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.

More quotes by Warren Buffett
Only those who will be sellers of equities in the near future should be happy at seeing stocks rise. Prospective purchasers should much prefer sinking prices.
Warren Buffett
Time is the friend of the wonderful company, the enemy of the mediocre.
Warren Buffett
Today people who hold cash equivalents feel comfortable. They shouldn't. They have opted for a terrible long-term asset, one that pays virtually nothing and is certain to depreciate in value.
Warren Buffett
If I eat 2,700 calories a day, a quarter of that is Coca-Cola.
Warren Buffett
I have pledged - to you, the rating agencies and myself - to always run Berkshire with more than ample cash. We never want to count on the kindness of strangers in order to meet tomorrow's obligations. When forced to choose, I will not trade even a night's sleep for the chance of extra profits.
Warren Buffett
We simply attempt to be fearful when others are greedy and to be greedy only when others are fearful.
Warren Buffett
What we really want to do is buy businesses that we would be happy to own forever.
Warren Buffett
It's going to be tough because the economy is going to be getting worse for a while. And it might fall off a cliff if this doesn't pass. But nobody will ever know that if it does.
Warren Buffett
Everybody's got a different circle of competence. The important thing is not how big the circle is. The important thing is staying inside the circle.
Warren Buffett
I view derivatives as time bombs, both for the parties that deal in them and the economic system.
Warren Buffett
The truth is, everything that has happened in my life... that I thought was a crushing event at the time, has turned out for the better.
Warren Buffett
Americans are in a cycle of fear which leads to people not wanting to spend and not wanting to make investments, and that leads to more fear. We'll break out of it. It takes time.
Warren Buffett
Does the business have favourable long term prospects?
Warren Buffett
We have learned to turn out lots of goods and services, but we haven't learned as well how to have everybody share in the bounty. The obligation of a society as prosperous as ours is to figure out how nobody gets left too far behind.
Warren Buffett
Risk can be greatly reduced by concentrating on only a few holdings.
Warren Buffett
In some corner of the world they are probably still holding regular meetings of the Flat Earth Society. We derive no comfort because important people, vocal people, or great numbers of people agree with us. Nor do we derive comfort if they don't.
Warren Buffett
Focus on return on equity, not earnings per share.
Warren Buffett
Our goal is to find an outstanding business at a sensible price, not a mediocre business at a bargain price.
Warren Buffett
Asking for financial advice from a financial planner is like asking a barber if you need a hair cut.
Warren Buffett
No matter how great the talent or efforts, some things just take time.
Warren Buffett
