The Indian stock markets have had a ‘relief rally’ over the past few days. With the Sensex recovering almost 700 points over the past four trading sessions, investors are starting to believe in the ‘end of crisis’ theories floating around.

1. Right approach
2. Right person

This article was written by the world’s most successful investor ever, Warren Buffett, promoting the concept of value investing.

In a few years from now, my kids will ask me what it was like to be alive when Steve Jobs was the world’s best innovator and businessman.

They will ask me: “Jobs was the best person in business when you were young. What was he like? What did you learn from him?”

What will my answer be?

You see, it is human nature to overlook the importance of those who are here and now. Those who are great and live among us seem more normal because they’re breathing the same air that we are.

But we realize the greatness of such people only when they are gone.

2011 definitely seems a year of uprisings and protests against the corrupt.

What started in the Middle East (protests against the autocratic governments), spread to India (protest against the corrupt government). Now, similar protests are seen in the (disputed) financial capital of the world, New York.

Thousands have gathered there to protest against the corrupt financial companies of Wall Street. This protest started on 17th September, and has been termed as ‘Occupy Wall Street’.

But why are people occupying Wall Street?

Warren Buffett has been a great teacher to me in my career as a stock market analyst and investor. He is super generous, and is one of the greatest teachers you could ever find.

Not only are his teachings relevant to the way we invest, they also tell us a lot about how we must live our lives.

Anyways, here are five more quotes from Warren Buffett that you must read and always remember while investing in stock markets.

1. Rule No.1: Never lose money. Rule No.2: Never forget rule No.1.
‘Never lose money’ is probably the simplest and the most important rule that you must follow while investing in stock markets.

Most of us investors are always in search of that temporary rise in stock prices that will make us profits so that we can cash out. But the only rule that investors must follow, as Buffett says, is to ‘never lose money’ in stocks.

But how do you do that? How do you ‘never’ lose money in stock markets that rise and fall each day, without you having control on it?
