More quotes by Warren Buffett
Our marketable equities tell us by their operating results - not by their daily, or even yearly, price quotations - whether our investments are successful. The market may ignore business success for a while, but eventually will confirm it.
Warren Buffett
If anything, taxes for the lower and middle class and maybe even the upper-middle class should even probably be cut further. But I think that people at the high end - people like myself - should be paying a lot more in taxes. We have it better than we've ever had it.
Warren Buffett

Warren Buffett

House prices just soared beyond - beyond reason in many places and they got financed in silly ways, and people lied about loans, all kinds of accesses entered into it. But that is what - that is the single biggest cause of why we're here.
Warren Buffett
It's got to be the best intellectual exercise out there. You're seeing through new situations every ten minutes. In the stock market you don't base your decisions on what the market is doing, but on what you think is rational. Bridge is about weighing gain/loss ratios. You're doing calculations all the time.
Warren Buffett
It's a nightmare to administer some of this sort of thing, but I want to tell the shareholders of Berkshire, to the percent we own marketable securities or things for which there are market, even if those markets - I want to tell them what it's all about.
Warren Buffett
There is no perfect mathematical formula for pricing a business.
Warren Buffett
Buy into a company because you want to own it, not because you want the stock to go up.
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
We set no volume goals in our insurance business generally-and certainly not in reinsurance-as virtually any volume can be achieved if profitability standards are ignored.
Warren Buffett
The most important investment you can make is in yourself... nobody can tax it or take it away from you.
Warren Buffett
The greatest Enemies of the Equity investor are Expenses and Emotions.
Warren Buffett
The plan itself is opportunism. There is no plan before that.
Warren Buffett
In a difficult business, no sooner is one problem solved than another surfaces - never is there just one cockroach in the kitchen.
