The real fortunes in this country have been made by people who have been right about the business they invested in, and not right about the timing of the stock market.
Warren Buffett
Image
The American economy is going to do fine. But it won't do fine every year and every week and every month. I mean, if you don't believe that, forget about buying stocks anyway... It's a positive-sum game, long term. And the only way an investor can get killed is by high fees or by trying to outsmart the market.

There is no staff. I make all the investment decisions and I do all my own analysis.
Warren Buffett
Image
In the financial markets I find it easy to predict what will happen and very difficult to predict when it will happen. I think that things were clear during the bubble as to what would happen eventually.

I certainly do believe anyone engaged in the management of money should have a standard of measurement, and that both he and the party whose money is managed should have a clear understanding why it is the appropriate standard, what time period should be utilized, etc.

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

Personally, I really hope I can treat everyone equally. I think I have done a pretty good job so far but I know I can do it better.
Warren Buffett
Image
If anything, taxes for the lower and middle class and maybe even the upper-middle class should even probably be cut further. But I think that people at the high end - people like myself - should be paying a lot more in taxes. We have it better than we've ever had it.

Honesty is a very expensive gift, Don't expect it from cheap people.

Nothing sedates rationality like large doses of effortless money.

Is management rational?
Warren Buffett
Image
Be brave when others are afraid, and afraid when others are brave.
Warren Buffett

Do what you love and work for whom you admire the most, and you've given yourself the best chance in life you can.
Warren Buffett

Success in investing doesn’t correlate with I.Q. Once you are above the level of 25 once you have ordinary intelligence, what you need is the temperament to control the urges that get other people into trouble in investing.
Warren Buffett
Image
The market system rewards me outlandishly for what I do, but that doesn't mean I'm any more deserving of a good life than a teacher or a doctor or someone who fights in Afghanistan.
Warren Buffett
Image
The 19th century belonged to England, the 20th century belonged to the U.S., and the 21st century belongs to China. Invest accordingly.
Warren Buffett

If you can tell me who your heroes are, I can tell you how you're going to turn out in life.
Warren Buffett

Market prices for stocks fluctuate at great amplitudes around intrinsic value but, over the long term, intrinsic value is virtually always reflected at some point in market price.
Warren Buffett

I think the biggest thing we need is to unclog the credit markets, and we may need another stimulus - if we do, it's - it should go to the lower and middle-income people.
