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?

If He-Man is the master of the universe, Warren Buffett is the He-Man of the investing world.

The only student to get an ‘A’ from his teacher and the father of value investing Ben Graham, Buffett is the most followed and revered investor the world has ever seen. And we are fortunate to have him living in our times.

Often called the ‘Oracle of Omaha’ (Omaha is where Buffett lives in the US), Buffett is the chairman of Berkshire Hathaway, his investment company that was once an ailing textile manufacturer when he took it over.

Buffett’s investment philosophy has been a mixture of Graham and Philip Fisher (another legendary investor), plus his own ideas that he has developed over his investing career.

His principles have worked wonders for him for the past many decades. And he believes that they will still be the cornerstones of investing a hundred years from now as well.

The last week has been pretty hectic for me, especially given the numerous telephone calls I’ve received from friends and relatives asking me whether now is the right time to invest in stock markets.

“You see, the Sensex has fallen by almost 25% since its highs in November 2010, and stocks look cheap,” argued a cousin.

Most investors I encounter during such periods of market volatility ask me this very question.

Even you might have this very question at the top of your mind now – “Is it the right time to invest in stock markets?”

If yes, here is a study I’ve done that will answer your question (whether it is the ‘right’ time to invest in stocks), and hopefully to the best of your satisfaction.
