Regarding when to sell:
Warren says that you're supposed to buy stocks like a "Catholic marries - forever!". When you think of it like that, he argues, you start looking for quality and value. Companies so good that not even an idiot can ruin it - especially since eventually, an idiot WILL run it.

@TheAquaManH2o neither can I. :(

This is a great video. I must have watched it several dozen times. I've followed Alan's advice and so far all six companies I have bought on the ASX are doing well. What I really need to know is when I should be selling and what ratio I should be looking for.

@Im4theFuture Good luck with that...

hey, do you read annual stock reports?, if so, which one? thanks :D

Don't you subtract the dividends from the net earnings?
-
is that dividend yeild or just standard dividend??
i dont know much about all this, but i would like to understand a few things.. say warren buffet wants to buy shares in conoco phillips, when he plugs in all the numbers, and as seen in the video, he ends up with this figure of 14.4, what would be his next step? would he simply just buy how ever many shares he wants? and also, when would he sell the shares? when he feels he has made enough profit? some explain please :)

Warren learned from Benjamin Graham in a study of 100 years of the stock market that every 5.3 years on the average the stop market has a major crash of 40% or more and every 2 years on the average a correction of about 20%. It is during these panic times that Warren buys. Warren bought 20 billion of stock in January 2009 because the market had overcorrected to the downside making good companies a steal.

How do you find the "Net Earnings" of a company/stock? i can never find it...

@TheAquaManH2o
I get the key ratios by typing in the ticker symbol at clearstation and then selecting "Key Ratios". The Key ratios come up and if you click on one of the titles, an online explanation will come up. I use "Profit Margin (TTM)" for the percent net profit. The "Dividend Yield" I use for the percent dividend. The "Price/Book (MRQ)" I use for the price-to-book.

Warren says that the best holding period is "Forever" but I like to study the Weekly and Monthly MACD for sell signals. Warren picks low tech companies because he says that he cannot understand tech companies and that his best friend Bill Gates that knows a thing or two about tech companies cannot pick them either.
