You do things when the opportunities come along. I've had periods in my life when I've had a bundle of ideas come along, and I've had long dry spells. If I get an idea next week, I'll do something. If not, I won't do a damn thing.

More quotes by Warren Buffett
The only way to be loved is to be loveable, which really irritates me.
Warren Buffett
Our goal is to find an outstanding business at a sensible price, not a mediocre business at a bargain price.
Warren Buffett
I read annual reports of the company I'm looking at and I read the annual reports of the competitors - that is the main source of material.
Warren Buffett
Investors making purchases in an overheated market need to recognize that it may often take an extended period for the value of even an outstanding company to catch up with the price they paid.
Warren Buffett
We've got more productive capacity now than we ever have.
Warren Buffett
I try to buy stock in businesses that are so wonderful that an idiot can run them. Because sooner or later, one will.
Warren Buffett
Outstanding long-term results are produced primarily by avoiding dumb decisions, rather than by making brilliant ones.
Warren Buffett
The best education you can get is investing in yourself, and that doesn't mean college or university.
Warren Buffett
We intend to continue our practice of working only with people whom we like and admire. This policy not only maximizes our chances for good results, it also ensures us an extraordinarily good time.
Warren Buffett
I bought a company in the mid-90s called Dexter Shoe and paid $400 million for it. And it went to zero. And I gave about $400 million worth of Berkshire stock, which is probably now worth $400 billion. But I've made lots of dumb decisions. That's part of the game.
Warren Buffett
Enjoy your work and work for whom you admire.
Warren Buffett
To invest successfully over a lifetime does not require a stratospheric IQ, unusual business insights, or inside information. What's needed is a sound intellectual framework for making decisions and the ability to keep emotions from corroding that framework. You must supply the emotional discipline.
Warren Buffett
People do, as long as you have markets, you'll have excesses.
Warren Buffett
The truth is that I've got all my net worth safely in Berkshire and I will never sell a share so there is no one more concerned about what happens after my death than I am.
Warren Buffett
If the reason for doing something is that everyone else is doing it, it's not a good enough reason.
Warren Buffett
For some reason, people take their cues from price action rather than from values. What doesn't work is when you start doing things that you don't understand or because they worked last week for somebody else. The dumbest reason in the world to buy a stock is because it's going up.
Warren Buffett
A pin lies in wait for every bubble. And when the two eventually meet, a new wave of investors learns some very old lessons: First, many in Wall Street (a community in which quality control is not prized) will sell investors anything they will buy. Second, speculation is most dangerous when it looks easiest.
Warren Buffett
The single most important decision in evaluating a business is pricing power.
Warren Buffett
All I have to do is think and not be influenced by others.
Warren Buffett
It's never paid to bet against America. We come through things, but its not always a smooth ride.
Warren Buffett
