More quotes by Warren Buffett
Too often, executive compensation in the U.S. is ridiculously out of line with performance. That won't change, moreover, because the deck is stacked against investors when it comes to the CEO's pay.
Warren Buffett
Investors have to remember: corporate profits are going up, but stocks are going up faster. How can that continue indefinitely? Investors can only earn what companies themselves can earn the government or the markets themselves don't kick anything in. How can you get anything more out of a farm than what it grows?
Warren Buffett
The woman that comes in, takes the wastebasket away, she's paying 15.3 or whatever it is on payroll tax alone. I mean it is - I never had it so good.
Warren Buffett
I mean, you can explain the fact that these are depressed prices, you know. We think these assets are going to be worth a lot more. And I think that case can be made in certain situations. But I think to just say, you know, we're going to say a dollar of cash is worth $2 all of a sudden, it isn't worth $2. It's worth a dollar today.
Warren Buffett
Focus on return on equity, not earnings per share.
Warren Buffett
Nevertheless, as circumstances presently appear, I feel substantially greater size is more likely to harm future results than to help them. This might not be true for my own personal results, but it is likely to be true for your results.
Warren Buffett
One’s objective should be to get it right, get it quick, get it out and get it over. Your problem won’t improve with age.
Warren Buffett
Rule No.1: Never lose money. Rule No.2: Never forget rule No.1.
Warren Buffett
Risk is a part of God's game, alike for men and nations.
Warren Buffett
The time to buy stocks is consistently over time. You should never buy your investments with the idea, 'I have to get a certain return.' You should look at the best return possible and learn to live with that. But you should not try to make your investments earn what you feel you need. It doesn't work that way. The stock doesn't know you own it.
Warren Buffett
Ignore the stock market, ignore the economy, and buy a business you understand.
Warren Buffett
I'm the luckiest guy in the world in terms of what I do for a living. No one can tell me to do things I don't believe in or things I think are stupid.
Warren Buffett
Cash never makes us happy, but it's better to have the money burning a hole in Berkshire's pocket than resting comfortably in someone else's.
Warren Buffett
There seems to be some perverse human characteristic that likes to make easy things difficult.
Warren Buffett
We simply attempt to be fearful when others are greedy and to be greedy only when others are fearful.
Warren Buffett
The gross profits in many workouts appear quite small. It's a little like looking for parking meters with some time left on them. However, the predictability coupled with a short holding period produces quite decent average annual rates of return after allowance for the occasional substantial loss.
Warren Buffett
When people talk about cash being king, it's not king if it just sits there and never does anything.
Warren Buffett
I always knew I was going to be rich. I don't think I ever doubted it for a minute.
Warren Buffett
As far as you are concerned, the stock market does not exist. Ignore it.
Warren Buffett
We've seen what can be accomplished when we use 50% of our human capacity. If you visualize what 100% can do, you'll join me as an unbridled optimist about America's future.
Warren Buffett
