Be fearful when there is greed and be greedy when there is fear.

Long ago, Ben Graham taught me that "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.

Never be afraid to ask for too much when selling or offer too little when buying.

I think the worst mistake you can make in stocks is to buy or sell based on current headlines.

The most important investment you can make is in yourself... nobody can tax it or take it away from you.

At age 19, I read a book [The Intelligent Investor] and what I'm doing today, at age 76, is running things through the same thought process I learned from the book I read at 19.
