The Buffett Long-Term Investing Solution
This site is dedicated to providing you with the information you need to implement Warren Buffett’s recommended investing solution.
Warren Buffett is known as the Oracle of Omaha. Are you getting your investment advice from an Oracle?
The most valuable investing advice available — the advice Wall Street doesn’t want you to see, because you can outperform the professionals, the suits, without paying Wall Street’s fees.
This site presents Warren Buffett’s long-term investing solution, including:
· What the solution is
· The philosophy behind it
· Why it works
· Why it was developed
· The evidence showing it works better than nearly everything else
· Why it is likely to continue working in the future
· Why this same long-term investing strategy has now been adopted by the U.S. government as the foundation for funded investment accounts for every newborn American (“Trump Accounts”)
It also includes insights and endorsements from investing legends who independently reached the same conclusion Buffett did.

Warren Buffett’s Investment Advice (Presented largely in his own words)
· When he purchased his first stock during World War II, the best thing he — or anyone — could have done was to buy the S&P 500 index fund.
· $10,000 invested in an S&P index fund at that time would have been worth a staggering $52 million in 2018 — and would be worth over $100 million today.
· Think of investing in the S&P index as buying and holding a piece of American business.
· One investment decision for your lifetime: You would never have to look at another stock quote or listen to another person give you advice.
· All you had to do was believe that America would do well over time. If America did well, American business would do well.
· If you listened to the doomsayers and invested in gold, you would have about 1% of what you would have had investing in a productive asset like the S&P.
· We have operated in this country with the greatest tailwind at our back that you can imagine. It’s an investor’s heaven.
· You can’t really fail unless you buy the wrong stock or get excited at the wrong time.
· Owning a cross-section of America and consistently investing over the years beats owning unproductive assets, market timing, or paying investment advisors.
· The truth is, you would have been better off doing this than a very high percentage of investment professionals.
· It’s very hard to move around successfully and beat what can be done with a very relaxed philosophy.
· You don’t need to know about accounting, stock market terminology, or what the Federal Reserve is going to do next. None of that counts in a lifetime of investing.
· What counts is having a philosophy you understand — and sticking with it.

After watching Warren Buffett—arguably the greatest stock picker in history—deliver an investing lesson, I asked a simple question: Why would he recommend a low-cost S&P 500 index fund for just about everyone?
