So some guy may know how to make money in cocoa beans, but I don't so I just let him have that. But it's got to be something I understand. It's got to be a business with fundamentally good economics. It's got to be a management that I like and trust and admire. And it's got to be a price that makes sense.

Warren Buffett
Image
The range of derivatives contracts is limited only by the imagination of man (or sometimes, so it seems, madmen). Say you want to write a contract speculating on the number of twins to be born in Nebraska in 2020. No problem-at a price, you will easily find an obliging counterparty.

A Company should be viewed as an unfolding movie, not as a still photograph
Warren Buffett
Image
The most common cause of low prices is pessimism - sometimes pervasive, sometimes specific to a company or industry. We want to do business in such an environment, not because we like pessimism but because we like the prices it produces.
Warren Buffett
Image
I think that trying to invest through 535 people is a tough job, you know, and so I would give more latitude.
Warren Buffett
Image
Investment must be rational if you can't understand it, don't do it.
Warren Buffett
Image
You can't buy what is popular and do well.
Warren Buffett

It's better to build than to buy if you can find the right people.
