We still find very few [stocks] that even mildly interest us. That dismal fact is testimony to the insanity of valuations reached during The Great Bubble. Unfortunately, the hangover may prove to be proportional to the binge.

More quotes by Warren Buffett
Investing is simple, but not easy.
Warren Buffett
In investing, just as in baseball, to put runs on the scoreboard, one must watch the playing field, not the scoreboard.
Warren Buffett
It's a lot easier to buy things than it is to sell them.
Warren Buffett
I'm putting all my money in the Chinese toy market.
Warren Buffett
There is no staff. I make all the investment decisions and I do all my own analysis.
Warren Buffett
In the financial markets I find it easy to predict what will happen and very difficult to predict when it will happen. I think that things were clear during the bubble as to what would happen eventually.
Warren Buffett
Buy companies with strong histories of profitability and with a dominant business franchise.
Warren Buffett
Look at market fluctuations as your friend rather than your enemy profit from folly rather than participate in it.
Warren Buffett
I think that both parties should declare the debt limit as a political weapon of mass destruction which can't be used. I mean, it is silly to have a country that has 237 years building up its reputation and then have people threaten to tear it down because they're not getting some other matter.
Warren Buffett
Don't risk what is important to you, to get what is not important to you.
Warren Buffett
An irresistable footnote: in 1971, pension fund managers invested a record 122% of net funds available in equities - at full prices they couldn't buy enough of them. In 1974, after the bottom had fallen out, they committed a then record low of 21% to stocks.
Warren Buffett
Asset values and earning power are the dominant factors affecting the valuation of a controlling interest in a business. Market price, which governs valuation of minority interest positions, is of little or no importance in valuing a controlling interest.
Warren Buffett
The rest of the world really likes our stuff pretty well. It's just we buy so damn much of what they produce.
Warren Buffett
In the insurance business, there is no statute of limitation on stupidity.
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
You don't want 300 million Americans putting their money under the mattress.
Warren Buffett
My rather puritanical view is that any investment manager, whether operating as broker, investment counselor of a trust department, investment company, etc., should be willing to state unequivocally what he is going to attempt to accomplish and how he proposes to measure the extent to which he gets the job done.
Warren Buffett
You really don't need leverage in this world much. If you're smart, you're going to make a lot of money without borrowing. I've never borrowed a significant amount of money in my life. Never. Never will. I've got no interest in it.
Warren Buffett
We also believe candour benefits us as managers. The CEO who misleads often in public eventually misleads himself in private.
Warren Buffett
The best investment you can make is in yourself.
Warren Buffett
