Warren Buffett
I put heavy weight on certainty. It's not risky to buy securities at a fraction of what they're worth.
Warren Buffett
When the brothel burns down, even the pretty girls have to run out.
Warren Buffett
An irresistable footnote: in 1971, pension fund managers invested a record 122% of net funds available in equities - at full prices they couldn't buy enough of them. In 1974, after the bottom had fallen out, they committed a then record low of 21% to stocks.
Warren Buffett
Buy a cross section of American industry, and if a cross section of American industry doesn't work, certainly trying to pick the little beauties here and there isn't going to work either.
Warren Buffett
