Warren Buffett on Practically Everything, 1966-2012 : a Fortune Magazine Book

Tap Dancing to Work

Lawrence A. Cunningham

Experienced readers of Warren Buffett's letters to the shareholders of Berkshire Hathaway Inc. have gained an enormously valuable informal education. The letters distill in plain words all the basic principles of sound business practices. On selecting managers and investments, valuing businesses, and using financial information profitably, the writings are broad in scope and long on wisdom. The central theme uniting Buffett's lucid essays is that the principles of fundamental valuation analysis, first formulated by his teachers Ben Graham and David Dodd should guide investment practice. Linked to that theme are management principles that define the proper role of corporate managers as the stewards of investing capital, and the proper role of shareholders as the suppliers and owners of capital. Radiating from these main themes are practical and sensible lessons on mergers and acquisitions, accounting and taxation. In this revised and updated edition of this classic work are the business and investment ideas of the man regarded as the world's most successful investor.

As in previous editions of The Essays of Warren Buffett, this one retains the architecture and philosophy of the original edition but adds selections from Warren Buffett's most recent annual shareholder letters. All the letters are woven together into a fabric that reads as a complete and coherent narrative of a sound business and investment philosophy. As an aid to all readers, and to enable readers of the previous editions to see what is new in this one, a disposition table at the end of the book shows the various places in this collection where selections from each year's letter appear. Footnotes throughout indicate the year of the annual report from which essays are taken. To avoid interrupting the narrative flow, omissions of text within excerpts are not indicated by ellipses or other punctuation. This new edition is called for not because anything has changed about the fundamentals of Buffett's sound business and investment philosophy but because articulation of that philosophy is always delivered in the context of contemporary events and business conditions so periodic updating is warranted to maintain its currency

Warren E. Buffett first took control of Berkshire Hathaway Inc., a small textile company, in April of 1965. A share changed hands for around $18 at the time. Fifty letters to shareholders later, the same share traded for $226,000, compounding investor capital at just under 21% per year-a multiplier of 12,556 times. This book compiles the full, un-edited versions of 50 years of Warren Buffett's letters to the shareholders of Berkshire Hathaway. In addition to providing an astounding case study on Berkshire's success, Buffett shows an incredible willingness to share his methods and act as a teacher to his many students.

Berkshire Hathaway Letters to Shareholders

To keep his best talents motivated, he follows some basic rules. Top managers are free to take all business decisions. He has liberal incentive schemes to reward those who perform well. Whereas many of the companies provide incentives to their employees based on overall performance of the company, Warren Buffet prefers incentives to be directly linked to the business or section that is separately operated by a manager. He keeps these incentives based on return on invested capital, that is his primary yardstick, instead of increase in sales or growth in profits.
