More quotes by Warren Buffett
A lot of people disagree with me on this, I believe in mark to market.
Warren Buffett
I don't want to be on the other side of the table from the customer. I was never selling anything that I didn't believe in myself or use myself.
Warren Buffett
Most people get interested in stocks when everyone else is. The time to get interested is when no one else is. You can't buy what is popular and do well.
Warren Buffett
Money is not everything. Make sure you earn a lot before speaking such nonsense.
Warren Buffett
What you really want to do in investments is figure out what's important and knowable. If it's unimportant or unknowable you forget about it.
Warren Buffett
What we learn from history is that people don't learn from history.
Warren Buffett
In business, I look for economic castles protected by unbreachable 'moats'.
Warren Buffett
I mean, if Pearl Harbor came along, you could have said the planning was wrong by the military ahead of time or maybe the battleships shouldn't have all been in the harbor and all that kind of thing.
Warren Buffett
If you knew what was going to happen in the economy, you still wouldn't necessarily know what was going to happen in the stock market.
Warren Buffett
There are all kinds of businesses that Charlie and I don't understand, but that doesn't cause us to stay up at night. It just means we go on to the next one, and that's what the individual investor should do.
Warren Buffett
Most investors, both institutional and individual, will find that the best way to own common stocks (shares') is through an index fund that charges minimal fees. Those following this path are sure to beat the net results (after fees and expenses) of the great majority of investment professionals.
Warren Buffett
Asset values and earning power are the dominant factors affecting the valuation of a controlling interest in a business. Market price, which governs valuation of minority interest positions, is of little or no importance in valuing a controlling interest.
Warren Buffett
If you aren't willing to own a stock for ten years, don't even think about owning it for ten minutes. Put together a portfolio of companies whose aggregate earnings march upward over the years, and so also will the portfolio's market value.
Warren Buffett
Our approach is very much profiting from lack of change rather than from change. With Wrigley chewing gum, it's the lack of change that appeals to me. I don't think it is going to be hurt by the Internet. That's the kind of business I like.
Warren Buffett
I don't look to jump over 7-foot bars: I look around for 1-foot bars that I can step over.
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
When you build a bridge, you insist that it can carry 30,000 pounds, but you only drive 10,000-pound trucks across it. And that same principle works in investing.
Warren Buffett
I can't promise results, but I can promise a common destiny.
Warren Buffett
We're still in a recession. We're not gonna be out of it for a while, but we will get out.
Warren Buffett
I was lucky enough to be born in a time and place where society values my talent, and gave me a good education to develop that talent, and set up the laws and the finanical system to let me do what I love doing-and make a lot of money doing it. The least I can do is help pay for all that.
