5 Timeless Investing Lessons From Warren Buffett
3. Emotions are an investor’s biggest enemy
Buffett has always separated analysis from emotion. He famously said that investors should be “fearful when others are greedy, and greedy when others are fearful.” This contrarian mindset has guided him through every market cycle.
He never chased rallies or panicked in downturns. During the global financial crisis, when others were paralysed by fear, Buffett invested billions in blue-chip firms on terms that later proved extremely profitable. His calm wasn’t luck; it was discipline.
Fear and greed drive most investors to make poor decisions. Selling when markets fall and buying when they rise feels instinctive but undermines performance. Buffett’s success rests on the opposite instinct: to trust analysis, not emotion.
