More quotes by Warren Buffett
Only when the tide goes out do you discover who's been swimming naked.
Warren Buffett
Lethargy bordering on sloth remains the cornerstone of our investment style. The exception was Wells Fargo, a superbly-managed, high-return banking operation in which we increased our ownership to just under 10%, the most we can own without the approval of the Federal Reserve Board.
Warren Buffett
If you want to shoot rare, fast-moving elephants, you should always carry a loaded gun.
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
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
Traditional wisdom is long on tradition and short on wisdom.
Warren Buffett
Tell me your heroes and I'll tell you how your life will end up
Warren Buffett
Most people get interested in stocks when everyone else is. The time to get interested is when no one else is. You can't buy what is popular and do well.
Warren Buffett
Outstanding long-term results are produced primarily by avoiding dumb decisions, rather than by making brilliant ones.
Warren Buffett
The rich invest in time, the poor invest in money.
Warren Buffett
Anything can happen anytime in markets. And no advisor, economist, or TV commentator-and definitely not Charlie nor I-can tell you when chaos will occur. Market forecasters will fill your ear but will never fill your wallet.
Warren Buffett
Turnarounds seldom turn.
Warren Buffett
A very rich person should leave his kids enough to do anything, but not enough to do nothing.
Warren Buffett
If you gave me $100 billion and said take away the soft drink leadership of Coca-Cola in the world, I'd give it back to you and say it can't be done.
Warren Buffett
Buy into a company because you want to own it, not because you want the stock to go up.
Warren Buffett
The key to life is to figure out who to be the batboy for.
Warren Buffett
The most dangerous distractions are the ones you love, but that don’t love you back.
Warren Buffett
I spend twelve hours a week - a little over 10% of my waking hours - playing the game. Now I am trying to figure out how to get by on less sleep in order to fit in a few more hands.
Warren Buffett
Games are won by players who focus on the playing field -- not by those whose eyes are glued to the scoreboard.
Warren Buffett
Banking is very good business if you don't do anything dumb.
Warren Buffett
