the Conference. Courtney Koonce
participated in the Regional Officer
election presenting a speech on the
theme for the conference.

a bargain price in the 1970s when
investors thought it had lost its appeal.
If this sounds like a lot of work and
research, it is. Buffett takes a long time
to buy part of a company, but when he
does, he buys a lot, and he buys for the
long term.
Buffett invests in remarkably few
companies for a billionaire investor. He
is secure enough in his selections (and
strong enough in assets) that he's will-
ing to take major positions with the
plan of owning his investments for
years, if not a lifetime.
Buffett also likes companies that
pay few dividends, because receiving
dividends means paying taxes. Buffett
prefers companies that use profits for
growth rather than dividends. This tax
philosophy is said to have contributed
to about 40 percent of Buffett's amaz-
ing returns. His Berkshire Hathaway
has compounded at about 23 percent
annually. Had it paid dividends instead
of reinvesting for capital growth, the
return would have been less than 16
percent.
Buffetiology might fly with a bil-
lionaire. but most investors require
more diversification along with a few
dividends. However, his ideas on what
makes a good stock investment can be
helpful to everyone. "Buffettology”
makes interesting reading that might
even provide a few pointers along the way.

Attention, all Warren Buffett fans:
You can read about this financial
guru's investing strategies in the book,
“Buffettology: The Previously Unexplained
Techniques That Have Made Warren
Buffett the World’s Most Famous
Investor.” Written by Mary Buffett and
David Clark, the book contains interesting
and insightful information.
Buffett’s investing philosophy cor-
responds with that of Benjamin
Graham. Graham’s financial text, “The
Intelligent Investor,” is probably the
best investing logic between two cov-
ers. Buffett has used Graham’s philoso-
phies to achieve remarkable success.
Here’s what Buffett looks for before
he buys:
1. Industry leaders that market essential
products. He likes companies with
almost a monopoly on consumer loyalty.
2. Strong companies that consistently
beat the stock market's long-term
annual return of 10 percent.
3. Aggressive companies that seek new
opportunities and use earnings to
expand.
4. Sound companies that are conserva-
tively financed.
5. Consistent companies with histories
of steadily increasing earnings.
6. Value companies selling at discounted
prices because the general public
thinks their best days are over. For
example. Buffett bought Coca-Cola at
