Financial advisers and insurance agents are also poised to churn client accounts.

Buffett's secret strategy

Article Abstract:

Warren Buffet attributes two conflicting investment philosophies in his approach to investing. Buffet does not consider the day to day operations of the stock market and does not analyze the economy. Instead Buffet invests in the business themselves and looks at the company's return on equity, not earnings per share. Buffet's strategies and methodologies are outlined and applied to the Australian market.
