More quotes by 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
Investing is not as tough as being a top-notch bridge player. All it takes is the ability to see things as they really are.
Warren Buffett
An investor should ordinarily hold a small piece of an outstanding business with the same tenacity that an owner would exhibit if he owned all of that business.
Warren Buffett
A diamond cannot be polished without friction, nor a person perfected without trials. Someone is enjoying shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago.
Warren Buffett
Trust is like the air we breathe--when it's present, nobody really notices when it's absent, everybody notices.
Warren Buffett
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure understated.
Warren Buffett
I never invest in anything that I don't understand.
Warren Buffett
Too often, a vast collection of possessions ends up possessing its owner. The asset I most value, aside from health, is interesting, diverse, and long-standing friends.
Warren Buffett
You have no ability, if you're a financial institution and you're threatened with criminal prosecution, you have no ability to negotiate.
Warren Buffett
For some reason, people take their cues from price action rather than from values. What doesn't work is when you start doing things that you don't understand or because they worked last week for somebody else. The dumbest reason in the world to buy a stock is because it's going up.
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
Most people get interested in stocks when everyone else is. The time to get interested is when no one else is. You can't buy what is popular and do well.
Warren Buffett
I want to be able to explain my mistakes. This means I do only the things I completely understand.
Warren Buffett
An irresistable footnote: in 1971, pension fund managers invested a record 122% of net funds available in equities - at full prices they couldn't buy enough of them. In 1974, after the bottom had fallen out, they committed a then record low of 21% to stocks.
Warren Buffett
You should invest like a Catholic marries: for life.
Warren Buffett
In an inflationary world, a toll bridge (like company) would be a great thing to own because you've laid out the capital costs. You built it in old dollars and you don't have to keep replacing it.
Warren Buffett
Money will not change how healthy you are or how many people love you.
Warren Buffett
It's not debt per say that overwhelms an individual corporation or country. Rather it is a continuous increase in debt in relation to income that causes trouble.
Warren Buffett
Never ask a barber if you need a haircut.
Warren Buffett
To be successful, you should concentrate on the world of companies, not arcane accounting mathematics.
