Risk comes from not knowing what you are doing so wide diversification is only required when investors are ignorant. You only have to do a very few things in your life so long as you don't do too many things wrong.

More quotes by Warren Buffett
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.
Warren Buffett
Interest rates are to asset prices what gravity is to the apple. When there are low interest rates, there is a very low gravitational pull on asset prices.
Warren Buffett
You can't stand to see your neighbor getting rich. You know you're smarter than he is and he's doing these things and he's getting rich.
Warren Buffett
Growth and value investing are joined at the hip.
Warren Buffett
Always invest for the long term.
Warren Buffett
We would do best in a market where everyone acted foolishly.
Warren Buffett
Always associate yourself with people who are better than you.
Warren Buffett
I'm putting all my money in the Chinese toy market.
Warren Buffett
We've used up a lot of bullets. And we talk about stimulus. But the truth is, we're running a federal deficit that's 9 percent of GDP. That is stimulative as all get out. It's more stimulative than any policy we've followed since World War II.
Warren Buffett
... it's important to have the right monetary policy. It's important for, to have the right fiscal policy. But it's nowhere near as important as just the normal regenerative capacity of American capitalism.
Warren Buffett
First, many in Wall Street - a community in which quality control is not prized - will sell investors anything they will buy.
Warren Buffett
I have a wonderful family. I have a job that I love and wonderful people who help me with it. It can't get any better than that.
Warren Buffett
I find that the standard of living does not go up in proportion with the cost of living. The trick in life is to do things that are fun all the time.
Warren Buffett
Charlie [Munger] and I are not big fans of resumes. Instead, we focus on brains, passion and integrity.
Warren Buffett
Investors have to remember: corporate profits are going up, but stocks are going up faster. How can that continue indefinitely? Investors can only earn what companies themselves can earn the government or the markets themselves don't kick anything in. How can you get anything more out of a farm than what it grows?
Warren Buffett
If you were at Lehman, the same thing happened. If you were at AIG, the shareholders are getting creamed on these things. And those shareholders are not just a bunch of big shots in Wall Street. Those are pension funds, and those are investors all over the country. I wouldn't worry too much about that. Justice won't be perfect on it.
Warren Buffett
A bull market is like sex. It feels best just before it ends.
Warren Buffett
We still find very few [stocks] that even mildly interest us. That dismal fact is testimony to the insanity of valuations reached during The Great Bubble. Unfortunately, the hangover may prove to be proportional to the binge.
Warren Buffett
For some reason, people take their cues from price action rather than from values. What doesn't work is when you start doing things that you don't understand or because they worked last week for somebody else. The dumbest reason in the world to buy a stock is because it's going up.
Warren Buffett
Investing is not as tough as being a top-notch bridge player. All it takes is the ability to see things as they really are.
Warren Buffett
