Snorky Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 I have a copy here, but couldn't read it till now. I looked through it and I'm really looking forward to read it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DooDiligence Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Interesting history. So basically Buffet ran a hedge fund before Berkshire? I assume that some of you are managing funds using methods similar to the Buffet Partnership? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villainx Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Not a lot of comments on the book. Good? Even for someone who is fairly knowledgeable with Buffett's history/approach? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woltac Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 I have been following BRK since the early 90s and really liked Ground Rules. The information in the book is from the partnership days and has more relevance to the way small investors should approach their investments than the way BRK currently operates. This is in no way a criticism of the current BRK operation, which has evolved due to the ever increasing size of the firm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DooDiligence Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Not a lot of comments on the book. Good? Even for someone who is fairly knowledgeable with Buffett's history/approach? I thought it was very good. I'm not a trained financial analyst (holdings in signature will bear witness...) Reading through the history of the Dempster Mill deal was cool (I loved the painted inventory level line in the warehouse - simple but effective.) The book also gives a nice intro to Generals, Workouts & Controls. Worth reading & anybody who say's otherwise is just itchin' for a fight...

CorpRaider Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Not a lot of new material for most of you guys on here. Easy read though. He basically quotes and then discusses a point in a brief narrative and then pulls together relevant quotes. I find it nice to have a bound copy of the partnership letters. Its kind of like Cunningham's compilation of the BRK letters but moderately inferior to that work as I think Cunningham bring a little more substance to the party.
