TAK ADA investor yang selalu tepat!! EVEN BUFFET ISN'T PERFECT!!

EVEN I MADE MISTAKES.... said buffet :D

Investor yang selalu tepat itu TAK ADA, yang terbaik yang bisa kita harapkan adalah berbuat KESALAHAN YANG LEBIH SEDIKIT daripada pesaing kita - taken from books "the great investor - glen arnold, pages 428)


Even the "oracle of Omaha" Warren Buffet makes mistakes too
Berikut penulis kutip 3 kesalahan terbesar Om Buffet

Here are three of Buffett's worst ever investments.

1. An ego-fueled purchase of Berkshire Hathaway
Yes, one of Buffett's biggest ever mistakes was the purchase of the company he now runs day to day -- Berkshire Hathaway.

In 1962, Berkshire Hathaway was nothing more than a textile mill slowly losing business to cheaper foreign suppliers. Buffett thought that even though the business would eventually fail, the assets in the business made it an attractive investment.

In 1964, the company was run by a man named Seabury Stanson. He made a verbal offer to buy Buffett's stock at $11.50 per share. Buffett agreed. But when the offer came in writing, Stanson offered only $11.375 per share, a tiny haircut from his original offer.

This enraged Buffett, who then went on a mission to buy more shares of Berkshire Hathaway and fire Stanson. He did just that. But he later recounted that he overpaid for the poorly performing company, a mistake that had cost him hundreds of billions in lost profits from other, better companies.

2. Buffett's airline blunder
Buffett followers know the man is no fan of airlines. They're extremely competitive, require large amounts of investment capital, and hard to run profitably.

However, in 1989 Buffett acquired preferred stock in US Airways, securing a 9.25% dividend yield and the option to convert his $358 million in preferred stock into common stock at $60 per share.

US Airways headed down a troubled path. At the 1997 annual meeting of Berkshire shareholders, Buffett said his investment "was protected, but that was before Southwestshowed up with 8-cent seat costs." At the time, US Airways seat-costs per mile were in the 12 cent range. US Airways simply couldn't compete.

By sheer luck and a bull market, Buffett later exited at a profit. But his exit came after serious mental stress, with the loss of dividend income for more than two years, and at the cost of many more millions from better investments he could have made instead.

3. A stinky shoe company
In 1993, Buffett acquired Dexter Shoes, an American shoe company. At the time, Buffett said the company earned $40 million per year pre-tax, and he acquired the company with 1.6% of Berkshire's stock.

Unfortunately, Dexter ran into competitive pressure. The profits dwindled, and Buffett chalks it up as one of his worst mistakes. Today, 1.6% of Berkshire Hathaway is worth nearly $5 billion. Dexter Shoes is, for all measurable purposes, essentially worthless. He traded partial ownership of a great business, Berkshire, for one destined to fail.

Nah Berikut kesalahan penulis sewaktu belajar "maen" saham sewaktu kuliah di 2008 :

1) ASRI beli 220 turun ke 50 (first buy stock disuru broker beli target hanya 225 , lalu melaju ke 50 perak lol)

2) KIJA 178 turun ke 50 (sama pesen broker)

3) ELSA 550 turun ke 50 (beli pas IPO - It's Probably Overpriced) --> menurut pengalaman penulis hampir 100% overpriced saham2 IPO

4) ENRG 880 turun ke 60-70an (i don't know why i bought the stocks haha)

anyway masih banyak lagi pengalaman penulis yang menyakitkan sekaligus menjadi cambuk bagi penulis untuk belajar lebih lanjut mengenai dunia persahaman... 

Total kerugian maen saham penulis penulis rasa udah sama kaya kuliah S1 penulis haha

IT'S WORTH A LOT!!

Jika 1jt, berbunga 20% setahun selama 20 tahun , maka pada akhir tahun ke 20 akan bernilai 38 jt

Krg lebih penulis sudah membuang hampir 1 jt dollar yang seharusnya penulis dapatkan di akhir tahun ke 20 selama masa pembelajaran saham.. BAH!!

andai saja penulis mau berinvestasi terhadap "knowledge" .. It doesn't have to be this way..

Wise people says.. 

Great people spend their money "neck above" , Common people spend their money "neck below"

haha.. i trully understand that now.. lol

After incident 2008, i changed my habbits..

Sewaktu kuliah orang ke gramedia beli komik, penulis beli buku saham , majalah investor, buku bisnis, pokonya semuanya tentang saham dan bisnis..

Yeah.. becaming a nerd.. i feel that way sometimes..

Dari Sma mantan kapten basket, ga kebayang kuliah jadi tukang baca buku sampe sekarang.. haha

ckckck.. anyway next..

penulis mungkin ceritain hidup penulis some other time..

but.. poin yang ingin penulis sampaikan sebagai penutup tahun 2013, hanya 2 hal :

1) Selalu tajamkan kapak Anda!! invest your time in knowledge

2) Jika jatuh 10x bangunlah 11x!! Quitters never wins, and Winners never quit

Stay tuned
