9. I have pledged — to you, the rating agencies and myself -– to always run Berkshire with more ample cash. We never want to count on the kindness of strangers in order to meet tomorrow’s obligations. When forced to choose, I will not trade even a night’s sleep for the chance of extra profits.

Yet the Dow rose from 66 to 11,497.

12. It’s far better to buy a wonderful company at a fair price than a fair company at a wonderful price.
