Buffett's Valuation Wisdom

References from Buffett's 60 years of letters

“Intrinsic value is the discounted value of the cash that can be taken out of a business during its remaining life. We use the risk-free rate as our discount rate.”

— 1992 Letter to Shareholders · Intrinsic Value

“Compound interest is the eighth wonder of the world. He who understands it, earns it.”

“Our favorite holding period is forever. When we own portions of outstanding businesses with outstanding managements, our preferred holding period is forever.”

— 1988 Letter to Shareholders · Long-term Holding

“Intrinsic value is an estimate rather than a precise figure. Two people looking at the same set of facts will almost inevitably come up with slightly different intrinsic value figures.”

— 1969 Letter to Shareholders · Intrinsic Value

“The three most important words in investing are: margin of safety. You don't try to buy businesses worth $100 million for $80 million.”

— 1969 Letter to Shareholders · Margin of Safety
