More quotes by Warren Buffett
Turnarounds seldom turn.
Warren Buffett
The banking business is no favorite of ours. When assets are twenty times equity - a common ratio in this industry - mistakes that involve only a small portion of assets can destroy a major portion of equity. And mistakes have been the rule rather than the exception at many major banks.
Warren Buffett
The obligation of a society as prosperous as ours is to figure out how nobody gets left too far behind.
Warren Buffett
Never test the depth of river with both the feet.
Warren Buffett
How do you beat Bobby Fischer? You play him at any game but chess. I try to stay in games where I have an edge.
Warren Buffett
We believe that according the name 'investors' to institutions that trade actively is like calling someone who repeatedly engages in one-night stands a 'romantic.'
Warren Buffett
We don't get paid for being busy, we get paid for being right.
Warren Buffett
We have usually made our best purchases when apprehensions about some macro event were at a peak. Fear is the foe of the faddist, but the friend of the fundamentalist.
Warren Buffett
If you don't know the Jewelry, know the Jeweller
Warren Buffett
Focus on your customers and lead your people as though their lives depend on your success.
Warren Buffett
The greatest investment a young person can make is in their own education, in their own mind. Because money comes and goes. Relationships come and go. But what you learn once stays with you forever.
Warren Buffett
If the world couldn't see your results, would you rather be thought of as the world's greatest investor but in reality have the world's worst record? Or be thought of as the world's worst investor when you were actually the best?
Warren Buffett
Does the business have favourable long term prospects?
Warren Buffett
When we own portions of outstanding businesses with outstanding managements, our favorite holding period is forever.
Warren Buffett
The greater the potential for reward in the value portfolio, the less risk there is.
Warren Buffett
We always see shifts in employment. If you think about it, if you go back to 1800, it took 80 percent of the labor force to produce enough food for the country. Now it takes less than 3 percent. Well, the truth is that market systems move people around.
Warren Buffett
Risk comes from not knowing what you are doing so wide diversification is only required when investors are ignorant. You only have to do a very few things in your life so long as you don't do too many things wrong.
Warren Buffett
You can't produce a baby in one month by getting nine women pregnant.
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
It's very important that the determination of the US Congress to do what is is needed be made evident this week and by the actions of most of the members. I mean, you're not going to get total assent.
Warren Buffett
