Warren Buffett
If AIG had tried to unwind their derivatives books. I don't know. It would have hit every institution in the world.
Warren Buffett

It's got to be the best intellectual exercise out there. You're seeing through new situations every ten minutes.

Warren Buffett
Stocks of companies selling commodity-like products should come with a warning label: Competition may prove hazardous to human wealth.
Warren Buffett
