What would Warren do? Now there’s a question. Safe guess, it’s not what most people would do.
Tomorrow (i.e. Saturday), the most anticipated annual letter is published. You can find it here.
Why Saturday? Because of what Warren doesn’t do. It prevents shareholders from making rash decisions without thinking through the annual results. Investors are forced to reflect all weekend before they act on Monday.
It’s a three-day rule (no not that 3-day rule).
And every investor should adopt it. Anyone who disagrees should try it anyways.
I bet you end up with better decisions that lead to better results…all because you waited three days before following through on a decision…which happens to be about the same time the market needs to cool off from its overreaction to big news.
