Investors have very short memories.

I swore I was going to exclusively collect
assets and not liabilities for the rest
of my life. I swore never to take gambles
I couldn’t back up, or that I couldn’t
afford to lose. And, I’ve stuck with
that ever since.

I don't think the market can keep going
up. In the U.S., we see real estate not
going up.. houses are selling at lower prices.
You can't have anything going up 10 percent
to 20 percent to 30 percent indefinitely.

Why not invest your assets in the companies
you really like? As Mae West said, "Too

We simply attempt to be fearful when others

I'm a firm believer that to really understand
a business takes years, not months. As an
investment analyst you think you understand
a business from the outside, but the reality
is that, once you are inside, you can go
on learning for five or ten years.

I'd always had a childhood ambition to go
into the investment capital business, and
spent twenty-odd years in it. But the thought
of spending the second half of my career
in the same business was boring, so I looked
around for other opportunities.

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.

Picking the right stocks is one of the hardest

I rarely think the market is right. I believe
non dividend stocks aren’t much more
than baseball cards. They are worth what
you can convince someone to pay for it.

Wall Street people learn nothing and forget

Most of the time common stocks are subject
to irrational and excessive price fluctuations
in both directions as the consequence of
the ingrained tendency of most people to
speculate or gamble... to give way to hope,
fear and greed.

The individual investor should act consistently
as an investor and not as a speculator.
This means.. that he should be able to justify
every purchase he makes and each price he
pays by impersonal, objective reasoning
that satisfies him that he is getting more
than his money's worth for his purchase.

I am no longer an advocate of elaborate
techniques of security analysis in order

It has been my experience that competency
in mathematics, both in numerical manipulations
and in understanding its conceptual foundations,
enhances a person's ability to handle the
more ambiguous and qualitative relationships
that dominate our day-to-day financial decision-making

The Internet doesn't change everything.
It doesn't change supply and demand. It
doesn't magically allow you to build businesses
by turning investors' money into operating
expenses indefinitely. The money always
runs out eventually.. the Internet doesn't
change that, as we have seen.
Andrew

The boom was healthy too, even with its
excesses. Because what this incredible valuation
craze did was draw untold sums of billions
of dollars into building the Internet infrastructure.
The hundreds of billions of dollars that
got invested in telecommunications, for
example.

People ought to invest in us because they
like our company and the way they run it.
We still do quarterly earnings guidance,
but we tell people openly that they ought
to look at the company for the long term
and that's how they ought to invest.

I have a problem with too much money. I
can't reinvest it fast enough, and because
I reinvest it, more money comes in. Yes,

We go to school to learn to work hard for

Our industry expertise (at KKR) enables
the firm not only to make better investment
choices but also to win the confidence of
senior management and sellers, which has

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.
Jesse

The price pattern reminds you that every
movement of importance is but a repetition
of similar price movements, that just as
soon as you can familiarize yourself with
the actions of the past, you will be able
to anticipate and act correctly and profitably
upon forthcoming movements.
Jesse
Livermore - Stock

I never hesitate to tell a man that I am
bullish or bearish. But I do not tell people
to buy or sell any particular stock. In
a bear market all stocks go down and in
a bull market they go up.

You get recessions, you have stock market
declines. If you don't understand that's

In this business if you're good, you're

I've found that when the market's going
down and you buy funds wisely, at some point
in the future you will be happy. You won't
get there by reading 'Now is the time to
buy.'

I do not believe maximizing profits for
the investors is the only acceptable justification
for all corporate actions. The investors
are not the only people who matter. Corporations
can exist for purposes other than simply
maximizing profits.

You had a lot of novice investors who got
into the market looking for easy money,
without any regard to the fundamentals.
These stocks were running on fumes. (Madoff

The person that is buying a share of stock
is convinced he knows something that the

You just have to be opportunistic, and try
to figure out what creates value.. where
the bottom is, what creates incremental
value, and in what combinations.
John

The fact that equities are being sold down,
despite the lowest interest rates in recent
history, simply means that the market doesn't
see growth ahead for very many businesses.

Recently somebody said, "Hey, you lost
weight," and I said, "Yeah, thirty-five

So I'm quite a bit lighter and more flexible

In financing growing companies, we always

If you took our top fifteen decisions out,
we’d have a pretty average record.
It wasn’t hyperactivity, but a hell

you pounced on them with vigor

As with all politically lead governments,
foreign investment is the slowest in the

At the time we acquired Viacom, everyone
said I had overpaid. But even at today's

There are no rules about investment. Sharks

Nobody can give you advice after you've
been collecting for a while. If you don't

The financial markets generally are unpredictable.
So that one has to have different scenarios..
The idea that you can actually predict what's

The question is not do you take money out
