Gold is a way of going long on fear, and it has been a pretty good way of going long on fear from time to time. But you really have to hope people become more afraid in a year or two years than they are now. And if they become more afraid you make money, if they become less afraid you lose money, but the gold itself doesn’t produce anything.

With housing it's something even more dramatic than that, because most people aspire to own their own home.If you really think that houses prices are going to go up next year and the year after, you feel if I don't buy it this year, I'm going to have to buy it next year.That's not true of an Internet stock. But it's true of a home.
Warren Buffett
Charlie [Munger] and I are not big fans of resumes. Instead, we focus on brains, passion and integrity.
Warren Buffett

Warren Buffett
The stockmarket is a semi-psychotic creature given to extremes of elation and despair.
