Warren Buffett
I don't try and guess when to get in and out of the market. I have owned stocks consistently since 1942. I owned the - I was buying stocks the day before the election. I was buying the same stocks the day after election. And if Hillary had been elected, it would have been the same thing.

Warren Buffett
As of 1992, in fact-though the picture would have improved since then-the money that had been made since the dawn of aviation by all of this country's airline companies was zero. Absolutely zero.
Warren Buffett
In the great majority of cases we simply do not know enough about the industry or company to come to sensible judgments-in that situation we pass.
Warren Buffett
What we really want to do is buy businesses that we would be happy to own forever.
Warren Buffett
The plan itself is opportunism. There is no plan before that.
Warren Buffett
Having a large amount of leverage is like driving a car with a dagger on the steering wheel pointed at your heart. If you do that, you will be a better driver. There will be fewer accidents but when they happen, they will be fatal.
Warren Buffett
Growth and value investing are joined at the hip.
Warren Buffett
I have no idea on timing. It’s easier to tell what will happen than when it will happen. I would say that what is going on in terms of trade policy is going to have very important consequences.
Warren Buffett
The rich invest in time, the poor invest in money.
Warren Buffett
A public-opinion poll is no substitute for thought.
