A CEO's behavior has a huge impact on managers down the line.
Warren Buffett
Image
It's got to be the best intellectual exercise out there. You're seeing through new situations every ten minutes. In the stock market you don't base your decisions on what the market is doing, but on what you think is rational. Bridge is about weighing gain/loss ratios. You're doing calculations all the time.
Warren Buffett

If you knew what was going to happen in the economy, you still wouldn't necessarily know what was going to happen in the stock market.
Warren Buffett
Image
If you don't make mistakes you can't make decisions.
Warren Buffett

I don't need 15 houses. Owning real estate doesn't mean much to me. I don't like to think about things like that. I don't need 12 boats, or even the world's largest boat with a crew of 80. I'd have to take care of them, to worry about them. I get a lot more fun out of life without all the bells and whistles.
Warren Buffett
Image
Confidence is key. You're not going to put your money - you're not going to leave your money with me unless you're confident I'm going to give it back to you.
Warren Buffett
Image
Money will not change how healthy you are or how many people love you.
Warren Buffett
Image
I lose confidence in other people, all kinds of institutions.
Warren Buffett
Image
We've got all the ingredients for a sensational future.
Warren Buffett
Image
When forced to choose, I will not trade even a night's sleep for the chance of extra profits.
Warren Buffett
Image
For some reason people take their cues from price action rather than from values. Price is what you pay. Value is what you get.
Warren Buffett
Image
Making money isn't the backbone of our guiding purpose it is the by-product of our guiding purpose.
Warren Buffett
Image
Time is the friend of the wonderful company, the enemy of the mediocre.
Warren Buffett
Image
It makes a difference who the treasury secretary is.
Warren Buffett

Why not invest your assets in the companies you really like? As Mae West said, 'Too much of a good thing can be wonderful'.
