More quotes by Warren Buffett
Ignore the stock market, ignore the economy, and buy a business you understand.
Warren Buffett
Risk comes from not knowing what you're doing.
Warren Buffett
Derivatives are like sex. It's not who we're sleeping with, it's who they're sleeping with that's the problem.
Warren Buffett
Let only individuals contribute - with sensible limits per election. Otherwise, we are well on our way to ensuring that a government of the moneyed, by the moneyed, and for the moneyed shall not perish from the earth.
Warren Buffett
If you are not willing to own a stock for 10 years, do not even think about owning it for 10 minutes.
Warren Buffett
The Fed is the greatest hedge fund in history.
Warren Buffett
Does the business have a consistent operating history?
Warren Buffett
The (stock) market is there only as a reference point to see if anybody is offering to do anything foolish. When we invest in stocks, we invest in businesses.
Warren Buffett
The best business returns are usually achieved by companies that are doing something quite similar today to what they were doing five or ten years ago.
Warren Buffett
The rest of the world really likes our stuff pretty well. It's just we buy so damn much of what they produce.
Warren Buffett
We say we are trying to buy into businesses with excellent economics, run by honest and able people at a decent price. We buy very few securities, so we look at it as focused investing.
Warren Buffett
It's a lot easier to buy things than it is to sell them.
Warren Buffett
You don't need to have extraordinary effort to achieve extraordinary results. You just need to do the ordinary, everyday things exceptionally well.
Warren Buffett
Failure comes from ego, greed, envy, fear, imitation. I have success not because I am smart, but because I am rational.
Warren Buffett
In looking for people to hire, look for three qualities: integrity, intelligence and energy. And if they don't have the first, the other two will kill you.
Warren Buffett
Our approach is very much profiting from lack of change rather than from change.
Warren Buffett
Success is having people love you that you want to have love you.
Warren Buffett
My net worth is the market value of holdings less the tax payable upon sale. The liability is just as real as the asset unless the value of the asset declines (ouch), the asset is given away (no comment), or I die with it. The latter course of action would appear to at least border on a Pyrrhic victory.
Warren Buffett
Derivatives are financial weapons of mass destruction.
Warren Buffett
The first rule is not to lose. The second rule is not to forget the first rule.
Warren Buffett
