Thank you! That's a good idea! I hope you enjoy my book.

 

@Brett,

 

I've been suffering from sleep problems lately the first part of the nights, unfortunately, now, for a long time, the first part of the nights understood relatively, as I'm a 'severe' 'night owl', so this is likely early morning to others! In those periods I've been reading your book since it landed here.. Here, certainly!, not to be misunderstood. Food for thought in approiate doses -, one night, one dose [here meant as : One chapter, one investment, one thesis] at a time, in proper doses.

 

Your book - at least to me - many places - rocks and challenges the concept of 'Buffett being an [god almighty] 'investment savant'[, while he has personally always been the first one  admit to mistakes], while it's now totally clear to me, that it has all been hard work for many decades, also in the early years, to get to very top.

Thank you so much, Eric! That is a very generous offer and would be incredible--assuming you like it!

 

Will let you know. It arrived this week. It's my next book to read.

Hi all,

 

I recently wrote Buffett's Early Investments: A new investigation into the decades when Warren Buffett earned his best returns, which is coming out in one month (Amazon: https://amzn.to/4gRJaiy).

 

I cover ten case studies from the 1950s and 1960s (which includes both partnership investments and investments he made pre-partnership). Pre-partnership, I cover: Marshall-Wells, Greif Bros, Cleveland Worsted Mills, Union Street Railway, and Philadelphia and Reading. The partnership investments I cover are: British Columbia Power, American Express, Studebaker, Hochschild Kohn, and Walt Disney Productions. 

 

I have been posting some Buffett-content that didn't make it into the book on X, such as his letter to Merchants National Properties: https://x.com/brettgardner_10/status/1836016824833515657

 

Happy to answer any questions about the book!  I will be having some events in NYC promoting the book and will be at Berkshire next year. 

Just read the WSJ article with the (no) comment from Mr. Buffett. Congrats on the book. Kind of cool that he seemed aware of it.

This is my fault for making a thread in both places!

 

Thank you, KPO!
