Morgan Posted April 5, 2015 Posted April 5, 2015 I recently read The Cable Cowboys about TCI and John Malone and have been trying to get my hands on the 1973-1996 TCOMA 10k's and other reports on the company's dealings. The book was good, but was lacking quite a bit of detail on what Malone actually did over the years. It would describe what the end result of his financial engineering was, but not really explain how it happened. Perhaps I'm just thick and didn't pick up on it. Regardless, does anyone have a copy of the reports they can share, or know where I can look up historical reports for free?
IntrinsicEdge Posted April 6, 2015 Posted April 6, 2015 Here is a link to Columbia University's archive of historical reports. There are only about 36 companies but dates ranging from the 1850s through the early 1960s. http://library.columbia.edu/locations/business/corpreports.html Not exactly what you were looking for but maybe a start for a list of historical reports.
IntrinsicEdge Posted April 6, 2015 Posted April 6, 2015 Here are a few others: - http://content.lib.washington.edu/reportsweb/ - http://www.library.upenn.edu/cgi-bin/corprep/recordList
Morgan Posted April 6, 2015 Author Posted April 6, 2015 Thank you for the links IntrinsicEdge! I looked through the company lists and didn't see TCI. They are very interesting though to look back and see how much more simple the reports were back then. Thanks again!

loganc Posted April 6, 2015 Posted April 6, 2015 This is what I was able to grab off a private database I have access to. This is awesome. Thanks so much.
Gamecock-YT Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 No problem guys. I was also able to pull the Moody's Manual write-ups, which was a more complete set. Not sure if they can be of any use, but figured someone might be able to get something out of them.1973_Moody_TCI.pdf1974_Moody_TCI.pdf1975_Moody_TCI.pdf1976_Moody_TCI.pdf1977_Moody_TCI.pdf1978_Moody_TCI.pdf1979_Moody_TCI.pdf1980_Moody_TCI.pdf1981_Moody_TCI.pdf1982_Moody_TCI.pdf1983_Moody_TCI.pdf1984_Moody_TCI.pdf1985_Moody_TCI.pdf1986_Moody_TCI.pdf1987_Moody_TCI.pdf1988_Moody_TCI.pdf1989_Moody_TCI.pdf1990_Moody_TCI.pdf1991_Moody_TCI.pdf1992_Moody_TCI.pdf

Orchard Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 Gamecock-YT - would you be able to share which database you're using?

rishig Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 Gamecock-YT - would you be able to share which database you're using? Check your PMs. I would like to know as well. Thanks for the reports.
loganc Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 If I could get a PM as well, it would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
aws Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 If I could get a PM as well, it would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance. Ditto
Guest Schwab711 Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 I just picked up this for $0.25 at a garage sale.
aws Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 On the topic of old reports, does this database have any pre-1995 Berkshire Reports, or related companies like Blue Chip Stamps? I've tried finding the items older than what's on the brk website before but all I've ever managed to come up with is the 1968 Berkshire 10-K.

Gamecock-YT Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 Someone requested the 1975 Kmart annual report.S.S._Kresge_1975.pdf

I've tried finding the items older than what's on the brk website before but all I've ever managed to come up with is the 1968 Berkshire 10-K. Looks like 1970-1983 Blue Chip Stamps Moody's Manual pages are the only thing in the database. Berkshire Annual reports 1955-1973, then picks up again in 1994.
Jurgis Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 Berkshire Annual reports 1955-1973, then picks up again in 1994. Berkshire Annuals from 1955-1973 would be great... I guess I'll also ask for PM about the DB. :)
aws Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 In case anyone wants the 1968 BRK 10-K. It's right after they bought National Indemnity, whose financials are also included but not consolidated.BRK-1968.pdf
