Berkshire's investment in Apple is responsible for ~50% of its portfolio success in the last 20 years. The rest is insurance. Respect to the man for running an operation for 60 years. That's a helluva feat that deserves a lot of admiration. Still surprised at HN's glazing of someone whose life's mission was to make a number go up and to the right via insurance packages. | ||

Buffett's restraint was legendary and his transparency even more so. Bill Gates also initially dismissed him, thinking he had nothing to learn. General Electric also tried to "make a number go up" and effed up the insurance part despite having Buffett as a model and putting 10,000 people through their custom management training facility every year. Raise a glass to the man and read his letters. | ||
