More quotes by Warren Buffett
You're dealing with a lot of silly people in the marketplace it's like a great big casino and everyone else is boozing. If you can stick with Pepsi, you should be OK.
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.
Warren Buffett
In a bull market, one must avoid the error of the preening duck that quacks boastfully after a torrential rainstorm, thinking that its paddling skills have caused it to rise in the world. A right-thinking duck would instead compare its position after the downpour to that of the other ducks on the pond.
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
Gold is a way of going long on fear, and it has been a pretty good way of going long on fear from time to time. But you really have to hope people become more afraid in a year or two years than they are now. And if they become more afraid you make money, if they become less afraid you lose money, but the gold itself doesn’t produce anything.
Warren Buffett
Never invest in a business you don't understand.
Warren Buffett
If you do smart things and use leverage and do one wrong thing along the way, it could wipe you out, because anything times zero is zero. But it's reinforcing when the people around you are doing it successfully, you're doing it successfully, and it's a lot like Cinderella at the ball.
Warren Buffett
The ability to say no is a tremendous advantage for an investor.
Warren Buffett
I am not worried about the country. I'm just worried about anything that gums up the potential of the country. And right now, it's pretty gummed up.
Warren Buffett
Why not invest your assets in the companies you really like? As Mae West said, 'Too much of a good thing can be wonderful'.
Warren Buffett
We really can say no in 10 seconds or so to 90%+ of all the things that come along simply because we have these filters.
Warren Buffett
The power of unconditional love. I mean, there is no power on earth like unconditional love.
Warren Buffett
There is seldom just one cockroach in the kitchen. You know, you turn on the light and, all of sudden, they all start scurrying around.
Warren Buffett
The ideal business is one that earns very high returns on capital and that keeps using lots of capital at those high returns. That becomes a compounding machine.
Warren Buffett
Of the billionaires I have known, money just brings out the basic traits in them. If they were jerks before they had money, they are simply jerks with a billion dollars.
Warren Buffett
Trust is like the air we breathe--when it's present, nobody really notices when it's absent, everybody notices.
Warren Buffett
If you have more than 120 or 130 I.Q. points, you can afford to give the rest away. You don't need extraordinary intelligence to succeed as an investor.
Warren Buffett
You get in a lot of trouble when you start putting fictitious numbers.
Warren Buffett
You can't make a good deal with a bad person.
Warren Buffett
The reaction of weak management to weak operations is often weak accounting.
