“Buy into a company because you want to own it, not because you want the stock to go up.”
Warren Buffett (1930) American business magnate, investor, and philanthropist
Interview in Forbes magazine (1 November 1974)
Context: Draw a circle around the businesses you understand and then eliminate those that fail to qualify on the basis of value, good management and limited exposure to hard times. … Buy into a company because you want to own it, not because you want the stock to go up. … People have been successful investors because they've stuck with successful companies. Sooner or later the market mirrors the business.
Bono (1960) Irish rock musician, singer of U2
"Where the streets have no name"
Lyrics, The Joshua Tree (1987)
