More quotes by Warren Buffett
Market price, while used exclusively to value our investments in minority positions, is not a relevant factor when applied to our controlling interests.
Warren Buffett
A hyperactive stock market is the pickpocket of enterprise.
Warren Buffett
It's never paid to bet against America.
Warren Buffett
It is more important to say no to an opportunity, than to say yes.
Warren Buffett
There are three kinds of people: 1. Innovators. 2. Imitators. 3. Idiots.
Warren Buffett
My rather puritanical view is that any investment manager, whether operating as broker, investment counselor of a trust department, investment company, etc., should be willing to state unequivocally what he is going to attempt to accomplish and how he proposes to measure the extent to which he gets the job done.
Warren Buffett
I don't need 15 houses. Owning real estate doesn't mean much to me. I don't like to think about things like that. I don't need 12 boats, or even the world's largest boat with a crew of 80. I'd have to take care of them, to worry about them. I get a lot more fun out of life without all the bells and whistles.
Warren Buffett
Investment decision should be made on the basis of the most probable compounding of after-tax net worth with minimum risk.
Warren Buffett
Accounting consequences do not influence our operating or capital-allocation decisions. When acquisition costs are similar, we much prefer to purchase $2 of earnings that is not reportable by us under standard accounting principles than to purchase $1 of earnings that is reportable.
Warren Buffett
If the reason for doing something is that everyone else is doing it, it's not a good enough reason.
Warren Buffett
We intend to continue our practice of working only with people whom we like and admire. This policy not only maximizes our chances for good results, it also ensures us an extraordinarily good time.
Warren Buffett
Lethargy, bordering on sloth should remain the cornerstone of an investment style.
Warren Buffett
Much success can be attributed to inactivity. Most investors cannot resist the temptation to constantly buy and sell.
Warren Buffett
Always associate yourself with people who are better than you.
Warren Buffett
Don't invest in pieces of papers (stocks), invest in great businesses underlying them
Warren Buffett
What's hot today isn't likely to be hot tomorrow. The stock market reverts to fundamental returns over the long run. Don't follow the herd.
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
It's not debt per say that overwhelms an individual corporation or country. Rather it is a continuous increase in debt in relation to income that causes trouble.
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
Is management rational?
Warren Buffett
