What is Buffettucation?
Buffettucation is educating oneself through the wisdom of Warren Buffett. I consider myself to be an avid student and I believe that he has a lot to teach us; not only in investing strategies, but he also has great advice on how one should live one's life. I was truly amazed and have learned to respect him a great deal the more I learn from him. He is truly a great businessman, a great investor and philanthropist and a terrific person.

What is the purpose of this blog?
This blog is to educate ourselves in the philosophies of investing, philanthropy and life through videos of Warren Buffett. We will focus on the many available video lectures online and analyze each video in a collaborative manner through the community of readers and fans of his common sense and simplistic methods. The direction the blog takes, all depends on the community and I am excited to see what it evolves into. I know there are many students of Warren Buffett out there and my goal is to learn as much as I can and share my own insights and analysis of his various lectures and talks.

My personal belief is to make investing as simple as possible. This has brought me to follow the philosophy of Warren Buffett, who breaks investing down to a simple process.

How should we invest?
1. Invest in great businesses that you understand. (Circle of Competence)
2. Look for businesses with a strong competitive advantage. (Wide Moat)
3. Look for businesses that are highly profitable and has great future economics. (Generates a lot of free cash)
4. Look for businesses with excellent management. (Managers with integrity)
5. Buy good businesses at a good price. (Buy great businesses at reasonable discounts to their intrinsic value)

These are the main principles he focuses on and that I try to learn from.
Examples would include Coca-Cola, Procter and Gamble and American Express; three of the largest holdings in his portfolio of companies. It seems to be really obvious how these companies fit that profile.
