Warren Buffett
I never buy anything unless I can fill out on a piece of paper my reasons. I may be wrong, but I would know the answer to that ...I'm paying $32 billion today for the Coca Cola Company because... If you can't answer that question, you shouldn't buy it. If you can answer that question, and you do it a few times, you'll make a lot of money.
Warren Buffett
The stockmarket is a semi-psychotic creature given to extremes of elation and despair.
Warren Buffett
An irresistable footnote: in 1971, pension fund managers invested a record 122% of net funds available in equities - at full prices they couldn't buy enough of them. In 1974, after the bottom had fallen out, they committed a then record low of 21% to stocks.
Warren Buffett
We do not have, nor have had, and never will have an opinion about where the stock market, interest rates, or business activity will be a year from now.
Warren Buffett
