"Beware of geeks bearing formulas."—Warren Buffet
LOL. Warren BUffet is just a man of below average intelligence who used the retard-method of investment- buying stocks then waiting decades for long term growth. Why have money later, when you can have money now? If Warren "Old Fart" Buffet was truly smart, he'd use quantitative methods. His shitty "wait-n-see" method can be easily replicated, and what's the fun in that; if non Wall Streeters can use your strategy?

I arise in the morning torn
I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world. This makes it hard to plan the day.

In the lexicon of youth, which fate reserves for a bright manhood, there is no such word As fail.
My mother said to me, "If you become a soldier, you'll be a general, if you become a monk you'll end up as the pope." Instead, I became a painter and wound up as Picasso.

I would so much rather be John Merriwether than Warren Buffett
I would be Warren Buffet- but just not BE him (e.g. not live in the same shitty house since '58, eating cheap burgers with cherry coke)
If I was him I'd use my stake in goldman to be around some of the best people in finance and know that Im better than all of them. Maybe leisurely tour the gs trading floor throwing insults left and right and then eventually retiring to a plush office near blankfein where I can let my hos do their work.
That's pretty good

This is a monologue rather
This is a monologue rather then a quote but I think about it time to time:
"It's harder to make $200-300k than it is to make $10 million. Think about it--nearly everyone is competing for those mid-level executive jobs; you've got competition from some of the most intelligent people in the business world, who went to the top schools, have the top grades, have the best credentials, and many of these people are absolutely dedicated to otherwise mundane jobs and industries. But look at me--I'm an average guy of average intelligence, I had some simple ideas that I pursued, I worked hard, and here I am today. It's the first $1 million that is hard to make--after that, for most people, it starts to flow--money begats money."
Excellence can be attained
Excellence can be attained if you care more than others think is wise, risk more than others think is safe, dream more than others think is practical, and expect more than others think is possible.
Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.
I can accept anything, except what seems to be the easiest for most people: the half-way, the almost, the just-about, the in-between.
Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplacable spark. In the hopeless swamps of the not quite, the not yet, and the not at all, do not let the hero in your soul perish and leave only frustration for the life you deserved, but never have been able to reach. The world you desire can be won, it exists, it is real, it is possible, it is yours.
Only a man who knows what it is like to be defeated can reach down to the bottom of his soul and come up with the extra ounce of power it takes to win.

Part of the $10 million I
Part of the $10 million I spent on gambling, part on booze and part on women. The rest I spent foolishly.
George Best
Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb.
