  • "You don't need to be an expert in order to achieve satisfactory investment returns." He shared this advice in his 2013 annual letter to his company's shareholders. "Keep things simple," he adds.
  • "Focus on the future productivity of the asset you are considering." Buffett also says, "[O]mniscience isn't necessary; you only need to understand the actions you undertake."
  • "Forming macro opinions or listening to the macro or market predictions of others is a waste of time. Indeed, it is dangerous because it may blur your vision of the facts that are truly important."
