Warren Buffett
Investors making purchases in an overheated market need to recognize that it may often take an extended period for the value of even an outstanding company to catch up with the price they paid.

Activity is the enemy of investment returns.
Warren Buffett
Investing is the greatest business in the world because you never have to swing. You stand at the plate the pitcher throws you General Motors at 47! U.S. Steel at 39!

Warren Buffett
Problems in a company are like cockroaches in the kitchen. You will never find just one
Warren Buffett
There is no staff. I make all the investment decisions and I do all my own analysis.
Warren Buffett

Warren Buffett
Take Wrigley's Chewing Gum. I don't think the Internet is going to change how people chew gum.
Warren Buffett
Buy stocks like you buy your groceries, not like you buy your perfume.
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.
