More quotes by Warren Buffett
If you get to my age in life and nobody thinks well of you, I don't care how big your bank account is, your life is a disaster.
Warren Buffett
If you've got a good enough business, if you have a monopoly newspaper, if you have a network television station - I'm talking of the past - you know, your idiot nephew could run it. And if you've got a really good business, it doesn't make any difference.
Warren Buffett
If you expect to continue to purchase stocks throughout your life, you should welcome price declines as a way to add stocks more cheaply to your portfolio.
Warren Buffett
Look for companies with high profit margins.
Warren Buffett
If you're in a card game and you can't figure out who the patsy is, you're it.
Warren Buffett
Life is like a snowball. The important thing is finding wet snow and a really long hill.
Warren Buffett
Diversification is protection against ignorance. It makes little sense if you know what you are doing.
Warren Buffett
Exercise humility and restraint.
Warren Buffett
I buy expensive suits - they just look cheap on me.
Warren Buffett
Invest in as much of yourself as you can, you are your own biggest asset by far.
Warren Buffett
It's class warfare, my class is winning, but they shouldn't be.
Warren Buffett
Does the business have a consistent operating history?
Warren Buffett
It will be good for us in the long run, and I mean there are, you know, six and a half billion people in this world. And it's great for 300 million to keep enjoying more and more property, but I think it's terrific if, you know, the remainder do.
Warren Buffett
Truly conservative actions arise from intelligent hypotheses, correct facts and sound reasoning.
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
Buy companies with strong histories of profitability and with a dominant business franchise.
Warren Buffett
It irritates the hell out of me but you can't buy love.
Warren Buffett
I have worked with investors for 60 years and I have yet to see anyone - not even when capital gains rates were 39.9 percent in 1976-77 - shy away from a sensible investment because of the tax rate on the potential gain.
Warren Buffett
Investors should remember that excitement and expenses are their enemies.
Warren Buffett
There are three kinds of people: 1. Innovators. 2. Imitators. 3. Idiots.
