More quotes by Warren Buffett
Never invest in a business you can't understand
Warren Buffett
The speed at which a business success is recognized, furthermore, is not that important as long as the company's intrinsic value is increasing at a satisfactory rate. In fact, delayed recognition can be an advantage: It may give us the chance to buy more of a good thing at a bargain price.
Warren Buffett
I measure success by how many people love me. And the best way to be loved is to be lo veable.
Warren Buffett
We have learned to turn out lots of goods and services, but we haven't learned as well how to have everybody share in the bounty. The obligation of a society as prosperous as ours is to figure out how nobody gets left too far behind.
Warren Buffett
The Stock Market is designed to transfer money from the Active to the Patient.
Warren Buffett
Take the probability of loss times the amount of possible loss from the probability of gain times the amount of possible gain. That is what we're trying to do. It's imperfect, but that's what it's all about.
Warren Buffett
It's going to be tough because the economy is going to be getting worse for a while. And it might fall off a cliff if this doesn't pass. But nobody will ever know that if it does.
Warren Buffett
I think once you start putting phony figures into financial statements, you get in a lot of trouble. And we've seen so much of that in the last 20 years.
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.
Warren Buffett
In the search [of a deal], we adopt the same attitude one might find appropriate in looking for a spouse: It pays to be active, interested, and open-minded, but it does not pay to be in a hurry.
Warren Buffett
If you don’t feel comfortable making a rough estimate of the asset’s future earnings, just forget it and move on. No one has the ability to evaluate every investment possibility. But omniscience isn’t necessary you only need to understand the actions you undertake.
Warren Buffett
Just imagine living on 21,000 a year. I mean you have 20 percent of the population doing that. So you don't have to worry about guys like me.
Warren Buffett
Does the business have a consistent operating history?
Warren Buffett
People who watch their weight, golf scores, and fuel bills seem to shun quantitative evaluation of their investment management skills although it involves the most important client in the world-themselves.
Warren Buffett
We have usually made our best purchases when apprehensions about some macro event were at a peak. Fear is the foe of the faddist, but the friend of the fundamentalist.
Warren Buffett
You can't produce a baby in one month by getting nine women pregnant.
Warren Buffett
Our approach is very much profiting from lack of change rather than from change. With Wrigley chewing gum, it's the lack of change that appeals to me. I don't think it is going to be hurt by the Internet. That's the kind of business I like.
Warren Buffett
One of the ironies of the stock market is the emphasis on activity. Brokers, using terms such as 'marketability' and 'liquidity,' sing the praises of companies with high share turnover... but investors should understand that what is good for the croupier is not good for the customer. A hyperactive stock market is the pick pocket of enterprise.
Warren Buffett
The best thing that happens to us is when a great company gets into temporary trouble...We want to buy them when they're on the operating table.
Warren Buffett
The greatest Enemies of the Equity investor are Expenses and Emotions.
Warren Buffett
