This is because Buffett is born with investment talent and interest, professionalism and rich investment knowledge, and grew up in the United States, a healthy and stable capital market country.
First of all, Buffett has the talent and interest to invest.
Here is an interesting phenomenon. Anyone who has made great achievements in a certain market often starts to enter this industry at a young age.
Lang Lang became interested in the fingers of piano players at the age of 2, and played basic melodies on the piano without a teacher. Jet Li began to study martial arts in Shichahai School at the age of 8, and won the Excellence Award in China Wushu Competition at the age of 9.
Similarly, in the last century, American speculator Livermore, 14 years old, began to contact stocks. Buffett, known as the stock god, began to buy stocks at the age of 7. I dare say that there are only a handful of people in the world who can start buying stocks within 10, and Buffett is one of them. The so-called interest is the best teacher, and the earlier you invest in financial management, the better.
Buffett, not only contacted the stock very early, but also was very interested in it. More importantly, he is very talented in this field. The first time he bought stocks with his sister, it fell after buying them, and then it rose back to the cost and sold them. However, the stock rose even more later. At an early age, he began to study the truth.
Second, Buffett has professional and rich investment knowledge.
Although Buffett failed to enter the university he wanted to go to, he later entered the business school of Columbia University, studied under the famous investor Graham, and studied investment theory and knowledge systematically and scientifically in the university.
Stock investment is an industry with very low entry threshold, but the degree of competition is very high, and it is a high-risk and high-yield market. Then, most investors in the market want to make big money from it, without professional training and study, but they often end up losing money.
After Buffett graduated, he co-founded a fund company and later acquired other companies. Therefore, he has rich experience in investment and capital operation.
Third, Buffett grew up in a healthy and stable capital market in the United States.
In the early days, the American stock market was also full of fraud, insider trading, sitting in the village and other bad behaviors. However, in the process of development, the market gradually standardized through the continuous improvement of the system.
1933 enacted the American securities law 1933 to supervise insider trading and unfair phenomena in trading.
In 2002, Sarbanes-Oxley Act was promulgated to supervise financial fraud in securities fraudulent issuance and severely punish offenders.
Through a series of legal norms, the United States has gradually embarked on the principle of regulating health. At the same time, the American economy has maintained steady development, and the advantages of scientific and technological innovation are obvious. The emphasis on education has created a long-term bull market in the United States. For example, after the financial crisis in 2008, the bull market in the United States lasted for 10 years from 2009.
To sum up, Buffett and Buffett are born with investment talent and interest. They have long known the power of compound interest, and they have rich experience through professional investment and practice. In addition, he grew up in the United States, the capital market is healthy and stable, the country is relatively stable, the economy is full of vitality, and the market as a whole is in a bull market for a long time. Other ordinary people don't have such comprehensive advantages, either they lack professional knowledge and experience in stock investment, or the market is not perfect enough, resulting in most losses and fleeing from the stock market.
