During inflation, Goodwill is the gift that keeps on giving.
Warren Buffett
Image
It is unquestionably true that the investment companies have their money more conventionally invested than we do. To many people conventionality is indistinguishable from conservatism. In my view, this represents erroneous thinking. Neither a conventional nor an unconventional approach, per se, is conservative.

I insist on a lot of time being spent, almost every day, to just sit and think. That is very uncommon in American business. I read and think. So I do more reading and thinking, and make less impulse decisions than most people in business. I do it because I like this kind of life.
Warren Buffett

Warren Buffett
Image
In business, I look for economic castles protected by unbreachable 'moats'.
Warren Buffett
Image
People do, as long as you have markets, you'll have excesses.
Warren Buffett
Image
The 19th century belonged to England, the 20th century belonged to the U.S., and the 21st century belongs to China. Invest accordingly.
Warren Buffett
Image
Nevertheless, as circumstances presently appear, I feel substantially greater size is more likely to harm future results than to help them. This might not be true for my own personal results, but it is likely to be true for your results.
Warren Buffett
Image
I never try to predict the market.
Warren Buffett
Image
There is seldom just one cockroach in the kitchen. You know, you turn on the light and, all of sudden, they all start scurrying around.
