More quotes by Warren Buffett
You don't have to be a genius to invest well
Warren Buffett
If you've got a good enough business, if you have a monopoly newspaper, if you have a network television station - I'm talking of the past - you know, your idiot nephew could run it. And if you've got a really good business, it doesn't make any difference.
Warren Buffett
Risk comes from not knowing what you're doing.
Warren Buffett
When a management with reputation for brilliance gets hooked up with a business with a reputation for bad economics, it's the reputation of the business that remains intact.
Warren Buffett
It's class warfare, my class is winning, but they shouldn't be.
Warren Buffett
I try to buy stock in businesses that are so wonderful that an idiot can run them. Because sooner or later, one will.
Warren Buffett
I was lucky to have the right heroes. Tell me who your heroes are and I'll tell you how you'll turn out to be. The qualities of the one you admire are the traits that you, with a little practice, can make your own, and that, if practiced, will become habit forming.
Warren Buffett
Lethargy, bordering on sloth should remain the cornerstone of an investment style.
Warren Buffett
I mean, Hank Paulson is in there [ Treasury] at the wrong time, probably shouldn't have taken the job. He's a friend of mine. But he knows markets, he knows corporations' work, he knows money, and he's got the interests of the country at heart.
Warren Buffett
Resolution Trust Company was set up to liquidate a bunch of assets that the government had inherited because the savings and loans went broke.
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
Look at market fluctuations as your friend rather than your enemy profit from folly rather than participate in it.
Warren Buffett
You do not adequately protect yourself by being half awake when other are sleeping.
Warren Buffett
By periodically investing in an index fund, the know-nothing investors can actually outperform most investment professionals.
Warren Buffett
Lethargy bordering on sloth remains the cornerstone of our investment style. The exception was Wells Fargo, a superbly-managed, high-return banking operation in which we increased our ownership to just under 10%, the most we can own without the approval of the Federal Reserve Board.
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
I am a huge bull on this country. We will not have a double-dip recession at all. I see our businesses coming back almost across the board.
Warren Buffett
Don't pass up something that's attractive today because you think you will find something way more attractive tomorrow.
Warren Buffett
No matter how great the talent or efforts, some things just take time.
Warren Buffett
If you lose money for the firm, I will be forgiving. If you lose reputation, I will be ruthless.
Warren Buffett
