The best investment you can make, is an investment in yourself... The more you learn, the more you'll earn.
Warren Buffett
Image
I was lucky enough to be born in a time and place where society values my talent, and gave me a good education to develop that talent, and set up the laws and the finanical system to let me do what I love doing-and make a lot of money doing it. The least I can do is help pay for all that.

When a management with a reputation for brilliance tackles a business with a reputation for bad economics, it is the reputation of the business that remains intact.

If you can't read the scoreboard. You don't know the score. If you don't know the score, you can't tell the winners from the losers.
Warren Buffett

I have no idea on timing. It’s easier to tell what will happen than when it will happen. I would say that what is going on in terms of trade policy is going to have very important consequences.

I choose to work with every single person that I work with. That ends up being the most important factor. I don't interact with people I don't like or admire. That's the key. It's like marrying.

If you are a professional and have confidence, then I would advocate lots of concentration.
Warren Buffett

Well, I think the biggest mistake is not learning the habits of saving properly early. Because saving is a habit. And then, trying to get rich quick. It's pretty easy to get well-to-do slowly. But it's not easy to get rich quick.

Forecasts may tell you a great deal about the forecaster they tell you nothing about the future.
Warren Buffett
Image
A diamond cannot be polished without friction, nor a person perfected without trials. Someone is enjoying shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago.
Warren Buffett
Image
Investors... can't pick stocks that are better than average. Stocks are a good thing to own over time. There's only two things you can do wrong: You can buy the wrong ones, and you can buy or sell them at the wrong time. And the truth is you never need to sell them.

The less prudence with which others conduct their affairs, the greater the prudence with which we should conduct our own affairs.
Warren Buffett
Image
Part of making good decisions in business is recognizing the poor decisions you've made and why they were poor. I've made lots of mistakes. I'm going to make more. It's the name of the game. You don't want to expect perfection in yourself. You want to strive to do your best. It's too demanding to expect perfection in yourself.

There is no staff. I make all the investment decisions and I do all my own analysis.
