Warren Buffett

Warren Buffett
Image
I never invest in anything that I don't understand.
Warren Buffett
Image
Most business mistakes are irreversible setbacks, but you get another chance. There are two things in life that you don't get another chance at - marrying the wrong person and what you do with your children.
Warren Buffett

Remember that the stock market is manic-depressive.
Warren Buffett
Image
Beware [of] the investment activity that produces applause the great moves are usually greeted by yawns.
Warren Buffett
