More quotes by Warren Buffett
It makes a difference who the treasury secretary is.
Warren Buffett
When a management with a reputation for brilliance tackles a business with a reputation for bad economics, it is the reputation of the business that remains intact.
Warren Buffett
Only those who will be sellers of equities in the near future should be happy at seeing stocks rise. Prospective purchasers should much prefer sinking prices.
Warren Buffett
It is madness to risk losing what you need in pursuing what you simply desire.
Warren Buffett
Forecasts usually tell us more of the forecaster than of the forecast
Warren Buffett
The power of unconditional love. I mean, there is no power on earth like unconditional love.
Warren Buffett
I have an 800 freephone number now that I call if I get the urge to buy an airline stock. I call at two in the morning and I say: My name is Warren and I'm an aeroholic. And then they talk me down.
Warren Buffett
In our view, derivatives are financial weapons of mass destruction carrying dangers that, while latent, are potentially lethal.
Warren Buffett
I just don't see anything available that gives any reasonable hope of delivering such a good year and I have no desire to grope around, hoping to 'get lucky' with other people's money. I am not attuned to this market environment, and I don't want to spoil a decent record by trying to play a game I don't understand just so I can go out a hero.
Warren Buffett
I am not in the business of predicting general stock market of business fluctuations. If you think I can do this, or think it is essential to an investment program, you should not be in the partnership.
Warren Buffett
Is management candid with the shareholders?
Warren Buffett
I spend twelve hours a week - a little over 10% of my waking hours - playing the game. Now I am trying to figure out how to get by on less sleep in order to fit in a few more hands.
Warren Buffett
I think you are out of your mind if you keep taking jobs that you don't like because you think it will look good on your resume. Isn't that a little like saving up sex for your old age?
Warren Buffett
A low-cost index fund is the most sensible equity investment for the great majority of investors. My mentor, Ben Graham, took this position many years ago, and everything I have seen since convinces me of its truth.
Warren Buffett
Take Wrigley's Chewing Gum. I don't think the Internet is going to change how people chew gum.
Warren Buffett
You can be sure that over the next 10 years, you'll see something that you did not think was possible.
Warren Buffett
So some guy may know how to make money in cocoa beans, but I don't so I just let him have that. But it's got to be something I understand. It's got to be a business with fundamentally good economics. It's got to be a management that I like and trust and admire. And it's got to be a price that makes sense.
Warren Buffett
If you invested in a very low cost index fund - where you don't put the money in at one time, but average in over 10 years -you'll do better than 90% of people who start investing at the same time.
Warren Buffett
If you owe money, you can't pay them out. You just pay for everything, you do smart things, you eventually get very rich.
Warren Buffett
Somebody's buying these treasury bills at 1/20th of one percent. Consuming about $2 billion a day of goods and services beyond what we're producing. In other words, the rest of the world sends about $2 billion a day net of something.We got to send them something in return, don't we. So we send them little pieces of paper.
Warren Buffett
