"As long as the odds are in our favor and we're not risking the whole company on one throw of the dice or anything close to it, we don't mind volatility in results. What we want are the favorable odds." --Charlie Munger
"If we have a business about which we're extremely confident as to the business results, we'd prefer that its stock have high volatility. We'll make more money in a business where we know what the end game will be if it bounces around a lot." --Warren Buffett
