Carl Icahn

“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

“I’m only rich because I know when I’m wrong…I basically have survived by recognizing my mistakes.”
“It’s not whether you’re right or wrong that’s important, but how much money you make when you’re right and how much you lose when you’re wrong.”

Benjamin Graham

“

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.” “Even the intelligent investor is likely to need considerable willpower to keep from following the crowd.”

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.”

Jim Cramer

“

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.”

Carlos Slim

“If you’re in business, you need to understand the environment. You need to have a vision of the future, and you need to know the past.”
