Book • 2024
This book delves into the early investments of Warren Buffett, analyzing ten significant investments he made in the 1950s and 1960s.
Using the same documents Buffett used at the time, the author reveals the inside stories of how these investments transformed, including the transformation of Philadelphia and Reading from a declining coal company to a diversified conglomerate, the first formal investment with Charlie Munger in Hochschild-Kohn, and the risks faced in the 1966 investment in Walt Disney.
The book also covers investments in American Express, British Columbia Power, Cleveland Worsted Mills, Greif Bros, Marshall-Wells, Studebaker, and Union Street Railway, providing insights into why some investments succeeded while others did not.
