Warren Buffett

Think long-term.
"Your goal as an investor should simply be to purchase, at a rational price, a part interest in an easily-understandable business whose earnings are virtually certain to be materially higher five, ten and twenty years from now. Over time, you will find only a few companies that meet these standards - so when you see one that qualifies, you should buy a meaningful amount of stock. You must also resist the temptation to stray from your guidelines: If you aren't willing to own a stock for ten years, don't even think about owning it for ten minutes.

Forever is a good holding period.
"When we own portions of outstanding businesses with outstanding managements, our favorite holding period is forever."

Buy businesses that can be run by idiots.
"I try to buy stock in businesses that are so wonderful that an idiot can run them. Because sooner or later, one will."

There are no bonus points for complicated investments.
"Our investments continue to be few in number and simple in concept: The truly big investment idea can usually be explained in a short paragraph. We like a business with enduring competitive advantages that is run by able and owner-oriented people. When these attributes exist, and when we can make purchases at sensible prices, it is hard to go wrong (a challenge we periodically manage to overcome).

Any stocks come to Mind?
