| | Warren Buffett - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Buffett was exposed to the economics of selling direct, and perhaps more importantly to the benefits of insurance "float", that is the funds which an insurance company holds and is able to invest for its own profit. | | | Buffett believes that much of the problem with the economies of the United States and other industrialized countries in recent years results from the proliferation of persons and organizations who produce nothing directly but are compensated based on the volume of business transactions which they facilitate. | | | Buffett said in a Wall Street Journal interview that taxes on the two homes should be based on value, just like his home in Omaha, but instead is based in purchase date, thanks to limitations on increases in property tax established by California Proposition 13 (1978). |

| | FT.com / Home UK - Buffett deepens dollar worries |
| | Warren Buffett has warned that the US trade deficit risks creating a “sharecropper’s society” as his letter to shareholders sounded an increasingly bearish tone about the value of the dollar. | | | Mr Buffett stepped up his warning about the US trade deficit and the need to finance it with foreign investment, devoting more than two full pages of the annual report to the topic. | | | Total assets rose from $181bn to $189bn and shareholder equity increased from $77.6bn to $85.9bn. |

| | Buffett could retire tomorrow and be confident of his place in business history not only as stock investor extraordinaire but as a corporate builder of the first rank. | | | Buffett essentially lets the chiefs of the companies that Berkshire acquires run their businesses as before, except that he requires them to transfer their excess cash to Omaha and clear capital-spending plans with him. | | | Buffett hasn't made many fundamental strategic errors, but this was a doozy: Imports now account for 95% of domestic shoe purchases, vs. 70% in the early 1990s. |

| | Warren Buffett: How He Does It |
| | Buffett prefers to see a small amount of debt so that earnings growth is being generated from shareholders' equity as opposed to borrowed money. | | | When Buffett invests in a company, he isn't concerned with whether the market will eventually recognize its worth; he is concerned with how well that company can make money as a business. | | | Once Buffett determines the intrinsic value of the company as a whole, he compares it to its current market capitalization - the current total worth (price). |

| | Salon Brilliant Careers Warren Buffett |
| | Buffett says he won't invest in a company unless he can "see" it, unless he can imagine what its balance sheet might look like in a decade or two -- a shockingly long view, especially at a time when many investors hold stocks for just days, or even minutes, at a time. | | | Buffett's current stake is valued at some $13 billion. | | | After investing $25,000 each in a Buffett-led investment partnership in the early 1960s, in 1970 the couple received thousands of shares of Berkshire Hathaway Inc., Buffett's insurance and investment holding company, at $42 a share. |

| | Buffett used the question to teach a mini-clinic on corporate finance, pointing out that the managers of a company have a fiduciary duty to put the company's cash to optimal use. | | | Buffett and Munger reserved some of their most withering scorn for the mutual fund industry. | | | In euphoric times like 1999, Buffett explained, people invest as if they are "living in a fool's paradise" and end up losing money on stocks even though business as a whole remains profitable. |

| | It also automatically provides you with a hard-headed investment strategy: always invest in government bonds, unless you can find something else you are confident will yield more cash. | | | Warren Buffett hasn't exactly published his formula for what he calls the intrinsic value of a company, but he has dropped a number of hints. | | | He apparently multiplies estimated future earnings by a confidence margin between zero and a hundred percent (a bird in the bush being worth 0.5 birds in the hand, and all that; bush birds are the earnings you hope for, and hand birds are the earnings you're confident will materialize). |
