More quotes by Warren Buffett
An IPO is like a negotiated transaction - the seller chooses when to come public - and it's unlikely to be a time that's favourable to you.
Warren Buffett
The stockmarket is a semi-psychotic creature given to extremes of elation and despair.
Warren Buffett
Always associate yourself with people who are better than you.
Warren Buffett
I mean, in terms of alternatives, some people have suggested for example that why don't we - why isn't America doing what Berkshire Hathaway is doing? Why isn't that a better deal for America?
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
The smarter the journalists are, the better off society is. For to a degree, people read the press to inform themselves - and the better the teacher, the better the student body.
Warren Buffett
The greatest investment a young person can make is in their own education, in their own mind. Because money comes and goes. Relationships come and go. But what you learn once stays with you forever.
Warren Buffett
People who watch their weight, golf scores, and fuel bills seem to shun quantitative evaluation of their investment management skills although it involves the most important client in the world-themselves.
Warren Buffett
If you do smart things and use leverage and do one wrong thing along the way, it could wipe you out, because anything times zero is zero. But it's reinforcing when the people around you are doing it successfully, you're doing it successfully, and it's a lot like Cinderella at the ball.
Warren Buffett
You should look at stocks as small pieces of business.
Warren Buffett
The fact that people will be full of greed, fear, or folly is predictable. The sequence is not predictable.
Warren Buffett
Basically, the single-most important decision in evaluating a business is pricing power.
Warren Buffett
I think the worst mistake you can make in stocks is to buy or sell based on current headlines.
Warren Buffett
Buy stocks like you buy your groceries, not like you buy your perfume.
Warren Buffett
There is seldom just one cockroach in the kitchen. You know, you turn on the light and, all of sudden, they all start scurrying around.
Warren Buffett
I just don't see anything available that gives any reasonable hope of delivering such a good year and I have no desire to grope around, hoping to 'get lucky' with other people's money. I am not attuned to this market environment, and I don't want to spoil a decent record by trying to play a game I don't understand just so I can go out a hero.
Warren Buffett
Gold has two significant shortcomings, being neither of much use nor procreative.
Warren Buffett
Lethargy bordering on sloth remains the cornerstone of our investment style. The exception was Wells Fargo, a superbly-managed, high-return banking operation in which we increased our ownership to just under 10%, the most we can own without the approval of the Federal Reserve Board.
Warren Buffett
Other guys read Playboy. I read annual reports.
Warren Buffett
Investment philosophy is the clear understanding that by owning shares of stocks he owns businesses, not pieces of paper.
