1990s

????April 22, 1991: Buffett buys junk

????"There are a lot of things I wish I'd done in hindsight. But I don't think much of hindsight generally in terms of investment decisions. You only get paid for what you do."

????Jan. 10, 1994: Now hear this

????March 20, 1995: Untangling the derivatives mess

????Feb. 5, 1996: Gates on Buffett

????"You should invest in a business that even a fool can run, because someday a fool will."

????"I think it's hard to come up with a persuasive case that equities over the next 17 years will perform anything like -- anything like -- they've performed in the past 17.
