More quotes by Warren Buffett
Confidence in markets and in institutions, it's a lot like oxygen. When you have it, you don't even think about it. It's indispensable. You can go years without thinking about it. When it's gone for five minutes, it's the only thing to think about.
Warren Buffett

Warren Buffett

Warren Buffett

Warren Buffett
Confidence is key. You're not going to put your money - you're not going to leave your money with me unless you're confident I'm going to give it back to you.
Warren Buffett
We've long felt that the only value of stock forecasters is to make fortune tellers look good. Even now, Charlie and I continue to believe that short-term market forecasts are poison and should be kept locked up in a safe place, away from children and also from grown-ups who behave in the market like children.
Warren Buffett
If you buy things you do not need, soon you will have to sell things you need.
Warren Buffett
Government can't deliver a free lunch to the country as a whole. It can, however, determine who pays for lunch. And last week the Senate handed the bill to the wrong party... the poor and middle class.
Warren Buffett
People went crazy with tulip bulbs. They went crazy with the South Sea Bubble, they went crazy internet stocks, they went crazy with the uranium stocks back when I was first getting started.
Warren Buffett
I really like my life. I've arranged my life so that I can do what I want.
Warren Buffett
Let blockheads read what blockheads wrote.
Warren Buffett
Investment philosophy is the clear understanding that by owning shares of stocks he owns businesses, not pieces of paper.
