More quotes by Warren Buffett
We need to throw the resources at this that are necessary. But like I say, we are not spending money. I mean, if we buy these assets intelligently, the United States Treasury will make money. I mean, it's borrowing money. It's just a few percent a year.
Warren Buffett
Does the business have a consistent operating history?
Warren Buffett
The reaction of weak management to weak operations is often weak accounting.
Warren Buffett
It isn't given to man to be able to run a financial institution where different interest-rate scenarios will prevail on all of that so as to produce kind of smooth, regular earnings from a very large base to start with.
Warren Buffett
If you do smart things and use leverage and do one wrong thing along the way, it could wipe you out, because anything times zero is zero. But it's reinforcing when the people around you are doing it successfully, you're doing it successfully, and it's a lot like Cinderella at the ball.
Warren Buffett
Part of making good decisions in business is recognizing the poor decisions you've made and why they were poor. I've made lots of mistakes. I'm going to make more. It's the name of the game. You don't want to expect perfection in yourself. You want to strive to do your best. It's too demanding to expect perfection in yourself.
Warren Buffett
You get what I call the natural progression, the three Is. The innovators, the imitators, and the idiots.
Warren Buffett
The American economy is going to do fine. But it won't do fine every year and every week and every month. I mean, if you don't believe that, forget about buying stocks anyway... It's a positive-sum game, long term. And the only way an investor can get killed is by high fees or by trying to outsmart the market.
Warren Buffett
In other words, the percentage change in book value in any given year is likely to be reasonably close to that year's change in intrinsic value.
Warren Buffett
In our view, derivatives are financial weapons of mass destruction carrying dangers that, while latent, are potentially lethal.
Warren Buffett
The Happiest people DO NOT necessarily have the BEST THINGS. They simply APPRECIATE the things they have.
Warren Buffett
When people tell me they've learned from experience, I tell them the trick is to learn from other people's experience.
Warren Buffett
I would say that an RFC-like thing might make sense. I probably would do it myself. But I don't think trying to combine that with what's going through now, I think what is needed now is liquidity.
Warren Buffett
Government can't deliver a free lunch to the country as a whole. It can, however, determine who pays for lunch. And last week the Senate handed the bill to the wrong party... the poor and middle class.
Warren Buffett
Derivatives are like sex. It's not who we're sleeping with, it's who they're sleeping with that's the problem.
Warren Buffett
I've made money over the years by buying into good companies, run by good people, at attractive prices. And I don't try and make it out of buying into the market at one point and selling at another point.
Warren Buffett
Managers thinking about accounting issues should never forget one of Abraham Lincoln's favorite riddles: How many legs does a dog have, if you call a tail a leg? The answer: Four, because calling a tail a leg doesn't make it a leg.
Warren Buffett
It's never paid to bet against America. We come through things, but its not always a smooth ride.
Warren Buffett
Stocks of companies selling commodity-like products should come with a warning label: Competition may prove hazardous to human wealth.
Warren Buffett
If knowing history made you rich, librarians would be billionaires.
