We simply attempt to be fearful when others are greedy and to be greedy only when others are fearful.
Warren Buffett

I made my first investment at age eleven. I was wasting my life up until then.

The most important thing in terms of your circle of competence is not how large the area of it is, but how well you've defined the perimeter.

It's a big mistake to try and mislead people. They will turn around.
Warren Buffett
Image
If the world couldn't see your results, would you rather be thought of as the world's greatest investor but in reality have the world's worst record? Or be thought of as the world's worst investor when you were actually the best?
Warren Buffett
Image
It is impossible to unsign a contract, so do all your thinking before you sign.
Warren Buffett
Image
Like most trends, at the beginning it's driven by fundamentals, at some point speculation takes over. What the wise man does in the beginning, the fool does in the end.
Warren Buffett
Image
America should stand for more than just wealth.
Warren Buffett
Image
If you get to my age in life and nobody thinks well of you, I don't care how big your bank account is, your life is a disaster.
Warren Buffett
Image
Most people get interested in stocks when everyone else is. The time to get interested is when no one else is. You can't buy what is popular and do well.
