Before You Sell: 5 Investing Lessons From Warren Buffett

Should a falling stock price make you sell? Hear five investing lessons from Warren Buffett on owning businesses, market timing, knowing your limits, price versus value, and index funds. This short compilation brings together Buffett's original interview and shareholder-meeting remarks, organized into five chapters. He explains why a lower quote alone is not a reason to sell, admits missing the market in March 2020, and shares the thinking behind Berkshire's historical PetroChina investment. CHAPTERS 00:00 When a falling stock price tests you 00:22 Think like an owner 00:37 Forget market timing 01:30 Know your limits 01:58 Price is not value 03:03 The index fund approach CONTEXT These are archival excerpts from 2008, 2018, 2020 and 2022, not a new interview or a current stock recommendation. The PetroChina valuations and oil prices refer to historical circumstances. Buffett's 1942 index-fund illustration is a hypothetical market lookback; an index fund was not available to buy in 1942. Original broadcast headlines also reflect their recording dates.
