Warren Buffett's 2 investment rules

Someone once asked Warren Buffett, "What are the most important investment rules?"

His answer was very short.

Rule 1: Don't lose.

Rule 2: Don't forget Rule 1.

After years of working in finance, I understood

The word "don't lose" doesn't just mean investing.

But it is, don't let unexpected events ruin what you've created your whole life.

Before thinking about what to invest

Try asking yourself first...

✔ understand what it takes to put the money down?

✔ have emergency reserves?

✔ If you stop working for six months today, can you still live?

✔ If there's an illness or an accident, will your finances handle it?

Because creating wealth is not just about making a lot of money grow.

But it is to keep what you have from going away unnecessarily.

Let's exchange what is the most painful loss in your life?

... Read moreจากประสบการณ์ส่วนตัวในการลงทุน สิ่งที่ผมได้เรียนรู้และเห็นด้วยอย่างยิ่งกับกฎ 2 ข้อของ Warren Buffett คือการให้ความสำคัญกับการรักษาเงินต้นก่อนที่จะมุ่งหวังกำไรสูงๆ กฎข้อ 1 ที่ว่า "อย่าขาดทุน" ไม่ได้หมายความแค่การไม่ลงทุนในหุ้นที่เสี่ยงสูงเพียงอย่างเดียว แต่มันหมายถึงการมีการวางแผนการเงินที่มั่นคง ทั้งการเก็บเงินสำรองฉุกเฉิน เพื่อลดผลกระทบจากเหตุการณ์ไม่คาดฝัน เช่น การเจ็บป่วยหรือตกงาน ผมเองเคยประสบปัญหาการขาดสภาพคล่องเมื่อเจอสถานการณ์ไม่คาดคิด ซึ่งหากไม่มีเงินสำรองที่เพียงพอ อาจทำให้ต้องขายสินทรัพย์ลงทุนในราคาต่ำ จนเกิดการขาดทุนอย่างแท้จริง กฎข้อ 2 คือ "อย่าลืมกฎข้อ 1" ซึ่งสะท้อนถึงความสำคัญของการมีวินัยในการลงทุนและการบริหารความเสี่ยง ไม่ควรหลงใหลไปกับโอกาสที่ดูดีแต่อย่ามองข้ามความเสี่ยงที่อาจติดตามมา นอกจากนี้ หลักการของ Buffett ยังเน้นเรื่องการลงทุนในกิจการที่มีพื้นฐานดี มีกำไรชัดเจนและมีโอกาสเติบโตในระยะยาว พร้อมกับการซื้อหุ้นเมื่อราคาต่ำกว่ามูลค่าที่แท้จริง ซึ่งช่วยให้ลดโอกาสขาดทุนและเพิ่มโอกาสทำกำไรอย่างมั่นคง สุดท้าย การลงทุนที่ดีไม่ได้หมายถึงการทำกำไรเร็วหรือเยอะที่สุดเท่านั้น แต่คือการรักษาสิ่งที่คุณมีและทำให้มันเติบโตอย่างยั่งยืนตามความสามารถของตัวเอง พร้อมวางแผนรับมือกับเหตุการณ์ไม่คาดฝันอย่างรอบคอบ
