• So smile when you read a headline that says "Investors lose as market falls." Edit it in your mind to "Disinvestors lose as market falls-but investors gain."

  Warren Buffett

• Investors have to remember: corporate profits are going up, but stocks are going up faster. How can that continue indefinitely?

  Warren Buffett

  9 Copy quote

• Too often, executive compensation in the U.S. is ridiculously out of line with performance. That won't change, moreover, because the deck is stacked against investors when it comes to the CEO's pay. The upshot is that a mediocre-or-worse CEO - aided by his handpicked VP of human relations and a consultant from the ever-accommodating firm of Ratchet, Ratchet and Bingo - all too often receives gobs of money from an ill-designed compensation arrangement.

The reality is that inequality with respect to capital is a far greater domestic issue than it is an international one.
