More quotes by Warren Buffett
The smartest side to take in a bidding war is the losing side.
Warren Buffett
Our approach is very much profiting from lack of change rather than from change.
Warren Buffett
You don't need to be an expert in order to achieve satisfactory investment returns. But if you aren't, you must recognize your limitations and follow a course certain to work reasonably well. Keep things simple and don't swing for the fences.
Warren Buffett
You have to turn over a lot of rocks to find those little anomalies. You have to find the companies that are off the map - way off the map.
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
A newspaper that reduces its coverage of the news important to its community is certain to reduce its readership as well

Managers thinking about accounting issues should never forget one of Abraham Lincoln's favorite riddles: How many legs does a dog have, if you call a tail a leg? The answer: Four, because calling a tail a leg doesn't make it a leg.
Warren Buffett
You can't buy what is popular and do well.
Warren Buffett
It is not necessary to do extraordinary things to get extraordinary results.
Warren Buffett
If you gave me the choice of being CEO of General Electric or IBM or General Motors, you name it, or delivering papers, I would deliver papers. I would. I enjoyed doing that. I can think about what I want to think. I don't have to do anything I don't want to do.
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
Read 500 pages every day. That's how knowledge works. It builds up like compound interest.
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.
