More quotes by Warren Buffett
Never invest in a business you can't understand
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
I have a house that I bought 55 years ago. It's warm in the winter it's cool in the summer. It has everything I wanted, plus it has all kinds of good memories. Like my kids, I have good thoughts about that. I can't imagine living any better.
Warren Buffett
You ought to be able to explain why you’re taking the job you’re taking, why you’re making the investment you’re making, or whatever it may be. And if it can’t stand applying pencil to paper, you’d better think it through some more. And if you can’t write an intelligent answer to those questions, don’t do it.
Warren Buffett
The patient that's on the floor with the cardiac arrest is not Wall Street. It's the American economy.
Warren Buffett
I do not like debt and do not like to invest in companies that have too much debt, particularly long-term debt. With long-term debt, increases in interest rates can drastically affect company profits and make future cash flows less predictable.
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
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
Stocks are the only thing that people are happy to buy when the price goes up.
Warren Buffett
We're still in a recession. We're not gonna be out of it for a while, but we will get out.
Warren Buffett
If past history was all there was to the game, the richest people would be librarians.
Warren Buffett
I am not in the business of predicting general stock market of business fluctuations. If you think I can do this, or think it is essential to an investment program, you should not be in the partnership.
Warren Buffett
Our stay-put behavior reflects our view that the stock market serves as a relocation center at which money is moved from the active to the patient.
Warren Buffett
When people talk about cash being king, it's not king if it just sits there and never does anything.
Warren Buffett
A lot of great fortunes in the world have been made by owning a single wonderful business. If you understand the business, you don't need to own very many of them.
Warren Buffett
I've seen more people fail because of liquor and leverage -- leverage being borrowed money. 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.
Warren Buffett
Risk can be greatly reduced by concentrating on only a few holdings.
Warren Buffett
You can't produce a baby in one month by getting nine women pregnant.
Warren Buffett
The wise man once said invest young
Warren Buffett
I insist on a lot of time being spent, almost every day, to just sit and think. That is very uncommon in American business.
Warren Buffett
