More quotes by Warren Buffett
Let blockheads read what blockheads wrote.
Warren Buffett
I read annual reports of the company I'm looking at and I read the annual reports of the competitors - that is the main source of material.
Warren Buffett
You really don't need leverage in this world much. If you're smart, you're going to make a lot of money without borrowing. I've never borrowed a significant amount of money in my life. Never. Never will. I've got no interest in it.
Warren Buffett
I just don't see anything available that gives any reasonable hope of delivering such a good year and I have no desire to grope around, hoping to 'get lucky' with other people's money. I am not attuned to this market environment, and I don't want to spoil a decent record by trying to play a game I don't understand just so I can go out a hero.
Warren Buffett
The smartest side to take in a bidding war is the losing side.
Warren Buffett
I'm always interested in understanding the math of things and understanding as much as I can about all aspects of business. And what I learn today may be useful to me two years from now. That's really the wonderful thing about investments is your knowledge is cumulative.
Warren Buffett
Let only individuals contribute - with sensible limits per election. Otherwise, we are well on our way to ensuring that a government of the moneyed, by the moneyed, and for the moneyed shall not perish from the earth.
Warren Buffett
[Gold] gets dug out of the ground in Africa, or someplace. Then we melt it down, dig another hole, bury it again and pay people to stand around guarding it. It has no utility. Anyone watching from Mars would be scratching their head.
Warren Buffett
I mean the truth is, I've never had it so good in terms of taxes. I am paying the lowest tax rate that I've ever paid in my life.
Warren Buffett
Chains of habit are too light to be felt until they are too heavy to be broken.
Warren Buffett
What motivates most gold purchasers is their belief that the ranks of the fearful will grow ... As 'bandwagon' investors join any party, they create their own truth - for a while.
Warren Buffett
I lose confidence in other people, all kinds of institutions.
Warren Buffett
The active investors will have their returns diminished by a far greater percentage than will their inactive brethren. That means that the passive group - the know-nothings - must win.
Warren Buffett
I don't want to be on the other side of the table from the customer. I was never selling anything that I didn't believe in myself or use myself.
Warren Buffett
I try to buy stock in businesses that are so wonderful that an idiot can run them. Because sooner or later, one will.
Warren Buffett
If I got any good ideas out of that or I think they're good ideas, I'll be glad to contribute them but the system will probably overdo some other things.
Warren Buffett
Success in investing doesn’t correlate with I.Q. Once you are above the level of 25 once you have ordinary intelligence, what you need is the temperament to control the urges that get other people into trouble in investing.
Warren Buffett
With each investment you make, you should have the courage and the conviction to place at least ten per cent of your net worth in that stock
Warren Buffett
I always invest in companies an idiot could run, because one day one will.
Warren Buffett
Returns decrease as motion increases.
