52 quotes from Warren Buffett


Here are 52 quotes from Warren Buffett.
My favourites:
8. I never attempt to make money on the stock market. I buy on the assumption that they could close the market the next day and not reopen it for five years.
21. 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.
25. Only when the tide goes out do you discover who’s been swimming naked.
26. Our favorite holding period is forever.
30. Rule No.1: Never lose money. Rule No.2: Never forget rule No.1.

Forbes 400


Forbes has a new list of the 400 richest Americans. They have Bill Gates ahead of Warren Buffett by US$7 billion.
The minimum needed to make the list is $1.3 billion, which as chance has it is almost exactly one dollar for every person who lives in China.
