More quotes by Warren Buffett
They [Goverment] take from the woman who comes in and takes the wastebaskets out.
Warren Buffett
I mean [Franklin Delano] Roosevelt didn't - you know, when he came in, he didn't print any money.
Warren Buffett
What an investor needs is the ability to correctly evaluate selected businesses. Note that word “selected”: You don't have to be an expert on every company, or even many. You only have to be able to evaluate companies within your circle of competence. The size of that circle is not very important knowing its boundaries, however, is vital.
Warren Buffett
Truly conservative actions arise from intelligent hypotheses, correct facts and sound reasoning.
Warren Buffett
The time to buy stocks is consistently over time. You should never buy your investments with the idea, 'I have to get a certain return.' You should look at the best return possible and learn to live with that. But you should not try to make your investments earn what you feel you need. It doesn't work that way. The stock doesn't know you own it.
Warren Buffett
We always see shifts in employment. If you think about it, if you go back to 1800, it took 80 percent of the labor force to produce enough food for the country. Now it takes less than 3 percent. Well, the truth is that market systems move people around.
Warren Buffett
I asked him what he wanted to do for his career, and he replied that he wanted to go into a particular field, but thought he should work for McKinsey for a few years first to add to his resume. To me that's like saving sex for your old age. It makes no sense.
Warren Buffett
Our favorite holding period is forever.
Warren Buffett
When we really sit back with a smile on our face is when we run into a situation we can understand, where the facts are ascertainable and clear, and the course of action obvious.
Warren Buffett
If you are a professional and have confidence, then I would advocate lots of concentration.
Warren Buffett
In a bull market, one must avoid the error of the preening duck that quacks boastfully after a torrential rainstorm, thinking that its paddling skills have caused it to rise in the world. A right-thinking duck would instead compare its position after the downpour to that of the other ducks on the pond.
Warren Buffett
In the insurance business, there is no statute of limitation on stupidity.
Warren Buffett
If you hit a hole in one every hole, you wouldn’t play golf for very long.
Warren Buffett
A hyperactive stock market is the pickpocket of enterprise.
Warren Buffett
Money to some extent sometimes let you be in more interesting environments. But it can't change how many people love you or how healthy you are.
Warren Buffett
I mean, in terms of alternatives, some people have suggested for example that why don't we - why isn't America doing what Berkshire Hathaway is doing? Why isn't that a better deal for America?
Warren Buffett
The greatest investment a young person can make is in their own education, in their own mind. Because money comes and goes. Relationships come and go. But what you learn once stays with you forever.
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.
Warren Buffett
If AIG had tried to unwind their derivatives books. I don't know. It would have hit every institution in the world.
Warren Buffett
If you want a government that's going to do the things we ask our government to do, you've got to get it from somebody.
Warren Buffett
