Warren Buffett
Investment philosophy is the clear understanding that by owning shares of stocks he owns businesses, not pieces of paper.
Warren Buffett
I have always cautioned partners that I considered three years a minimum in determining whether we were performing.
Warren Buffett
Outstanding long-term results are produced primarily by avoiding dumb decisions, rather than by making brilliant ones.
