More quotes by 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
I made my first investment at age eleven. I was wasting my life up until then.
Warren Buffett
It's easier to create money than to spend it.
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
Too often, executive compensation in the U.S. is ridiculously out of line with performance. That won't change, moreover, because the deck is stacked against investors when it comes to the CEO's pay.
Warren Buffett
A great investment opportunity occurs when a marvelous business encounters a one-time huge, but solvable problem.
Warren Buffett
They say the chains of habit are too light to be felt until they are too heavy to be broken. The chains you put around yourself now have enormous consequences as you go through life.
Warren Buffett
When Berkshire buys common stock, we approach the transaction as if we were buying into a private business.
Warren Buffett
I like to buy things I can understand. I do a lot of research on things.
Warren Buffett
One of the ironies of the stock market is the emphasis on activity. Brokers, using terms such as 'marketability' and 'liquidity,' sing the praises of companies with high share turnover... but investors should understand that what is good for the croupier is not good for the customer. A hyperactive stock market is the pick pocket of enterprise.
Warren Buffett
Only when you combine sound intellect with emotional discipline do you get rational behavior.
Warren Buffett
It's better to build than to buy if you can find the right people.
Warren Buffett
With housing it's something even more dramatic than that, because most people aspire to own their own home.If you really think that houses prices are going to go up next year and the year after, you feel if I don't buy it this year, I'm going to have to buy it next year.That's not true of an Internet stock. But it's true of a home.
Warren Buffett
... the best way to own common stocks is through an index fund.
Warren Buffett
Valuing a business is part art and part science.
Warren Buffett
It's far better to buy a wonderful company at a fair price than a fair company at a wonderful price.
Warren Buffett
Never invest in a business you can't understand
Warren Buffett
Asset-heavy businesses generally earn low rates of return - rates that often barely provide enough capital to fund the inflationary needs of the existing business, with nothing left over for real growth, for distribution to owners, or for acquisition of new businesses
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
A CEO's behavior has a huge impact on managers down the line.
