  1. Of Permanent Value: The Story of Warren Buffett/2014 Endless Extra Edition is a sweeping look at investor Warren Buffett and his company Berkshire Hathaway -- the firm with the $200,000 stock price. The book is a revised version of the 2014 Endless Edition which sold out. The work opens with a look at Berkshire's annual meeting, the largest and most famous in the world. The earlier edition began with a chapter about Heinz which has been expanded and moved to a later spot in the new book. Some chapters have been deleted from the earlier edition and replaced with fresher material. Many new color photos have been added. With more than 1300 pages and 340 newspaper story-like chapters and more than 2000 photos, the book is, as one Berkshire shareholder says, "ridiculously complete." Endless, actually. New vignettes range in topic from a recent large insurance investment to Buffett's casual evening out in Omaha with Paul McCartney. Another episode tells of how the purchase of a rare penny kept it in the Berkshire family. The rise of Buffett from his precocious youth to his exalted post as an elder statesman of business and philanthropy is chronicled in this readable, highly entertaining book.

  3. as i said the parties began in 1998 when i had the party for Susie Buffett.

    i emailed people all over the world to set up the party.

    i still have all the emails.

    i did them in 1999 and 2000 also.

    i have not been back since.

    i was in 2 movies about Buffetts life.

    one in 1999 by an American company.

    the second was in 2000 by an Austrailian company.

    it was the best one.

     

    i have many emails for Susie  none from  Warren.

    they were interesting times.

  4. i met Warren Buffett in 1998 when i had a surprise party for Suzie Buffett.

    i didn't expect Warren to come.

    him and his 5 body guards.

    someone told the press of the party, every tv station was there and reporters from around the world.

    the place was packed.

     

    i arranged parties in 1999 and 2000 also.

    Warren used to come to all our parties and Andy has parties on saturday before the meeting and Warren used to come to them.

    they were the good old days.

  5. i never heard of Warren Buffett till 1995 when i borrowed a book - The Warren Buffett way-.

    i bought Berkshire stock in 1996.

    it has gone up 6 times what i paid for it.

    so don't pay any attention to negative articles about berkshire.

    if these reporters make 50 billion dollars maybe i will pay attention otherwise tell them to shutup.

     

    if anyone wants to look at my facebook photos  search for marlin stockwell.

    there are berkshire photos on there.

    ok he had me fooled.  i will hang my head in shame.

  7. i have many pictures of Buffett and i have met him a number of times and talked to him.

    i just don't believe that picture holding whatever is Buffett.

    Someone is playing a trick.

  8. Andy tells me he will be on CNBC 5am friday.

    i will tape it.

    I met Andy in 1998 at one of his parties in Omaha.

    I bought Berkshire in 1996, The A's were $30,000 a share at that time.

    I had a party for Susie Buffett in 1998 and thats where i met Warren.

    i wasn't expecting him to come.

    just a little tidbit.
