Warren Buffett built Berkshire Hathaway into something
remarkable— and Fortune journalist Carol Loomis had a front-row
seat for it all.
When Carol Loomis first mentioned a little-known Omaha hedge fund
manager in a 1966 Fortune article, she didn’t dream that Warren
Buffett would one day be considered the world’s greatest
investor—nor that she and Buffett would quickly become close
personal friends. As Buf?fett’s fortune and reputation grew over
time, Loomis used her unique insight into Buffett’s thinking to
chronicle his work for Fortune, writ?ing and proposing scores of
stories that tracked his many accomplishments—and also his
occa?sional mistakes.
Now Loomis has collected and updated the best Buffett articles
Fortune published between 1966 and 2012, including thirteen cover
stories and a dozen pieces authored by Buffett himself. Loomis has
provided commentary about each major arti?cle that supplies context
and her own informed point of view. Readers will gain fresh
insights into Buffett’s investment strategies and his thinking on
management, philanthropy, public policy, and even parenting. Some
of the highlights include:
The 1966 A. W. Jones story in which Fortune first mentioned
Buffett.
The first piece Buffett wrote for the magazine, 1977’s “How Inf
lation Swindles the Equity Investor.”
Andrew Tobias’s 1983 article “Letters from Chairman Buffett,” the
first review of his Berk?shire Hathaway shareholder letters.
Buffett’s stunningly prescient 2003 piece about derivatives,
“Avoiding a Mega-Catastrophe.”
His unconventional thoughts on inheritance and philanthropy,
including his intention to leave his kids “enough money so they
would feel they could do anything, but not so much that they could
do nothing.”
Bill Gates’s 1996 article describing his early impressions of
Buffett as they struck up their close friendship.
Scores of Buffett books have been written, but none can claim this
work’s combination of trust between two friends, the writer’s deep
under?standing of Buffett’s world, and a very long-term
perspective.
