More quotes by Warren Buffett
If you buy things you do not need, soon you will have to sell things you need.
Warren Buffett
Our future rates of gain will fall far short of those achieved in the past. Berkshire's capital base is now simply too large to allow us to earn truly outsized returns. If you believe otherwise, you should consider a career in sales but avoid one in mathematics.
Warren Buffett
I just don't see anything available that gives any reasonable hope of delivering such a good year and I have no desire to grope around, hoping to 'get lucky' with other people's money. I am not attuned to this market environment, and I don't want to spoil a decent record by trying to play a game I don't understand just so I can go out a hero.
Warren Buffett
Energy deregulation will be the largest transfer of wealth in history.
Warren Buffett
In a difficult business, no sooner is one problem solved than another surfaces - never is there just one cockroach in the kitchen.
Warren Buffett
A Company should be viewed as an unfolding movie, not as a still photograph
Warren Buffett
You have to understand accounting and you have to understand the nuances of accounting. It's the language of business and it's an imperfect language, but unless you are willing to put in the effort to learn accounting - how to read and interpret financial statements - you really shouldn't select stocks yourself
Warren Buffett
If the reason for doing something is that everyone else is doing it, it's not a good enough reason.
Warren Buffett
I have no idea on timing. It’s easier to tell what will happen than when it will happen. I would say that what is going on in terms of trade policy is going to have very important consequences.
Warren Buffett
At this point, when treasury bills, seven day treasury bills at 1/20th of one percent, it's not because people want to earn 1/20th of one percent, it's because they trust the fact the treasury will give it back to them next week.
Warren Buffett
Investors should remember that excitement and expenses are their enemies. And if they insist on trying to time their participation in equities, they should try to be fearful when others are greedy and greedy only when others are fearful.
Warren Buffett
Things you like to do should be a hobby of yours, but things the world does should be a business of yours.
Warren Buffett
The patient that's on the floor with the cardiac arrest is not Wall Street. It's the American economy.
Warren Buffett
What could be more advantageous in an intellectual contest - whether it be chess, bridge, or stock selection - than to have opponents who have been taught that thinking is a waste of energy?
Warren Buffett
Turnarounds seldom turn.
Warren Buffett
You should be unconcerned about short-term price action when you own the securities directly, just as you were unconcerned when you owned them indirectly through BPL. I think about them as businesses, not stocks, and if the business does all right over the long term, so will the stock.
Warren Buffett
Credit worthiness is like virginity, it can be preserved but not restored very easily, so it is crazy to play around with it.
Warren Buffett
I'm always interested in understanding the math of things and understanding as much as I can about all aspects of business. And what I learn today may be useful to me two years from now. That's really the wonderful thing about investments is your knowledge is cumulative.
Warren Buffett
I have three boxes on my desk: In, Out, and Too Hard.
Warren Buffett
I always invest in companies an idiot could run, because one day one will.
Warren Buffett
