Alice Schroeder Talk (2018?)

[Saluki]

 

Alice Schroeder talk that I haven't seen before.  It's got some Buffett tidbits I hadn't heard before either.  Apparently it's from 2018, but I haven't seen this posted anywhere before. 

 

It looks like the rumor that she had a falling out and Buffett wasn't speaking to her after the book came out were exaggerated since Buffett still meets with her and approves of her new husband.

Great find!  I am surprised she has not writing anything else after Snowball. Is she formally retired?

[Saluki]

She said she was working on a book on investing, the last time I heard. Snowball took several years to write, so it may be a while before the other book comes out.

She also did a Q&A on Reddit once that I thought was really good.

@Whensthepaintdry?,

 

Yeah, I remember that, too, and on Reddit a Q&A is called an AMA [Ask Me Anything]!

In short, she lost access to Warren Buffett after the release of 'Snowball'.

IIRC Warren was upset by the implication that Susie was less than thrilled by how their marriage/relationship turned out. That’s how Alice has explained her lack of access anyway.

Appears that WEB was damn near impossible to live with from my readings and listening to Alice.  Him not helping with a bat in the house due to him not being bothered by it.  

 

Dude was truly wired to do only one thing.

It's the only book that I've started reading about Warren Buffett and Berkshire, that I never finished reading in full. And I likely never will. At a certain stage I simply got enough of insigt to 'The Less Flattering Version'.
