More quotes by Warren Buffett
It makes a difference who the treasury secretary is.
Warren Buffett
Knowing the edge of your competency is important. If you think you know more than you do, you will get in trouble.
Warren Buffett
The obligation of a society as prosperous as ours is to figure out how nobody gets left too far behind.
Warren Buffett
If the world couldn't see your results, would you rather be thought of as the world's greatest investor but in reality have the world's worst record? Or be thought of as the world's worst investor when you were actually the best?
Warren Buffett
The truth is, everything that has happened in my life... that I thought was a crushing event at the time, has turned out for the better.
Warren Buffett
Investing is laying out money now to get more money back in the future.
Warren Buffett
Investors should be skeptical of history-based models. Constructed by a nerdy-sounding priesthood using esoteric terms such as beta, gamma, sigma and the like, these models tend to look impressive. Too often, though, investors forget to examine the assumptions behind the models. Beware of geeks bearing formulas.
Warren Buffett
Asking for financial advice from a financial planner is like asking a barber if you need a hair cut.
Warren Buffett
An investor should ordinarily hold a small piece of an outstanding business with the same tenacity that an owner would exhibit if he owned all of that business.
Warren Buffett
Investors have to remember: corporate profits are going up, but stocks are going up faster. How can that continue indefinitely? Investors can only earn what companies themselves can earn the government or the markets themselves don't kick anything in. How can you get anything more out of a farm than what it grows?
Warren Buffett
To win, the first thing you have to do is not lose.
Warren Buffett
Don't risk what is important to you, to get what is not important to you.
Warren Buffett
I can't promise results, but I can promise a common destiny.
Warren Buffett
The patient that's on the floor with the cardiac arrest is not Wall Street. It's the American economy.
Warren Buffett
I am not in the business of predicting general stock market of business fluctuations. If you think I can do this, or think it is essential to an investment program, you should not be in the partnership.
Warren Buffett
I have always cautioned partners that I considered three years a minimum in determining whether we were performing.
Warren Buffett
I think any time you couple the term Wall Street with bailout or something like that, you know - I don't like what's going on in Wall Street.
Warren Buffett
I'll tell you why I like the cigarette business. It cost a penny to make. Sell it for a dollar. It's addictive. And there's a fantastic brand loyalty.
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
If you want to shoot rare, fast-moving elephants, you should always carry a loaded gun.
Warren Buffett
