It's very important that the determination of the US Congress to do what is is needed be made evident this week and by the actions of most of the members. I mean, you're not going to get total assent.
Warren Buffett
Image
For some reason, people take their cues from price action rather than from values. What doesn't work is when you start doing things that you don't understand or because they worked last week for somebody else. The dumbest reason in the world to buy a stock is because it's going up.

Warren Buffett
Image
The 19th century belonged to England, the 20th century belonged to the U.S., and the 21st century belongs to China. Invest accordingly.
Warren Buffett
Image
Earnings can be pliable as putty when a charlatan heads the company reporting them.
Warren Buffett
Image
All but a few of the organizations do not specifically promise to deliver superior investment performance although it is perhaps not unreasonable for the public to draw such an inference from their advertised emphasis on professional management.
Warren Buffett
Image
You can be sure that over the next 10 years, you'll see something that you did not think was possible.
Warren Buffett
Image
There seems to be some perverse human characteristic that likes to make easy things difficult.
Warren Buffett
Image
What's hot today isn't likely to be hot tomorrow. The stock market reverts to fundamental returns over the long run. Don't follow the herd.
Warren Buffett
Image
The most common cause of low prices is pessimism - some times pervasive, some times specific to a company or industry. We want to do business in such an environment, not because we like pessimism but because we like the prices it produces. It's optimism that is the enemy of the rational buyer.
