Would your reply possibly be this? Well, it all depends on what my tax rate will be on the gain you're saying we're going to make.

You have to understand accounting and you have to understand the nuances of accounting. It's the language of business and it's an imperfect language, but unless you are willing to put in the effort to learn accounting - how to read and interpret financial statements - you really shouldn't select stocks yourself

When you listen to tax-cut rhetoric, remember that giving one class of taxpayer a break requires - now or down the line - that an equivalent burden be imposed on other parties.

There is no perfect mathematical formula for pricing a business.
Warren Buffett
Image
I've argued with the senators and congressmen I've talked to. You don't want to be too little too late. If you buy them at the right price, you may be buying two trillion of face value.
Warren Buffett
Image
I tell college students, when you get to be my age you will be successful if the people who you hope to have love you, do love you.
Warren Buffett
Image
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
Image
It is madness to risk losing what you need in pursuing what you simply desire.
Warren Buffett

A bull market is like sex. It feels best just before it ends.
Warren Buffett
