To understand KKR, I always like to say, don't congratulate us when we buy
a company. Any fool can buy a company. Congratulate us when we sell it and when
we've done something with it and created real value.

and networks to compete effectively with the large complex companies that we seek
to acquire.

If you don't have integrity, you have nothing. You can't buy it. You can have

When I'm bearish and I sell a stock, each sale must be at a lower level than the
previous sale. When I am buying, the reverse is true. I must buy on a rising scale.
I don’t buy long stocks on a scale down, I buy on a scale up.

The average man doesn’t wish to be told that it is a bull or a bear
market. What he desires is to be told specifically which particular stock to buy
or sell. He wants to get something for nothing. He does not wish to work. He doesn’t
even wish to have to think.

When stocks are attractive, you buy them. Sure, they can go lower. I've bought
stocks at $12 that went to $2, but then they later went to $30. You just don't
know when you can find the bottom.

I think one of the most misunderstood things about business in America is
that people are either doing things for altruistic reasons or they are greedy
and selfish, just after profit. That type of dichotomy portrays a false image
of business. It certainly is a false image of Whole Foods. The whole idea is to
do both: The animals have to flourish, but in such a way that it'll be cheap enough
for the customers to buy it.

At the time we acquired Viacom, everyone said I had overpaid. But even at
today's depressed prices, that investment is worth billions. Everyone was saying

Business
is not financial science, it's about trading.. buying and selling. It's about

When somebody buys a stock it's because they think it's going to go
up and the person who sold it to them thinks it's going to go down. Somebody's
wrong.

In my case, if one out of five opportunities
is interesting enough to work on, maybe
one in five of those ends up being worth
doing. That might be a function of risk.
That might be a function of price. There
are all the variables. But you have to be
constantly sorting and choosing and prioritizing.
