More quotes by Warren Buffett
The trick is, when there is nothing to do, do nothing.
Warren Buffett
Of the billionaires I have known, money just brings out the basic traits in them. If they were jerks before they had money, they are simply jerks with a billion dollars.
Warren Buffett
The (stock) market is there only as a reference point to see if anybody is offering to do anything foolish. When we invest in stocks, we invest in businesses.
Warren Buffett
Investment students need only two well-taught courses - How to Value a Business and How to Think About Market Prices
Warren Buffett
We will prosper or suffer in controlled investments in relation to the operating performances of our businesses - we will not attempt to profit by playing various games in the securities markets.
Warren Buffett
I have a wonderful family. I have a job that I love and wonderful people who help me with it. It can't get any better than that.
Warren Buffett
Earnings can be pliable as putty when a charlatan heads the company reporting them.
Warren Buffett
A bull market is like sex. It feels best just before it ends.
Warren Buffett
Never risk what you have and need for what we don't have and don't need.
Warren Buffett
In the end, alchemy, whether it is metallurgical or financial, fails. A base business can not be transformed into a golden business by tricks of accounting or capital structure. The man claiming to be a financial alchemist may become rich. But gullible investors rather than business achievements will usually be the source of his wealth.
Warren Buffett
The Fed is the greatest hedge fund in history.
Warren Buffett
I am a better investor because I am a businessman, and a better businessman because I am no investor.
Warren Buffett
Our approach is very much profiting from lack of change rather than from change.
Warren Buffett
Like most trends, at the beginning it's driven by fundamentals, at some point speculation takes over. What the wise man does in the beginning, the fool does in the end.
Warren Buffett
We don't have to be smarter than the rest. We have to be more disciplined than the rest.
Warren Buffett
People do, as long as you have markets, you'll have excesses.
Warren Buffett
Our policy is to concentrate holdings. We try to avoid buying a little of this or that when we are only lukewarm about the business or its price. When we are convinced as to attractiveness, we believe in buying worthwhile amounts.
Warren Buffett
We set no volume goals in our insurance business generally-and certainly not in reinsurance-as virtually any volume can be achieved if profitability standards are ignored.
Warren Buffett
Managers that always promise to 'make the numbers' will at some point be tempted to make up the numbers.
Warren Buffett
The rich invest in time, the poor invest in money.
Warren Buffett
