How Henry Singleton Got Berkshire Stock

Henry Singleton was a genius who could play chess blindfolded just below the Grandmaster level and never got less than an 800 on any complicated math or physics exam. But he managed those companies on a way more centralized basis than Berkshire has ever operated. And in the end, the great bulk of the enterprise is he wanted to sell to us. So I don't think you should get the idea just because he was a genius.
