10 great quotes from Warren Buffett

Warren Buffett is undoubtedly a source of inspiration for all value investors in the world.

At Oportunidades en Bolsa we feel very identified with Warren Buffett because we follow an investment philosophy very similar to the one he has followed for more than 50 years.

His extraordinary results together with his good sense as an investor make his words always an interesting read to improve as investors.

We leave you with ten exemplary phrases from the best investor in history:

  1. The price is what you pay. Value is what you get.
  2. When we own outstanding business portions with outstanding managements, our favorite waiting period is forever.
  3. You buy a company because you want to own it, not because you want the stock to go up.
  4. Never invest in a business that you cannot understand.
  5. Generalized fear is your friend as an investor because it serves to buy bargains.
  6. We simply try to be afraid when others are greedy and to be greedy only when others are afraid.
  7. If you’re not willing to own a stock for ten years, don’t even think about owning it for ten minutes.
  8. Wall Street is the only place people travel in a Rolls Royce (LON 🙂 to get advice from those who take the subway.
  9. The best opportunity to deploy capital is when things are going down.
  10. What we learn from history is that people do not learn from history.
