We Study Billionaires - The Investor’s Podcast Network
Business:Investing
On today’s episode, Clay reviews Warren Buffett’s shareholder letters and shares his takeaways, and distills some of the biggest lessons he learned. If you asked a lot of value investors, they would tell you that reading Buffett’s letters is equivalent to an MBA on value investing and business. Buffett has a lot to teach us as investors as he has grown the value of Berkshire shares by over 3,600,000% since he took control of the business in 1965.
IN THIS EPISODE YOU’LL LEARN:
00:00 - Intro
07:44 - What Berkshire’s “Big Four” businesses are.
13:16 - What Buffett looks for when investing in a business and what he looks for in a management team.
14:19 - Why Buffett loves share repurchases and why they give me further vindication that a stock is cheap.
18:28 - Why it pays to treat your colleagues and shareholders like partners.
24:49 - Why industries with constant change should be avoided by investors.
28:36 - How Buffett views cash and leverage in his capital allocation strategy.
49:28 - What Buffett looks for when selecting him and Charlie’s successors.
