More quotes by Warren Buffett
I have an 800 freephone number now that I call if I get the urge to buy an airline stock. I call at two in the morning and I say: My name is Warren and I'm an aeroholic. And then they talk me down.
Warren Buffett
Investors should be skeptical of history-based models. Constructed by a nerdy-sounding priesthood using esoteric terms such as beta, gamma, sigma and the like, these models tend to look impressive. Too often, though, investors forget to examine the assumptions behind the models. Beware of geeks bearing formulas.
Warren Buffett
When people tell me they've learned from experience, I tell them the trick is to learn from other people's experience.
Warren Buffett
To be successful, you should concentrate on the world of companies, not arcane accounting mathematics.
Warren Buffett
There are certain things that cannot be adequately explained to a virgin either by words or pictures.
Warren Buffett
We only want to link up with people whom we like, admire, and trust. ... We do not wish to join with managers who lack admirable qualities, no matter how attractive the prospects of their business. We've never succeeded in making a good deal with a bad person.
Warren Buffett
Too often, a vast collection of possessions ends up possessing its owner.
Warren Buffett
You're neither right nor wrong because other people agree with you. You're right because your facts are right and your reasoning is right - that's the only thing that makes you right. And if your facts and reasoning are right, you don't have to worry about anybody else.
Warren Buffett
It irritates the hell out of me but you can't buy love.
Warren Buffett
If you look at the Forbes 400, they are paying a lower rate, accounting payroll taxes, than their secretary or - whomever around their office.
Warren Buffett
If anything, taxes for the lower and middle class and maybe even the upper-middle class should even probably be cut further. But I think that people at the high end - people like myself - should be paying a lot more in taxes. We have it better than we've ever had it.
Warren Buffett
I mean, you may be very mad at some guy that walked away with a huge golden parachute, but that really isn't the important thing.
Warren Buffett
I checked the actuarial tables, and the lowest death rate is among six-year-olds. So I decided to eat like a six-year-old.
Warren Buffett
I measure success by how many people love me. And the best way to be loved is to be lo veable.
Warren Buffett
it's a good idea to review past mistakes before committing new ones.
Warren Buffett
You’d get very rich if you thought of yourself as having a card with only twenty punches in a lifetime, and every financial decision used up one punch. You’d resist the temptation to dabble. You’d make more good decisions and you’d make more big decisions.
Warren Buffett
One of the ironies of the stock market is the emphasis on activity. Brokers, using terms such as 'marketability' and 'liquidity,' sing the praises of companies with high share turnover... but investors should understand that what is good for the croupier is not good for the customer. A hyperactive stock market is the pick pocket of enterprise.
Warren Buffett
The future is never clear you pay a very high price in the stock market for a cheery consensus. Uncertainty actually is the friend of the buyer of long-term values.
Warren Buffett
The most important investment you can make is in yourself... nobody can tax it or take it away from you.
Warren Buffett
For some reason people take their cues from price action rather than from values. Price is what you pay. Value is what you get.
Warren Buffett
