Why circle of competence is important for investors?
You know that successful investing is a combination of art and science. It is an art that requires skill to find a good business within your circle of competence and assess management creditability and integrity. It is also a science that calculates the fundamentals so you know how to value the company.
Lets we try to explain what is a circle of competence and its importance in stock investing?
For example, if you love video games and know a lot about different gaming companies, it makes sense to invest in those companies because you have knowledge and expertise in that area. But if you don't know much about, let's say, the fashion industry, it might not be a good idea to invest in fashion companies because you wouldn't fully understand how they work.
Help to take a smart decision
The Circle of Competence helps us make smart investment decisions. By focusing on what we know well, we can make more informed choices about which stocks to buy. It's like driving your favorite bikes and having a blast because you know exactly how to have fun with them.
Help to avoid High Risk
Remember there is always risk in investing that's why always keep in mind that investing within his circle of competence. If you invest in your circle of competence you are likely to avoid highly risky investments.
Always consider his practice of investing only in his circle of competence. In the stock market game, this means staying within your circle of competence. It can be a company that falls within your circle of competence.
Warren Buffett said “You don’t have to be an expert on every company or even many. You only have to be able to evaluate companies within your circle of competence. The size of that circle is not very important; knowing its boundaries, however, is vital.”
Invest in a company that is in line with a business that you understand or is inside your circle of competence. The key thing is that value-growth investors should not stay too far outside their circle of competence.
WarrenBuffett never invests in businesses he cannot understand or that are outside his “Circle of Competence.”
All investors can over time, obtain and intensify their “Circle of Competence” in an industry where they are professionally involved or in some sector of business they enjoy researching.
Remember, my investor friend, the key is to stick to what you know and understand when investing in stocks. That way, you're more likely to make wise decisions and have a successful time in the stock market. Happy investing!
