More quotes by Warren Buffett
We enjoy the process far more than the proceeds.
Warren Buffett
The (stock) market is there only as a reference point to see if anybody is offering to do anything foolish. When we invest in stocks, we invest in businesses.
Warren Buffett
A pin lies in wait for every bubble. And when the two eventually meet, a new wave of investors learns some very old lessons: First, many in Wall Street (a community in which quality control is not prized) will sell investors anything they will buy. Second, speculation is most dangerous when it looks easiest.
Warren Buffett
Investment students need only two well-taught courses - How to Value a Business and How to Think About Market Prices
Warren Buffett
If you aren't willing to own a stock for ten years, don't even think about owning it for ten minutes. Put together a portfolio of companies whose aggregate earnings march upward over the years, and so also will the portfolio's market value.
Warren Buffett
You don't want 300 million Americans putting their money under the mattress.
Warren Buffett
I wouldn’t mind going to jail if I had three cellmates who played bridge
Warren Buffett
I would say the most satisfying thing actually is watching my three children each pick up on their own interests and work many more hours per week than most people that have jobs at trying to intelligently give away that money in fields that they particularly care about.
Warren Buffett
Good profits simply are not inconsistent with good behavior.
Warren Buffett
If you gave me $100 billion and said take away the soft drink leadership of Coca-Cola in the world, I'd give it back to you and say it can't be done.
Warren Buffett
Mark Zuckerberg will be a hero to many young entrepreneurs 20 years from now. Bill Gates will be a hero to others, and they will look to those [people] like I read books when I was in my teens about Rockefeller or Carnegie.
Warren Buffett
The most important investment you can make is in yourself. Very few people get anything like their potential horsepower translated into the actual horsepower of their output in life. Potential exceeds realization for many people...The best asset is your own self. You can become to an enormous degree the person you want to be.
Warren Buffett
The secret to happiness is having low expectations.
Warren Buffett
I don't think you can have a better secretary of the Treasury than Hank Paulson.
Warren Buffett
I never invest in anything that I don't understand.
Warren Buffett
Diversification may preserve wealth, but concentration builds wealth.
Warren Buffett
I think any time you couple the term Wall Street with bailout or something like that, you know - I don't like what's going on in Wall Street.
Warren Buffett
The plan itself is opportunism. There is no plan before that.
Warren Buffett
If you're extremely rich, and you have got children, my theory was, you give them enough so they can do anything, but not enough so they can do nothing.
Warren Buffett
Confidence in markets and in institutions, it's a lot like oxygen. When you have it, you don't even think about it. It's indispensable. You can go years without thinking about it. When it's gone for five minutes, it's the only thing to think about.
