Source text - English Stock Prices Are More Noise Than Information
The majority of the time, daily stock prices are simply random noise movements. Warren Buffett has said that he invests as if stock markets would be closed for years. The truth is, most investors — and their portfolios — would be a lot better off if stock markets were closed throughout the year.
Imagine if the stock market were open only once during the year. Every year on one day, investors would have the chance to buy and sell any investments they wanted. Then they would have to wait until the next year to do the same. What do you think would happen? For one thing, many people would probably cease to participate. Those are the individuals who participate in the market for more speculative reasons.
If you were looking to buy a small business, I doubt that you would buy it with the intention to sell it in a few months unless you were offered a most attractive offer. At the same time, it ’ s doubtful you would sell it at the first hint of bad news. Stock investing should be handled the same way. If you invest and the market decides to reward you immediately, you can choose to sell a short - term investment if you feel the price reflects the company value. Conversely, don’t jump to sell because you see a decline in the stock price without first determining if the business has been permanently impaired.
Translation - Indonesian Harga Saham Tak Lebih Dari Sekedar Keriuhan, Bukan Informasi
Hampir setiap saat, harga saham harian hanyalah suara riuh tidak karuan. Warren Buffett pernah berkata bahwa dia berinvestasi seolah-olah bursa saham akan ditutup selama bertahun-tahun. Kenyataannya, bagi kebanyakan investor — dan portofolio mereka —akan jauh lebih baik apabila pasar saham ditutup sepanjang tahun.
Bayangkan jika pasar saham dibuka hanya setahun sekali. Setiap tahun pada hari tersebut, investor bakal memiliki kesempatan untuk membeli dan menjual saham apapun sesuka hati mereka. Lalu mereka harus menunggu sampai tahun depan untuk melakukan hal yang sama. Menurut Anda, apa yang akan terjadi? Untuk satu hal, kebanyakan orang mungkin akan berhenti ikut serta. Mereka adalah orang-orang yang masuk ke pasar saham atas dasar alasan spekulatif.
Apabila Anda berencana membeli sebuah bisnis kecil, saya tidak yakin kalau Anda akan membelinya dengan maksud untuk menjualnya kembali dalam waktu beberapa bulan ke depan kecuali Anda mendapat penawaran pada harga yang sangat menarik. Pada waktu yang sama, saya juga tidak yakin kalau Anda akan menjualnya seketika saat ada indikasi awal kabar buruk. Berinvestasi di saham seharusnya dilakukan dengan cara yang serupa. Apabila Anda berinvestasi dan pasar memberi Anda keuntungan dalam waktu singkat, Anda boleh memilih untuk menjual saham Anda jika Anda merasa harganya memang mencerminkan nilai perusahaan. Sebaliknya, jangan pernah langsung menjual karena Anda melihat harganya sedang turun tanpa mencari tahu apakah memang perusahaannya telah memburuk secara permanen.
