Warren Buffett
The smarter the journalists are, the better off society is.
Warren Buffett
The dumbest reason in the world to buy a stock is because it's going up.
Warren Buffett
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.
Warren Buffett
Inactivity strikes us as intelligent behavior.
Warren Buffett
I've often felt there might be more to be gained by studying business failures than business successes.
Warren Buffett
My net worth is the market value of holdings less the tax payable upon sale. The liability is just as real as the asset unless the value of the asset declines (ouch), the asset is given away (no comment), or I die with it. The latter course of action would appear to at least border on a Pyrrhic victory.
