Warren Buffett's Best Investment Advice: Buy Index Funds

http://www.LifeStyleTrading101.com Warren Buffett is perhaps the most successful and celebrated investor of the 20th century and his results have only been getting better as he ages. ★☆★ VIEW THE BLOG POST: ★☆★ http://www.lifestyletrading101.com/wa... =========================== Of course, that’s largely due to his ability to pick stocks that outperform the market.
