The stock market clearly values companies that can deliver disruptive innovation.

One of the very nice things about investing in the stock market is that you learn about all different aspects of the economy. It's your window into a very large world.

In essence, the stock market represents three separate categories of business.They are, adjusted for inflation, those with shrinking intrinsic value, those with approximately stable intrinsic value, and those with steadily growing intrinsic value.

The stock market to me was like a video game. When it went off, it was like turning the game off. It wasn't something I'd think about until I'd turn the machine on again.

If you want to know where the stock market is headed, forget about consumer spending and retail sales figures. Look to business spending, price inflation, interest rates, and productivity gains.

I never attempt to make money on the stock market. I buy on the assumption that they could close the market the next day and not reopen it for five years.

If we take care of the business and keep our eye on the goal line, the stock price will take care of itself.
