More quotes by Warren Buffett
You get what I call the natural progression, the three Is. The innovators, the imitators, and the idiots.
Warren Buffett
Accounting consequences do not influence our operating or capital-allocation decisions. When acquisition costs are similar, we much prefer to purchase $2 of earnings that is not reportable by us under standard accounting principles than to purchase $1 of earnings that is reportable.
Warren Buffett
A fool and his money are soon invited everywhere.
Warren Buffett
I have worked with investors for 60 years and I have yet to see anyone - not even when capital gains rates were 39.9 percent in 1976-77 - shy away from a sensible investment because of the tax rate on the potential gain.
Warren Buffett
Most investors, both institutional and individual, will find that the best way to own common stocks (shares') is through an index fund that charges minimal fees. Those following this path are sure to beat the net results (after fees and expenses) of the great majority of investment professionals.
Warren Buffett
Take the probability of loss times the amount of possible loss from the probability of gain times the amount of possible gain. That is what we're trying to do. It's imperfect, but that's what it's all about.

Warren Buffett
You should be unconcerned about short-term price action when you own the securities directly, just as you were unconcerned when you owned them indirectly through BPL. I think about them as businesses, not stocks, and if the business does all right over the long term, so will the stock.
Warren Buffett
It's never paid to bet against America. We come through things, but its not always a smooth ride.
Warren Buffett
The capital gains tax is 15 percent now. So I sit there in my office and I make a lot of money by capital gains, and I pay 15 percent, and I pay no payroll tax on it.
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
Honesty is a very expensive gift, Don't expect it from cheap people.
Warren Buffett
With a wonderful business, you can figure out what will happen you can't figure out when it will happen. You don't want to focus on when, you want to focus on what. If you're right about what, you don't have to worry about when
Warren Buffett
Investing is simple, but not easy.
Warren Buffett
Buy stocks like you buy your groceries, not like you buy your perfume.
Warren Buffett
The best way in my view is to just buy a low-cost index fund and keep buying it regularly over time, because you'll be buying into a wonderful industry, which in effect is all of American industry... People ought to sit back and relax and keep accumulating over time.
Warren Buffett
If you are a professional and have confidence, then I would advocate lots of concentration.
Warren Buffett
The first rule is not to lose. The second rule is not to forget the first rule.
Warren Buffett
I lose confidence in other people, all kinds of institutions.
