More quotes by 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
I really like my life. I've arranged my life so that I can do what I want.
Warren Buffett
It's good to learn from your mistakes. It's better to learn from other people's mistakes.
Warren Buffett
Earnings can be pliable as putty when a charlatan heads the company reporting them.
Warren Buffett
I happen to have a talent for allocating capital. But my ability to use that talent is completely dependent on the society I was born into. If I'd been born into a tribe of hunters, this talent of mine would be pretty worthless. I can't run very fast. I'm not particularly strong. I'd probably end up as some wild animal's dinner.
Warren Buffett
First come the innovators, then come the imitators, then come the idiots.
Warren Buffett
What's hot today isn't likely to be hot tomorrow. The stock market reverts to fundamental returns over the long run. Don't follow the herd.
Warren Buffett
I have three boxes on my desk: In, Out, and Too Hard.
Warren Buffett
Investing is the greatest business in the world because you never have to swing. You stand at the plate the pitcher throws you General Motors at 47! U.S. Steel at 39! And nobody calls a strike on you. There's no penalty except opportunity. All day you wait for the pitch you like then, when the fielders are asleep, you step up and hit it.
Warren Buffett
I don't read economic forecasts. I don't read the funny papers.
Warren Buffett
When investing, pessimism is your friend, euphoria the enemy.
Warren Buffett
It isn't given to man to be able to run a financial institution where different interest-rate scenarios will prevail on all of that so as to produce kind of smooth, regular earnings from a very large base to start with.
Warren Buffett
In fact, in my adult lifetime, I don't think I've ever seen people as fearful economically as they are right now.
Warren Buffett
The great personal fortunes in the country weren't built on a portfolio of fifty companies. They were built by someone who identified one wonderful business. With each investment you make, you should have the courage and the conviction to place at least 10% of your net worth in that stock.
Warren Buffett
Stop trying to predict the direction of the stock market, the economy or elections.
Warren Buffett
I'll take the deal, whatever you want to do.
Warren Buffett
The (stock) market is there only as a reference point to see if anybody is offering to do anything foolish. When we invest in stocks, we invest in businesses.
Warren Buffett
Traditional wisdom is long on tradition and short on wisdom.
Warren Buffett
It makes a difference who the treasury secretary is.
Warren Buffett
We also believe candour benefits us as managers. The CEO who misleads often in public eventually misleads himself in private.
