Is management candid with the shareholders?
Warren Buffett
What's hot today isn't likely to be hot tomorrow. The stock market reverts to fundamental returns over the long run. Don't follow the herd.
Warren Buffett
It's easier to create money than to spend it.
Warren Buffett
The patient that's on the floor with the cardiac arrest is not Wall Street. It's the American economy.
Warren Buffett
If you're extremely rich, and you have got children, my theory was, you give them enough so they can do anything, but not enough so they can do nothing.
Warren Buffett
My father was the best person i've ever known.
Warren Buffett
I don't know that I could draw one that's perfect. But I'd rather by approximately right than precisely wrong, and it would be precisely wrong to turn it down.
Warren Buffett
The stockmarket is a semi-psychotic creature given to extremes of elation and despair.
Warren Buffett
Be brave when others are afraid, and afraid when others are brave.
Warren Buffett
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure understated.
Warren Buffett
Of one thing be certain: if a CEO is enthused about a particularly foolish acquisition, both his internal staff and his outside advisors will come up with whatever projections are needed to justify his stance. Only in fairy tales are emperors told that they are naked.
Warren Buffett
Anyone who believes a growth rate in excess of 15% per annum over the long term is attainable should pursue a career in sales, but avoid one in mathematics.
Warren Buffett
The stock market is a no-called-strike game. You don’t have to swing at everything – you can wait for your pitch.
Warren Buffett
Over the years, Charlie [Munger, Berkshire Hathaway Vice Chairman] and I have observed many accounting-based frauds of staggering size. Few of the perpetrators have been punished many have not even been censured. It has been far safer to steal large sums with pen than small sums with a gun.
Warren Buffett
It irritates the hell out of me but you can't buy love.
Warren Buffett
If, when making a stock investment, you're not considering holding it at least ten years, don't waste more than ten minutes considering it.
Warren Buffett
In the financial markets I find it easy to predict what will happen and very difficult to predict when it will happen. I think that things were clear during the bubble as to what would happen eventually.
Warren Buffett
With housing it's something even more dramatic than that, because most people aspire to own their own home.If you really think that houses prices are going to go up next year and the year after, you feel if I don't buy it this year, I'm going to have to buy it next year.That's not true of an Internet stock. But it's true of a home.
Warren Buffett
On his Giving Pledge philanthropy: The way I got the message out was to get a copy of FORBES, look down that 400 list and start making phone calls! Bill and Melinda [Gates] did the same thing. So keep publishing the list so I can milk it.
Warren Buffett
For some reason, people take their cues from price action rather than from values. What doesn't work is when you start doing things that you don't understand or because they worked last week for somebody else. The dumbest reason in the world to buy a stock is because it's going up.
