Wide diversification is only required when investors do not understand what they are doing
Quote by -Warren Buffet
Americans are in a cycle of fear which leads to people not wanting to spend and not wanting to make investments, and that leads to more fear. We'll break out of it. It takes time.
Quote by -Warren Buffet
I would say the most satisfying thing actually is watching my three children each pick up on their own interests and work many more hours per week than most people that have jobs at trying to intelligently give away that money in fields that they particularly care about.
Quote by -Warren Buffet
I think that both parties should declare the debt limit as a political weapon of mass destruction which can't be used. I mean, it is silly to have a country that has 237 years building up its reputation and then have people threaten to tear it down because they're not getting some other matter.
Quote by -Warren Buffet
I am a huge bull on this country. We will not have a double-dip recession at all. I see our businesses coming back almost across the board.
Quote by -Warren Buffet
I just think that - when a country needs more income and we do, we're only taking in 15 percent of GDP, I mean, that - that - when a country needs more income, they should get it from the people that have it.

Quote by -Warren Buffet
If anything, taxes for the lower and middle class and maybe even the upper middle class should even probably be cut further. But I think that people at the high end - people like myself - should be paying a lot more in taxes. We have it better than we've ever had it.
Quote by -Warren Buffet
Today people who hold cash equivalents feel comfortable. They shouldn't. They have opted for a terrible long-term asset, one that pays virtually nothing and is certain to depreciate in value.
Quote by -Warren Buffet
We're still in a recession. We're not gonna be out of it for a while, but we will get out.
Quote by -Warren Buffet
If you get to my age in life and nobody thinks well of you, I don't care how big your bank account is, your life is a disaster.
Quote by -Warren Buffet
I sent one e-mail in my life. I sent it to Jeff Raikes at Microsoft, and it ended up in court in Minneapolis, so I am one for one.
Quote by -Warren Buffet
There are 309 million people out there that are trying to improve their lot in life. And we've got a system that allows them to do it
Quote by -Warren Buffet
We always live in an uncertain world. What is certain is that the United States will go forward over time.

Quote by -Warren Buffet
"Diversification is a protection against ignorance. It makes very little sense for those who know what they're doing."
Quote by -Warren Buffet
We believe that a policy of portfolio concentration may well decrease risk if it raises, as it should, both the intensity with which an investor thinks about a business and the comfort-level he must feel with its economic characteristics before buying into it.
Quote by -Warren Buffet
"You only have to be able to evaluate companies within your circle of competence. The size of that circle is not very important; knowing its boundaries, however, is vital."
Quote by -Warren Buffet
"There is nothing wrong with a 'know nothing' investor who realizes it. The problem is when you are a 'know nothing' investor but you think you know something."
Quote by -Warren Buffet
Half of all coin-flippers will win their first toss; none of those winners has an expectation of profit if he continues to play the game.

Quote by -Warren Buffet
"You are neither right nor wrong because the crowd disagrees with you. You are right because your data and reasoning are right."
Quote by -Warren Buffet
"Don't get caught up with what other people are doing. Being a contrarian isn't the key but being a crowd follower isn't either. You need to detach yourself emotionally."
Quote by -Warren Buffet
"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."
Quote by -Warren Buffet
"We've long felt that the only value of stock forecasters is to make fortune tellers look good. Even now, Charlie and I continue to believe that short-term market forecasts are poison and should be kept locked up in a safe place, away from children and also from grown-ups who behave in the market like children."
Quote by -Warren Buffet
"In the 20th century, the United States endured two world wars and other traumatic and expensive military conflicts; the Depression; a dozen or so recessions and financial panics; oil shocks; a flu epidemic; and the resignation of a disgraced president. Yet the Dow rose from 66 to 11,497."
Quote by -Warren Buffet

Quote by -Warren Buffet
"Read 500 pages like this every day. That's how knowledge works. It builds up, like compound interest. All of you can do it, but I guarantee not many of you will do it."
Quote by -Warren Buffet

Quote by -Warren Buffet
"One thing that could help would be to write down the reason you are buying a stock before your purchase. Write down "I am buying Microsoft at $300 billion because..." Force yourself to write this down. It clarifies your mind and discipline."
Quote by -Warren Buffet
"We want products where people feel like kissing you instead of slapping you."
