More quotes by Warren Buffett
You should be unconcerned about short-term price action when you own the securities directly, just as you were unconcerned when you owned them indirectly through BPL. I think about them as businesses, not stocks, and if the business does all right over the long term, so will the stock.
Warren Buffett
The big question about how people behave is whether they've got an Inner Scorecard or an Outer Scorecard. It helps if you can be satisfied with an Inner Scorecard.
Warren Buffett
Our policy is to concentrate holdings. We try to avoid buying a little of this or that when we are only lukewarm about the business or its price. When we are convinced as to attractiveness, we believe in buying worthwhile amounts.
Warren Buffett
Consciously paying more for a stock than its calculated value - in the hope that it can soon be sold for a still-higher price - should be labelled speculation
Warren Buffett
When it's raining gold, reach for a bucket, not a thimble.
Warren Buffett
We will only do with your money what we would do with our own.
Warren Buffett
I have never been able to understand why the tax comes as such a body blow to many people since the rate on long-term capital gain is lower than on most likes of endeavor (tax policy indicated digging ditches is regarded as socially less desirable than shuffling stock certificates).
Warren Buffett

Warren Buffett
Investing requires qualities of temperament way more than it requires qualities of intellect.
Warren Buffett

Warren Buffett
I've never been very fully employed either.
Warren Buffett
Like I say, I don't think it'll be done perfectly. Maybe we'll end up with a little bit better [economy] system.
Warren Buffett
It is more important to say no to an opportunity, than to say yes.
Warren Buffett
In the insurance business, there is no statute of limitation on stupidity.
Warren Buffett
Good big decisions do not take time at all, if they do you are in trouble.
Warren Buffett
The American worker is more productive than he's ever been.
Warren Buffett
I read annual reports of the company I'm looking at and I read the annual reports of the competitors - that is the main source of material.
Warren Buffett
In a bull market, one must avoid the error of the preening duck that quacks boastfully after a torrential rainstorm, thinking that its paddling skills have caused it to rise in the world. A right-thinking duck would instead compare its position after the downpour to that of the other ducks on the pond.
Warren Buffett
If you've got a good enough business, if you have a monopoly newspaper, if you have a network television station - I'm talking of the past - you know, your idiot nephew could run it. And if you've got a really good business, it doesn't make any difference.
Warren Buffett
Resolution Trust Company was set up to liquidate a bunch of assets that the government had inherited because the savings and loans went broke.
