Buffett Says

When Warren Buffett speaks, it would do investors well to heed his advice. In his annual letter to Berkshire Hathaway shareholders, he offers this advice: Be un-American.

By this he means that the way to great returns is to go against the trends while investing in index funds. If Wall Street is fearful, be greedy. If Wall Street is being gready, be fearful.

Buffett also warns against over-trading. Too much activity depletes returns. There’s more information on Warren Buffett’s advice at Yahoo Finance.
