When there is uncertainty in the markets, people listen to what Warren Buffett has to say.  And why shouldn’t they?  This is an investor that has consistently beaten the market for decades and has a billion dollar bank account to prove it.  Needless to say, after a couple of years in credit crisis mode, people want to know what the greatest investor forecasts for the year 2010.  People want to know his unique perspective on where the market is going and they are on the lookout for Buffett stock tips.

If you are an American, do not fear all that doom and gloom that America is on the decline.  According to Warren Buffett forecasts, America will be a richer country in 20 years than it is now.  There will be some short term financial issues but for the long term, things are looking good.  This is why if you have extra money in your bank account this is the time to invest.  The market is not overpriced.  However, take heed in what you buy.  You should only invest in a company that you have thoroughly researched and is trading at below its intrinsic value.  You should also be willing to sit on the stock for a long time because you are thoroughly convinced that it is a good investment.  You should ask yourself, as a business owner, are you comfortable with owning it for 20 years?  For instance, will Google still dominate the search scene or will something else come along?  What about Apple?  Will it still be the top of the mp3 player industry?  Do these businesses have enough of a moat around them to protect against competitors?  If the answer is no, then no matter how attractive the name, it does not fit within the formula of how to invest like Warren Buffett.

A disciplined investor in the recession is one that is careful with the purchases he makes but also one who has the foresight to pass on opportunities that do not fit his/her criteria.
