  • 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.

  • Insurance Prices May Continue to Decline
    Insurance Prices May Continue to Decline by Bloomberg News PASADENA, Calif. (Bloomberg)—Berkshire Hathaway Inc.’s Charles Munger, who has helped Chairman Warren Buffett reduce the firm’s reliance on insurance sales, said declines in policy prices may continue, even as the economy shows signs of recovery. “I would not bet the farm” on price increases, Mr. Munger said Wednesday in Pasadena, Calif., at a shareholders’ meeting of Berkshire’s Wesco Financial Corp. “It’s so easy to underprice and under-reserve.” Mr. Buffett, 79, scaled back coverage of natural disasters in the last two years and invested Berkshire’s cash in bank shares and the $27 billion takeover of railroad Burlington Northern Santa Fe Corp. Mr. Munger, who oversees businesses insuring banks and airlines as Wesco’s chairman, pushed Mr. Buffett to buy a stake in Chinese automaker BYD Co. in 2008. U.S. commercial insurance rates have fallen since 2004 as carriers compete for business. “We’re more tough-minded” than rivals who cut prices, said Mr. Munger. “Berkshire is different.” Mr. Munger, 86, helped Buffett evaluate the takeovers that in the last three decades turned Omaha, Neb.-based Berkshire into a $190 billion firm that sells energy and diamonds, hauls freight and underwrites earthquake insurance. He’s been Berkshire’s vice chairman since 1978 and shares the stage with Mr. Buffett at the company’s annual meeting in Omaha. Messrs. Munger and Buffett drew a crowd of 37,000 people to the May 1 meeting of Berkshire shareholders and they answered questions for five hours on the economy, public policy, business ethics and the company they run.
