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
If you are a professional and have confidence, then I would advocate lots of concentration.
Warren Buffett

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
The most common cause of low prices is pessimism - sometimes pervasive, sometimes specific to a company or industry. We want to do business in such an environment, not because we like pessimism but because we like the prices it produces.
Warren Buffett
You don't want 300 million Americans putting their money under the mattress.
Warren Buffett
I think the worst mistake you can make in stocks is to buy or sell based on current headlines.
Warren Buffett
I want to be able to explain my mistakes. This means I do only the things I completely understand.
Warren Buffett
Asset-heavy businesses generally earn low rates of return - rates that often barely provide enough capital to fund the inflationary needs of the existing business, with nothing left over for real growth, for distribution to owners, or for acquisition of new businesses
Warren Buffett
Personally, I really hope I can treat everyone equally. I think I have done a pretty good job so far but I know I can do it better.
Warren Buffett
Enjoy your work and work for whom you admire.
Warren Buffett
The difference between successful people and really successful people is that really successful people say no to almost everything.
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
