Red signs are not what investors would wanna see.
But there is one thing that is bigger than the trend, bigger than the volatility of the market...and according to Warren Buffett, it's the business.

| Warren Buffett in an interview with CNN |
The man known as America's greatest investor isn't bothered by stock market volatility.
"I have no idea what the stock market's going to do tomorrow or next week or next month or next year," said Berkshire Hathaway Chairman and CEO Warren Buffett.
"If you own your stocks as an investment—just like you'd own an apartment, house or a farm—look at them as a business," Buffett advised. "If you're going to try to buy and sell them based on news or something your neighbor tells you, you're not going to do well. Find a good bunch of businesses and hold them."
"You will not make money trying to sell stocks daily or weekly," Buffett said.
So, if you are holding a stock that you know the business is good and that the prospect moving forward is great, why fear the volatility?
