Success Quote by Warren Buffett

"I am a huge bull on this country. We will not have a double-dip recession at all. I see our businesses coming back almost across the board"

About this Quote

Buffett isn’t just predicting; he’s underwriting confidence. “Huge bull” is investor slang turned into a public-facing slogan, and it does two things at once: it frames the U.S. as an asset you’d be foolish not to own, and it borrows the authority of his track record to make optimism feel like prudence rather than wishful thinking. The blunt certainty of “We will not” is the point. In a post-crisis economy where people were trained to expect the next shoe to drop, he’s selling psychological liquidity: the belief that tomorrow won’t freeze up.

The subtext is classic Buffett: the country is bigger than its quarterly panic. “This country” is deliberately broad, almost patriotic, but it’s also a diversified portfolio in disguise. By shifting from macro fear (“double-dip recession”) to operational reality (“businesses coming back”), he nudges listeners away from headline volatility toward the everyday machinery of demand, hiring, and balance sheets. “Almost across the board” is the tell - a small hedge that signals seriousness while still sounding sweeping.

Context matters: coming out of the 2008-09 shock, the debate wasn’t only about GDP; it was about legitimacy - whether American capitalism had broken itself. Buffett’s intent is to re-anchor the story: recessions are cycles, not verdicts. And because he speaks as a businessman, not a politician, the message lands as a kind of secular reassurance: the adults who actually allocate capital are back to doing it.
