More quotes by Warren Buffett
Investment philosophy is the clear understanding that by owning shares of stocks he owns businesses, not pieces of paper.
Warren Buffett
How do you beat Bobby Fischer? You play him at any game but chess. I try to stay in games where I have an edge.
Warren Buffett
The time to buy stocks is consistently over time. You should never buy your investments with the idea, 'I have to get a certain return.' You should look at the best return possible and learn to live with that. But you should not try to make your investments earn what you feel you need. It doesn't work that way. The stock doesn't know you own it.
Warren Buffett
It's got to be the best intellectual exercise out there. You're seeing through new situations every ten minutes. In the stock market you don't base your decisions on what the market is doing, but on what you think is rational. Bridge is about weighing gain/loss ratios. You're doing calculations all the time.
Warren Buffett
Investing in yourself is the best thing you can do. If you've got talents, no one can take them from you.
Warren Buffett
I have an 800 freephone number now that I call if I get the urge to buy an airline stock. I call at two in the morning and I say: My name is Warren and I'm an aeroholic. And then they talk me down.
Warren Buffett
The American economy is going to do fine. But it won't do fine every year and every week and every month. I mean, if you don't believe that, forget about buying stocks anyway... It's a positive-sum game, long term. And the only way an investor can get killed is by high fees or by trying to outsmart the market.
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
Be fearful when the markets get greedy, be greedy when the markets get fearful.
Warren Buffett
The big question about how people behave is whether they've got an Inner Scorecard or an Outer Scorecard. It helps if you can be satisfied with an Inner Scorecard.
Warren Buffett
During inflation, Goodwill is the gift that keeps on giving.
Warren Buffett
If you knew what was going to happen in the economy, you still wouldn't necessarily know what was going to happen in the stock market.
Warren Buffett
You don't ever ask a barber whether you need a haircut.
Warren Buffett
Of our 49 billion, we haven't moved any to Bitcoin
Warren Buffett
I bought a company in the mid-90s called Dexter Shoe and paid $400 million for it. And it went to zero. And I gave about $400 million worth of Berkshire stock, which is probably now worth $400 billion. But I've made lots of dumb decisions. That's part of the game.
Warren Buffett
The real fortunes in this country have been made by people who have been right about the business they invested in, and not right about the timing of the stock market.
Warren Buffett
Never be afraid to ask for too much when selling or offer too little when buying.
Warren Buffett
In looking for people to hire, look for three qualities: integrity, intelligence and energy. And if they don't have the first, the other two will kill you.
Warren Buffett
When you combine ignorance and leverage, you get some pretty interesting results.
Warren Buffett
Working with people who cause your stomach to churn seems much like marrying for money - probably a bad idea under any circumstances, but absolute madness if you are already rich.
Warren Buffett
