Buffett’s Three Rules for Average Investors

Warren Buffett’s always been one to keep things simple. And in a recent interview with ABC, he laid out three broad rules that individual investors should follow if they want to grow their money and keep it safe:

1. If it seems too good to be true, it probably is.
2. Always look at how much the other guy is making when he is trying to sell you something.
3. Stay away from leverage.

Buffett also talks about how one of his favorite pastimes — bridge — offers some lessons that can be applied to investing, and gives his take on increasing tax rates for the wealthy.
