Other guys read Playboy. I read annual reports.
Warren Buffett

When you build a bridge, you insist that it can carry 30,000 pounds, but you only drive 10,000-pound trucks across it. And that same principle works in investing.
Warren Buffett
Image
Banking is very good business if you don't do anything dumb.
Warren Buffett
Image
Time is your friend, impulse is your enemy. Take advantage of compound interest and don't be captivated by the siren song of the market.
Warren Buffett
Image
We don't have to be smarter than the rest. We have to be more disciplined than the rest.
Warren Buffett
Image
We have usually made our best purchases when apprehensions about some macro event were at a peak. Fear is the foe of the faddist, but the friend of the fundamentalist.
Warren Buffett

I would push purchasing power - you push out $1,000 of purchasing to those people, it's going to get - it's going to get spent. And it needs to be spent. They need it. And it should come, to some extent, from guys like me.

For some reason, people take their cues from price action rather than from values. What doesn't work is when you start doing things that you don't understand or because they worked last week for somebody else. The dumbest reason in the world to buy a stock is because it's going up.

If you've got the power to raise prices without losing business to a competitor, you've got a very good business. And if you have to have a prayer session before raising the price by a tenth of a cent, then you've got a terrible business. I've been in both, and I know the difference.

We're perfectly willing to trade away a big payoff for a certain payoff.

The advice you never go broke taking a profit is foolish.
Warren Buffett
Image
I bought a company in the mid-90s called Dexter Shoe and paid $400 million for it. And it went to zero. And I gave about $400 million worth of Berkshire stock, which is probably now worth $400 billion. But I've made lots of dumb decisions. That's part of the game.

We've got a wonderful economic formula in this country.
Warren Buffett
Image
I did not think I would see the day when, you know, an AIG would not be able to have its checks clear.
Warren Buffett

You get what I call the natural progression, the three Is. The innovators, the imitators, and the idiots.

If you don't know jewelry, know the jeweler.

My father was the best person i've ever known.

Does the business have a consistent operating history?
Warren Buffett

The financial calculus that Charlie and I employ would never permit our trading a good night's sleep for a shot at a few extra percentage points of return. I've never believed in risking what my friends and family have and need in order to pursue what they don't have and don't need.

Having first rate people on the team is more important than designing hierarchies and clarifying who reports to whom.
