More quotes by Warren Buffett
You do things when the opportunities come along. I've had periods in my life when I've had a bundle of ideas come along, and I've had long dry spells. If I get an idea next week, I'll do something. If not, I won't do a damn thing.
Warren Buffett
A market downturn, doesn't bother us. For us and our long term investors, it is an opportunity to increase our ownership of great companies with great management at good prices. Only for short term investors and market timers is a correction not an opportunity.
Warren Buffett
It's never paid to bet against America.
Warren Buffett
Does the business have favourable long term prospects?
Warren Buffett
Investors have to remember: corporate profits are going up, but stocks are going up faster. How can that continue indefinitely? Investors can only earn what companies themselves can earn the government or the markets themselves don't kick anything in. How can you get anything more out of a farm than what it grows?
Warren Buffett
Only those who will be sellers of equities in the near future should be happy at seeing stocks rise. Prospective purchasers should much prefer sinking prices.
Warren Buffett
What an investor needs is the ability to correctly evaluate selected businesses. Note that word “selected”: You don't have to be an expert on every company, or even many. You only have to be able to evaluate companies within your circle of competence. The size of that circle is not very important knowing its boundaries, however, is vital.
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
Bull markets and Bear markets can obscure mathematical laws, they cannot repeal them.
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
The capital gains tax is 15 percent now. So I sit there in my office and I make a lot of money by capital gains, and I pay 15 percent, and I pay no payroll tax on it.
Warren Buffett
Of our 49 billion, we haven't moved any to Bitcoin
Warren Buffett
The only way to get love is to be lovable. It's very irritating if you have a lot of money. You'd like to think you could write a check: I'll buy a million dollars' worth of love. But it doesn't work that way. The more you give love away, the more you get.
Warren Buffett
Valuing a business is part art and part science.
Warren Buffett
In the insurance business, there is no statute of limitation on stupidity.
Warren Buffett
A pin lies in wait for every bubble and when the two eventually meet, a new wave of investors learns some very old lessons.
Warren Buffett
The most important quality for an investor is temperament, not intellect.
Warren Buffett
Mark Zuckerberg will be a hero to many young entrepreneurs 20 years from now. Bill Gates will be a hero to others, and they will look to those [people] like I read books when I was in my teens about Rockefeller or Carnegie.
Warren Buffett
Equities will do well over time - you just have to avoid getting excited when other people are getting excited.
Warren Buffett
Interest rates are to asset prices what gravity is to the apple. When there are low interest rates, there is a very low gravitational pull on asset prices.
