Van echte paniek op de beurs is nog net geen sprake maar heel veel scheelt het onderhand niet meer. De AEX noteert al meer dan 100 punten oftewel zo’n 20% onder de piek van vorig jaar. In minder dan twee jaar werd olie ruim 70% goedkoper en de Chinese beurs staat enkel dit jaar al 18% in de min.
Wanneer aandelenmarkten alsmaar dalen lijkt het op een gegeven moment verstandig aandelen in de uitverkoop te doen en te wachten op betere tijden. Maar is dat eigenlijk wel zo verstandig? Wij selecteerden een aantal aansprekende quotes van Warren Buffett die beleggers volgens ons maar beter ter harte nemen.

1. Focus altijd op de lange termijn
“If you aren’t willing to own a stock for ten years, don’t even think about owning it for ten minutes. Put together a portfolio of companies whose aggregate earnings march upward over the years, and so also will the portfolio’s market value.”
“Over the long term, the stock market news will be good. In the 20th century, the United States endured two world wars and other traumatic and expensive military conflicts; the Depression; a dozen or so recessions and financial panics; oil shocks; a flu epidemic; and the resignation of a disgraced president. Yet the Dow rose from 66 to 11,497.”
2. Prijs is wat anders dan waarde
“Long ago, Ben Graham taught me that ‘Price is what you pay; value is what you get.’ Whether we are talking about socks or stocks, I like buying quality merchandise when it is marked down.”
“For some reason, people take their cues from price action rather than from values. What doesn’t work is when you start doing things that you don’t understand or because they worked last week for somebody else. The dumbest reason in the world to buy a stock is because it’s going up.”
3. Laat u niet meeslepen door emoties
“Look at market fluctuations as your friend rather than your enemy; profit from folly rather than participate in it.”
“The most important quality for an investor is temperament, not intellect. You need a temperament that neither derives great pleasure from being with the crowd or against the crowd.”
“Unless you can watch your stock holding decline by 50% without becoming panic-stricken, you should not be in the stock market.”
“We simply attempt to be fearful when others are greedy and to be greedy only when others are fearful.”
