  • Warren Buffett Trip
    Warren Buffett Trip Omaha, Nebraska January 2018 Letter from Smart Woman Securities National Meeting with Warren Buffett on January 12th was an honor and a privilege that SWS members will treasure for a lifetime! During the 2 ½ hour Q&A session, we intently listened to Mr. Buffett as he educated us on business, provided advice on rela- tionships and shared meaningful and humorous insights on life and success. He is often referred to as the “Sage of Omaha”, a title earned for being the world’s greatest investor. The definition of a sage is someone characterized by wisdom, prudence and good judgement and Mr. Buffett truly embodies each of these qualities. But the depth of his tremendousness goes far beyond his financial acumen. And because of his generosity with his time, we were able to see and hear for ourselves just how wonderful a person he is. His brilliance, humility, kindness and optimism were evident and inspiring. Our rigorous preparation requirements included readings from The Intelligent Investor, The Making of an American Capital- ist, watching video interviews, dissecting the Annual Shareholder newsletter, and participating in weekly discussion groups. By thoroughly researching companies and studying biographies of the executives that we were meeting, it allowed the students to take full advantage of the opportunity of asking thoughtful questions beyond what anyone could easily access on the internet. All agreed that the preparation allowed them to derive the maximum benefit from the trip. That afternoon was followed by an exclusive dinner at Mr. Buffett’s favorite steakhouse, Gorat’s with our members and SWS Co- founders, Tracy Britt Cool and Teresa Hsiao.

  • Berkshire's Blemishes: Lessons for Buffett's
    CUNNINGHAM – FINAL BERKSHIRE’S BLEMISHES: LESSONS FOR BUFFETT’S SUCCESSORS, PEERS, AND POLICY Lawrence A. Cunningham Berkshire Hathaway’s unique managerial model is lauded for its great value; this Article highlights its costs. Most costs stem from the same features that yield such great value, which boil down, ironically, to Berkshire trying to be something it isn’t: it is a massive industrial conglomerate run as an old-fashioned investment partnership. An advisory board gives unchecked power to a single manager (Warren Buffett); Buffett makes huge capital allocations and pivotal executive hiring-and-firing decisions with modest investigation and scant oversight; Berkshire’s autonomous and decentralized structure grants operating managers enormous discretion with limited second-guessing; its trust- based culture relies on a cultivated vision of integrity more than internal controls; and its thrifty anti-bureaucracy means no central departments, such as public relations or general counsel. Delineating the visible costs of Berkshire’s model confirms the desirability of tolerating many of them, given the value concurrently generated, but also reveals ways to improve the model—a few while Buffett is at the helm, but mostly for successors. Current reform suggestions include hiring a full- time public relations professional at headquarters and more systematically developing senior executives; suggestions for future reform include enhanced subsidiary compliance © 2016.

Thanks for comments to Stephanie Cuba, Anupreeta Das, Chris Goulakos, Brian Tayan, and Jason Zweig; for research assistance to Gia Arney; and to the audience at the Museum of American Finance where I delivered this paper as the keynote address for its symposium on the Fiftieth Anniversary of Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway.

  • My Name Is Alex Crippen and I Like to Keep Track of Warren Buffett
    This is an unofficial transcript of Warren Buffett’s three-hour March 3, 2014 “Ask Warren” live appearance on CNBC’s “Squawk Box.” BECKY QUICK: The ruble is at an all-time low versus the dollar. It fell drastically today, not only against the dollar but also the euro. So investors are sitting up and taking notice. The-- MICE index in Russia was under quite a bit of pressure as well. So-- the-- it may not be playing out by more than just 150 points right now in the U.S., but there are some major moves happening in markets around the globe as investors try to figure this out. Again, perhaps no better investor to sit down and speak with today than Warren Buffett. We are here in Omaha because-- Berkshire Hathaway's annual letter-- Warren Buffett's annual letter to the shareholders went out on Saturday morning. And, Warren, we've spent some time digesting-- a large annual letter. WARREN BUFFETT: I get paid by the word. BECKY: Yeah. So-- a very hefty annual letter that gives people a lot to think about. As you do every year you laid out a lot about your thoughts about investing in general-- and taking a look at the markets. And I would ask you for your macro view on the markets. But in your letter you pointed out that you don't give much credence to people offering macro views. CNBC SQUAWK BOX TRANSCRIPT: Monday, March 3, 2014 PAGE 1 OF 48 BUFFETT: No. No, I-- I've been buying businesses and stocks for a lot of years, stocks for-- 71 years and businesses for almost as long.
