages are more important that the exact values. The two cases where values are important are those that Sweedish Investor has pointed out:
      1. You can make the investing amount back in a couple of months through your salary (you can be more risky then)
      2. You have so much money to invest, that you can't buy as many stocks from a single company as you'd like to since there are simply no more to buy (Warren Buffet's case). I could be wrong, of course, and I welcome counter arguments

    I agree with this thinking. If you own 30 stocks you will most likely earn something close to the average market return, and you can't really keep track of all of them anyway. So you might as well put your money in index funds where dividends get reinvested automatically. I have around 50 % of my portfolio in 3 different stocks, and the other 50 % in index funds.

    Just something to consider is Buffett and Munger became multi millionaires & billionaires from BUYING entire businesses into Berkshire Hathaway, taking them private. When they’ve liked something they’ve literally taken it off the market. Look at Berkshires private portfolio…there’s a huge difference between capital appreciation of owning shares of a company and just buying it outright and collecting 100% of its gross profits not dependent on its stock price. Since his 30’s Buffett has had the kind of wealth where he could bet most of it on one company because he’s had huge valuable assets & businesses he owns to fall back on….and he’s also taken some huge losses on positions too. Most people will never have the kind of money to bet most of it on a few things and hope they’re right because it took them years just to build up that capital in the first place. I do love Warren’s principles but there’s certain things billionaires can do that most people can’t which is take unsubstantiated risk for the potential of huge gains.

    Hey mate! Greetings from Down Under! I use a core satellite approach. I have a core of EFTs and then a satellite of dividend growth shares that I have ranked similarly to yourself. I now have rules about what I buy and when. In my humble opinion, if there are rules (that can be changed if not working for me) then I am more likely not to be tempted by just being human. In my satellite portfolio, I have about 77 stocks because I want dividends paid every day where possible. Why? Because I am living in a country whose AUD is less than USD so that when dividends are spun off, they are added to my buying power which means I need to put in less lower AUDs myself.

    • @TheSwedishInvestor
      @TheSwedishInvestor  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Thomas! The DCF is probably the "ultimate" formula for valuing companies, but sometimes you can get good indications by using the two that you mentioned. DCF is "better" but it takes more time and it is only as good as the assumptions that you make in it (growth of earnings, discount rate etc).

    I think when it comes to value investing, it should be made clear that over the long run, it is a strategy with its ups and downs, like many other strategies. It is perfectly reasonable, however its results are still very much dependent on the markets. Also, when you pick individual stocks, much of the return is coming from factors as market, sector, geography, which you can still get with wider ETFs. This can't be denied but it is often unseen by the value investor. Let alone the time that you have to put into researching stocks - if you have a full time job it is difficult to do it properly.

    Diversification has to go hand in hand with sound investment. I just don't see how a retail investor can bet his fortune on 2-3 companies and expect to make a fortune. Unless he knows A LOT about those companies, it's too risky to concentrate on just a few companies. It's important to earn money and try to keep it, than lose a fair chunk of it in the hope of earning even more.

    Great video! At 4:15 I'm not sure your summary reflected what Buffett meant. You summarised it as scarcity of opportunity, whereas I believe he was referring to scale of opportunity. i.e. they're forced into diversification because they can't invest as much capital as they'd like in individual companies.

As an example for fsd data means everything and there is no way that any company in the world will get more data than Tesla has when they already have a huge lead and they collect much more data than anyone else. Moreover they are building bigger factorys with bigger capacity than anyone else for more evs to get even more data. There is literally no way Tesla is going to lose the ev and fsd race.
