Warren Buffett Tells You How to Turn $40 Into $10 Million
Warren Buffett is perhaps the greatest investor of all time, and he
has a simple solution that could help an individual turn $40 into $10
million.
A few years ago, Berkshire Hathaway CEO and Chairman Warren Buffett spoke about one of his favorite companies, Coca-Cola, and how after dividends, stock splits, and patient reinvestment, someone who bought just $40 worth of the company's stock when it went public in 1919 would now have more than $5 million.
Yet in April 2012, when the board of directors proposed a stock split
of the beloved soft-drink manufacturer, that figure was updated and the
company noted that original $40 would now be worth $9.8 million. A
little back-of-the-envelope math of the total return of Coke since May
2012 would mean that $9.8 million is now worth about $10.8 million.
The power of patienceI know that $40 in 1919 is very different from $40 today. However, even after factoring for inflation, it turns out to be $540 in today's money. Put differently, would you rather have an Xbox One, or almost $11 million?
But the thing is, it isn't even as though an investment in Coca-Cola was a no-brainer at that point, or in the near century since then. Sugar prices were rising. World War I had just ended a year prior. The Great Depression happened a few years later. World War II resulted in sugar rationing. And there have been countless other things over the past 100 years that would cause someone to question whether their money should be in stocks, much less one of a consumer-goods company like Coca-Cola.
The dangers of timing
Yet as Buffett has noted continually, it's terribly dangerous to attempt to time the market:
This type of technical analysis of watching stock movements and buying based on how the prices fluctuate over 200-day moving averages or other seemingly arbitrary fluctuations often receives a lot of media attention, but it has been proved to simply be no better than random chance.
Investing for the long termIndividuals need to see that investing is not like placing a wager on the 49ers to cover the spread against the Cowboys, but instead it's buying a tangible piece of a business.
It is absolutely important to understand the relative price you are paying for that business, but what isn't important is attempting to understand whether you're buying in at the "right time," as that is so often just an arbitrary imagination.
In Buffett's own words, "if you're right about the business, you'll make a lot of money," so don't bother about attempting to buy stocks based on how their stock charts have looked over the past 200 days. Instead always remember that "it's far better to buy a wonderful company at a fair price."

"With a wonderful business, you can figure out what will happen; you can't figure out when it will happen. You don't want to focus on when, you want to focus on what. If you're right about what, you don't have to worry about when"So often investors are told they must attempt to time the market, and begin investing when the market is on the rise, and sell when the market is falling.

You can't afford to miss this
Fortunes, like Buffett's, were made by early investors when internet technology changed our lives forever. Now there's a new technological revolution that threatens to make intellectual property obsolete -- and shake up the entire global economy. Investors once again have the opportunity to get rich by getting in early, and you can be one of them.

It's time to say "goodbye" to your Internet!
One bleeding-edge technology is about to put the World-Wide-Web to bed. And if you act right away, it could make you wildly rich. Experts are calling it the single largest business opportunity in the history of capitalism... The Economist is calling it "transformative"... But you may just call it "how I made my millions."
