Buffettûs investmentphilosophy comprises applying economic information, not accounting information; takinginto account the opportunity cost; focusing on the time value of money, wealth creation and the alignment of agency problems; and investing on the basis of information andanalysis. Similar to the principle and theory of finance, Buffett employs the concepts ofeconomic value added (EVA), capital budgeting, intrinsic value, and corporate governance.Dissimilar to the principle and theory of finance, Buffett uses a risk-free discount rate toevaluate cash flows and disagrees with the efficient capital market hypothesis (EMH).
