More quotes by Warren Buffett
The Happiest people DO NOT necessarily have the BEST THINGS. They simply APPRECIATE the things they have.
Warren Buffett
We do not have, nor have had, and never will have an opinion about where the stock market, interest rates, or business activity will be a year from now.
Warren Buffett
Read Ben Graham and Phil Fisher read annual reports, but don't do equations with Greek letters in them.
Warren Buffett
Anything can happen anytime in markets. And no advisor, economist, or TV commentator-and definitely not Charlie nor I-can tell you when chaos will occur. Market forecasters will fill your ear but will never fill your wallet.
Warren Buffett
My favorite time frame for holding a stock is forever.
Warren Buffett
It's better to hang out with people better than you. Pick out associates whose behavior is better than yours and you'll drift in that direction.
Warren Buffett
Diversification is protection against ignorance. It makes little sense if you know what you are doing.
Warren Buffett
I do know that when I am 60, I should be attempting to achieve different personal goals than those which had priority at age 20.
Warren Buffett
You pay a very high price in the stock market for a cheery consensus.
Warren Buffett
I think that trying to invest through 535 people is a tough job, you know, and so I would give more latitude.
Warren Buffett
In my opinion, the entire field of investment management, involving hundreds of billions of dollars, would be more satisfactorily conducted if everyone had a good yardstick for measurement of ability and sensibly applied it.
Warren Buffett
Only when you combine sound intellect with emotional discipline do you get rational behavior.
Warren Buffett
It's a lot easier to buy things than it is to sell them.
Warren Buffett
The .350 hitter expects, and also deserves, a big payoff for his performance - even if he plays for a cellar-dwelling team. And a .150 hitter should get no reward - even if he plays for a pennant winner.
Warren Buffett
Look for companies with high profit margins.
Warren Buffett
Look at market fluctuations as your friend rather than your enemy profit from folly rather than participate in it.
Warren Buffett
The true investor welcomes volatility ... a wildly fluctuating market means that irrationally low prices will periodically be attached to solid businesses.
Warren Buffett
If the world couldn't see your results, would you rather be thought of as the world's greatest investor but in reality have the world's worst record? Or be thought of as the world's worst investor when you were actually the best?
Warren Buffett
The ideal business is one that earns very high returns on capital and that keeps using lots of capital at those high returns. That becomes a compounding machine.
Warren Buffett
If you've been playing poker for half an hour and you still don't know who the patsy is, you're the patsy.
Warren Buffett
