... the best way to own common stocks is through an index fund.
Warren Buffett
We're perfectly willing to trade away a big payoff for a certain payoff.
Warren Buffett
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
For some reason people take their cues from price action rather than from values. Price is what you pay. Value is what you get.
Warren Buffett
We've seen what can be accomplished when we use 50% of our human capacity. If you visualize what 100% can do, you'll join me as an unbridled optimist about America's future.
Warren Buffett
We have learned to turn out lots of goods and services, but we haven't learned as well how to have everybody share in the bounty. The obligation of a society as prosperous as ours is to figure out how nobody gets left too far behind.
Warren Buffett
Consciously paying more for a stock than its calculated value - in the hope that it can soon be sold for a still-higher price - should be labelled speculation
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 would rather sustain the penalties resulting from over-conservatism than face the consequences of error, perhaps with permanent capital loss, resulting from the adoption of New Era philosophy where trees really do grow to the sky.
Warren Buffett
If you can tell me who your heroes are, I can tell you how you're going to turn out in life.
Warren Buffett
When the president of the United States goes out at, you know, 8:00 o'clock in the morning and then his own party votes gets him 2 to 1 in the house, you know that somehow a message isn't getting out. It takes real leadership.
Warren Buffett
Other guys read Playboy. I read annual reports.
Warren Buffett
A Company should be viewed as an unfolding movie, not as a still photograph
Warren Buffett
If AIG had tried to unwind their derivatives books. I don't know. It would have hit every institution in the world.
Warren Buffett
I have worked with investors for 60 years and I have yet to see anyone - not even when capital gains rates were 39.9 percent in 1976-77 - shy away from a sensible investment because of the tax rate on the potential gain.
Warren Buffett
I look for businesses in which I think I can predict what they're going to look like in ten to fifteen years time. Take Wrigley's chewing gum. I don't think the internet is going to change how people chew gum.
Warren Buffett
The purpose of life is to be loved by as many people as possible among those you want to have love you
Warren Buffett
What we really want to do is buy businesses that we would be happy to own forever.
Warren Buffett
My favorite time frame for holding a stock is forever.
Warren Buffett
He must never forget Charlie's plea: Tell me where I'm going to die, so I'll never go there.
Warren Buffett
