“I look at companies as businesses, while Wall Street analysts look for quarterly earnings performance. I buy assets and potential productivity. Wall Street buys earnings, so they miss a lot of things that I see in certain situations.” “You learn in this business: If you want a friend, get a dog.”
 


Warren Buffett


Price is what you pay; value is what you get. Whether we’re talking about socks or stocks, I like buying quality merchandise when it is marked down.”   “The stock market is a no-called-strike game. You don’t have to swing at everything--you can wait for your pitch. The problem when you’re a money manager is that your fans keep yelling, ‘Swing, your bum!’”
 


George Soros

Eddie Lampert


 “This idea of anticipation is the key to investing and to business generally. You can’t wait for an opportunity to become obvious. You have to think, “Here’s what other people and companies have done under certain circumstances. Now, under these new circumstances, how is this management likely to behave?”  “If you’re unwilling to try new things and to fail and learn, you don’t have a shot.”
 


David Rubenstein


“Persist – don’t take no for an answer. If you’re happy to sit at your desk and do not take any risk, you’ll be sitting at your desk for the next 20 years.”

As long as you enjoy investing, you’ll be willing to do the homework and stay in the game. That’s why I try to make the show so entertaining, because if you aren’t interested, you’ll either miss the opportunity to make money in the market or not pay enough attention and end up losing your shirt.”
“I am doing my best to find it. I will find it before the public finds it. I will get out of it before it’s too late.”
 


Peter Thiel


“Value investors look at cash flows. If a company can maintain present cash flows for five or six years, it’s a good investment. Investors then just hope that those cash flows—and thus the company’s value—don’t decrease faster than they anticipate.”   “As an investor-entrepreneur, I’ve always tried to be contrarian, to go against the crowd, to identify opportunities in places where people are not looking.”
 


John  (Jack)  Bogle


“If you have trouble imagining a 20 percent loss in the stock market, you shouldn’t be in stocks.”
