I have three boxes on my desk: In, Out, and Too Hard.
Warren Buffett
Image
In an inflationary world, a toll bridge (like company) would be a great thing to own because you've laid out the capital costs. You built it in old dollars and you don't have to keep replacing it.

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.

Does management resist the institutional imperative?
Warren Buffett
Image
It is impossible to unsign a contract, so do all your thinking before you sign.
Warren Buffett
Image
We make investment decisions based on our evaluation of the most profitable combination of probabilities.

I buy expensive suits - they just look cheap on me.
Warren Buffett
Image
If I taught a class, on my final exam I would take an Internet company and ask, 'How much is this company worth?' Anyone who would answer, I would flunk.
Warren Buffett
Image
With each investment you make, you should have the courage and the conviction to place at least ten per cent of your net worth in that stock
Warren Buffett
Image
We look for things I can understand. A lot of businesses I don't understand.
Warren Buffett
Image
You are neither right nor wrong because the crowd disagrees with you.

Never invest in a business you can't understand
