Warren Buffett Quotes About Waiting

• A cada burbuja le espera un alfiler. Y cuando ambas acaban por encontrarse, una nueva oleada de inversores aprende algunas lecciones muy antiguas: En primer lugar, muchos en Wall Street (una comunidad en la que no se valora el control de calidad) venderán a los inversores cualquier cosa que compren. En segundo lugar, la especulación es más peligrosa cuando parece más fácil.

• Intentamos ejercer una disciplina del tipo de Ted Williams. En su libro The Science of Hitting, Ted explica que dividió la zona de strike en 77 celdas, cada una del tamaño de una pelota de béisbol. Sabía que batear sólo a las bolas situadas en su "mejor" celda le permitiría batear a 0,400; batear a las bolas situadas en su "peor" lugar, la esquina exterior baja de la zona de strike, le reduciría a 0,230. En otras palabras, esperar al lanzamiento gordo significaría un viaje al Salón de la Fama; batear indiscriminadamente significaría un billete a las ligas menores.

• An argument is made that there are just too many question marks about the near future; wouldn't it be better to wait until things clear up a bit? You know the prose: "Maintain buying reserves until current uncertainties are resolved," etc. Before reaching for that crutch, face up to two unpleasant facts: The future is never clear and you pay a very high price for a cheery consensus. Uncertainty actually is the friend of the buyer of long-term values.

  Interview in "Forbes" Magazine, November 1, 1974.

• Investing is the greatest business in the world because you never have to swing. You stand at the plate; the pitcher throws you General Motors at 47! U.S. Steel at 39! And nobody calls a strike on you. There's no penalty except opportunity. All day you wait for the pitch you like; then, when the fielders are asleep, you step up and hit it.
