Thread: Lets trade Warren Buffets 90/10 index egy with a twist

  1. #1
    This thread is dedied to share ideas and examine legendary Warren Buffet's egy moving forward. . ...

    The good news is that you don#8217;t need to pay a dime for Mr. Buffet#8217;s valuable information. Warren Buffett published the directions he has left to the trustee that will manage his wife8217;s hope in a letter to Berkshire investors. The directions couldn # 8217; t be easier to follow and could fit on the back of an envelope.

    What I counsel here is essentially identical to specific directions I#8217;ve laid out from my own will. 1 bequest provides that cash will be sent to a trustee for the spouse#8217;s benefit#8230;My guie to the trustee could not be simpler: Put 10 percent of the cash in short-term government bonds and 90% at a really low-cost SP 500 index fund. (I suggest Vanguard#8217;therefore) I feel the trust#8217;s long-term consequences from this policy will likely be superior to those attained by most investors-Warren Buffet. . #8230;

    Join me to put one of the greatest investors of all time Warren Buffet's investment information into practice and see how it goes...

    I will provide resources and tips later. .

    This is your list of those bonds and index resources we'll be dealing with.They are at ticker symbols.If you dont understand exactly what a ticker symbol is ,google is your friend. .

    How to trade the Warren Buffet egy with my twist.

    Strategy 1:
    Alloe 90% of your budget to among those LOW COST SP INDEX FUNDS your choice from the list I've provided and 10 percent to among those SHORT TERM GOVERNMENT BONDS from the list provided.

    Strategy 2 :
    Here is my twist to the original warren buffet egy.Buy all the minimal COST SP INDEX FUNDS and all of the SHORT TERM GOVERNMENT BONDS from the record provided.

    We're likely to apply dollar cost averaging to both approaches but we'll spend only on the ideal trading days of the month or year as researched at the pdf connected(Seasonal Stock market Trends). The pdf includes decades of study that we will use to our benefit with the warren buffet egy.This provides us an edge....For those that are not familiar with dollar cost averaging this is exactly what means.

    WHAT IT IS:
    Dollar cost averaging is a egy where an investor puts a predetermined dollar amount into a specified http://www.investinganswers.com/node/4904 (generally http://www.investinganswers.com/node/5025) on a regular basis. The investment generally takes place every month regardless of what is happening from the http://www.investinganswers.com/node/5045. Because of this, once the price of a given investment rises, the investor will be able to buy fewer http://www.investinganswers.com/node/2011. After the price of a security declines, the investor will be able to buy shares.
    HOW IT WORKS (EXAMPLE):
    Let us assume an investor decides to buy $1,000 worth of XYZ Corp. in precisely the same time each month for four weeks. In this example, we will also assume that the http://www.investinganswers.com/node/5150 first declines in value, but http://www.investinganswers.com/node/5874 strongly.


    because you can see from the table above, using a dollar cost averaging egy the investor would have bought 272.22 shares for a total of $4,000. His/her average price per share for this period would have been just $14.69 (calculated as follows: $4000 / $ 272.22 = $14.69). With the stock ending at $18 in the conclusion of this time, the investor's complete standing would now be worth $4,900 (calculated as follows: 272.22 shares * $18 = $4,900). Because of this, the investor would really show a http://www.investinganswers.com/node/2042 of $900 on their own overall standing despite the fact that the stock dropped in value over the full four-month time period (dropping from $20 to $18).
    In contrast, when the investor had made a decision to invest $4,000 in shares of XYZ Corp. all at once in the beginning of this period, then he/she would have bought 200 shares at a price of $20 per share. With the stock finishing at $18 in the end of their four weeks, the investor would have shown a http://www.investinganswers.com/node/489 of -$400 on the stock.
    This example clearly illues the benefits of dollar cost averaging, especially during periods of volatile share prices.
    WHY IT MATTERS:
    Countless investors around the globe use dollar cost averaging because it offers the following benefits:It's an attractive option for investors that want to contribute on a regular basis to their own investment portfolios. It eliminates the issue of http://www.investinganswers.com/node/940. Consequently, an investor returns will be determined more by the trend in a stock as opposed to the investor's specific entry price. Additionally, it assists investors reduce their http://www.investinganswers.com/node/1037 on securities which decline in value. Supply : http://www.investinganswers.com/fina...averaging-1310

    http://www.nasdaq.com/article/why-do...t-egy-cm354240



    So instead investing every month or weekly regular basis my spin is to dollar cost average on the best trading days of the month or month.


    My counsel:In my humble view since this is a long term investment egy , it is reasonable risk 50% or less of total capital whichever way you select to go with to make space for drawdowns.So for instance , If I was investing in method 1 or method 2 , it makes sense to have a residual balance of lets say $1000 in my account when I've spent $1000 using method 1 or method. Complete capital in this case =$2000... $1000 spent and staying balance $1000 in the account to make space for virtually any drawdowns.I hope you get the picture.


    I will post examples with screenshots for clarity going ahead. .

    It is no secret that Buffett is a proponent of indexing for the regular investor. But not everyone here has the access and funds for vanguards...

    I'd disagree with you according to my experience with the thinkorswim platform(TDAmeritrade). .What most traders dont know is the thinkorswim platform is a great and friendly platform for retail traders.In the TOS(tHINKorswim) platform you can buy stocks , index , Etfs etc in the smallest unit.You can buy 1 unit(quantity) of index , stocks , etfs etc.I think most traders aren't conscious of this.Thats the benefit of employing the TOS platform..Initially I didnt believe it that it had been possible to buy 1unit of almost every stock , etf , index you can think of before I had a live conversation with the customer care representative and they confirmed it.The TOS platform is great for retail traders with little capital.

    I agree. I enjoy the TOS platform better than other trading platforms on the market.

    According the research in the seasonal stock market trends I have attached to the first post on this thread , the first trading day of the month is among the very best trading days of the month.So I bought all of the minimal COST SP INDEX FUNDS and each of the SHORT TERM GOVERNMENT BONDS now since now is the first trading day of the month.

    I have attached a screenshot of all of the transactions that were opened in the thinkorswim platform for clarity.NB:I bought just 1 quantity all those minimal COST SP INDEX FUNDS and all of the SHORT TERM GOVERNMENT BONDS as noticed in th screenshot.

    As you can see from the Thinkorswim(TOS) platform in the screenshot buying all the LOW COST SP INDEX FUNDS and all of the SHORT TERM GOVERNMENT BONDS ONLY cost $755.91. As seen from the screenshot that the SHY order has not been filled yet so when it gets filled that'll bring the total cost of the cost to $755.91 $41.75= $797.66

    I will wait until the middle of the month to start the dollar cost averaging.Meaning , I will another 1 quantity all the all the minimal COST SP INDEX FUNDS and each of the SHORT TERM GOVERNMENT BONDS midst of the month. Why middle of the month?Because according to the research report from the seasonal stock market trends(pdf attached to my first article) , midst of the month is also among the very best trading days of the month.

    And my final dollar cost averaging will be executed on the last trading days of the month that is also among the very best trading days of the month depending on the research report from the pdf seasonal stock market trends.

    If there's something you dont understand or any questions that you would like to ask don't hesitate to do so.

    Hey man... Don't you believe averaging in 3 times every month is alittle too frequent? I mean bi-annually, at the most or quarterly is suggested by conventional wisdom monthly.

    And I really don't mean to be a contrarian but US equities does appear to be overheating, therefore it is not really ideal to buy-and-hold now.

    In any case, good luck!

    That is your opinion of the month's beginning. There's not anything in common with the end of the month or the middle. Stop fooling yourself.
