Warren Buffett
Buy companies with strong histories of profitability and with a dominant business franchise.
Warren Buffett

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

Warren Buffett

Warren Buffett
When a management with reputation for brilliance gets hooked up with a business with a reputation for bad economics, it's the reputation of the business that remains intact.
Warren Buffett
I never attempt to make money on the stock market. I buy on the assumption that they could close the market the next day and not reopen it for five years.
Warren Buffett
The most important quality for an investor is temperament, not intellect. You need a temperament that neither derives great pleasure from being with the crowd or against the crowd.
Warren Buffett
I like to go for cinches. I like to shoot fish in a barrel. But I like to do it after the water has run out.
Warren Buffett
Our marketable equities tell us by their operating results - not by their daily, or even yearly, price quotations - whether our investments are successful. The market may ignore business success for a while, but eventually will confirm it.
Warren Buffett
It’s not that I want money. It’s the fun of making money and watching it grow.
Warren Buffett
You can't help some increase from this point. I don't want any viewer to go away think a magic wand exists in Congress. So they're going to see some more bad news. But if we do this, we're doing the right thing.
Warren Buffett
Take Wrigley's Chewing Gum. I don't think the Internet is going to change how people chew gum.
