Conviction - Examples

Real-World Examples

Buffett bought Coca-Cola in 1988 despite:

  • "Too expensive" by conventional metrics
  • "The soft drink market is mature"
  • "Everyone knows it"

His conviction came from:

  • Understanding brand power
  • Seeing international expansion opportunity
  • margin-of-safety from intrinsic value analysis

Coca-Cola became one of his greatest investments.
