"Much success can be attributed to inactivity. Most investors cannot resist the temptation to constantly buy and sell."

Previous Quote

The most common cause of low prices is pessimism - some times pervasive, some times specific to a company or industry. We want to do business in such an environment, not because we like pessimism but because we like the prices it produces. It's optimism that is the enemy of the rational buyer.

— Warren Buffett
