Using the same documents Buffett used when he made these investments, the author reveals the fascinating inside stories of: - How Philadelphia and Reading, Buffett’s largest investment in 1954, transformed from a declining coal company to a diversified conglomerate whose stock went up twentyfold due to the intervention of Buffett’s mentor, Ben Graham. - How Buffett and Charlie Munger made their first formal investment together in Hochschild-Kohn. - How corporate governance issues actually presented serious risk to Buffett’s 1966 investment in Walt Disney. Other investments analyzed include American Express, British Columbia Power, Cleveland Worsted Mills, Greif Bros, Marshall-Wells, Studebaker, and Union Street Railway. Not all of these investments worked out—this book shows why. \u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eBuffett’s Early Investments\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e helps readers understand how history’s greatest ever investor really made his returns in the years where he produced his best numbers.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46677213806750,"sku":"TLD-9781804090572","price":84.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781804090572.jpg?v=1775454573","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781804090572","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
