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.
Risk comes from not knowing what you're doing.
The greatest investment a young person can make is in their own education, in their own mind. Because money comes and goes. Relationships come and go. But what you learn once stays with you forever.
Honesty is a very expensive gift, Don't expect it from cheap people.
The best investment you can make, is an investment in yourself...The more you learn, the more you'll earn.
The rich are always going to say that, you know, just give us more money and we'll go out and spend more and then it will all trickle down to the rest of you. But that has not worked the last 10 years, and I hope the American public is catching on.
Cultivate curiosity and strive to become a little wiser every day.
You don't need to be an expert in order to achieve satisfactory investment returns. But if you aren't, you must recognize your limitations and follow a course certain to work reasonably well. Keep things simple and don't swing for the fences.
Derivatives are financial weapons of mass destruction.
Failure comes from ego, greed, envy, fear, imitation. I have success not because I am smart, but because I am rational.
Whether we’re talking about socks or stocks, I like buying quality merchandise when it is marked down.
If you buy things you do not need, soon you will have to sell things you need.
Of the billionaires I have known, money just brings out the basic traits in them. If they were jerks before they had money, they are simply jerks with a billion dollars.
We don't have to be smarter than the rest. We have to be more disciplined than the rest.
