📍 It’s Berkshire Weekend.

I just read Buffett & Munger Unscripted by Alex W. Morris on the way to Omaha

Here are the most important lessons: Image
1. Buffett’s first question for every stock:

“If I were buying the whole company, would I be happy owning it forever?”

He doesn’t think like a trader.
He thinks like an owner. Image
2. Focus on ROE

“Time is the enemy of the poor business.”

Mediocre businesses get worse with time.
Great ones get stronger.

Buffett and Munger learned this the hard way, from owning bad businesses. Image
