Blog postThis was a great read for me as a huge Buffett fan but an outsider to the finance/investment industry. The author wrote this in a very straightforward easy to read and understand format.

Blog postA great book for investors of all levels of experience. You can learn a lot from the Oracle of Omaha.

Blog postI find this book very knowledgeable and trustworthy. I would not have thought of the ideas presented in the text in years, or maybe I wouldn’t have thought of them at all. Overall I believe this is a great read if you are just starting to get into the investing world, or even if you’ve been in it for 10 years.

Blog postAn inseparable companion to Corporate Essays of Warren Buffett. The book does a lot to illuminate and develop the value investing principles within the former. bottom line: Don’t read Corporate Essays without following it or preceding it with this book. It also helps that it’s extremely readable without being dry. The author truly does a service for veteran and would-be investors.

Blog postThis was a great book, especially after completing my MBA. It will expand your perspective on business and investing. That said, I would recommend reading up on Buffet and Munger beforehand, so you have a sense of his life and business investments as you go through the 30 years of shareholder meetings.

Blog postI always learn something new or think in new ways after reading Dan Pecaut's writings...his thoughtful dialog helps elucidate the philosophy and technical trends of the markets, and I am looking forward to reading his paen to Warren Buffet's influence on his professional life.

Blog postThis book is a MUST read for anyone who has ever been, is, or ever plans to be interested in financial gain as well as the stock market and one of the greatest financial successes of our lifetime, Warren Buffett. However, this isn't your typical financial advising book, nor is it a biography of Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger. Daniel Pecaut's obvious love of these two financial geniuses shows brilliantly in his book "University of Berkshire Hathaway." Pecaut summarizes and details th

Blog postA very nice overview of Buffet and Munger's thoughts and insights over the decades. Since it is a synopsis of annual newsletters reviewing the annual reports, there is a fair amount of reinforcement and a lack of retrospective on previous year's commentary. However, that also reinforces their maxim of never getting caught up in the macro environment while focusing on valuation, moats, and management. The authors are also willing to posit the occasional question and avoid a feeling of breathl

Blog postThis book is a very focused collection of Buffett and Munger’s remarks over 30 years of Berkshire Hathaway shareholder meetings. It succeeds at not only recording their words but also contextualizing what they meant each individual year. A great way to not only absorb some of their investing wisdom but also to see Berkshire evolve year by year through contemporary commentary. It serves as a great historical document.

Blog postIf you're a Buffett fan like me, buy this and read it. Worth every penny. Since it's chronological, you get a good sense of when what happened in BH history as Charlie and Buffett recount many anecdotes since the "present management took over." Also you get to know what they said and did during dotcom bubble, ensuing recession later, financial crisis etc. It's a bit repetitive but net-net it's a buy.
-
Blog postFantastic book. In not-so-many words, a Cliff's Notes to the annual meetings. As the saying goes, "repetition is a good thing"! One can't help but pick up on the repetitive themes that are filled with wisdom. Not only a great book for investor but also for young people to learn and live by.

Blog postDaniel sent me a copy of his book after reading a review I left on another book about value investing; however, this in no way influences the review below. This book is an extraordinary compendium of knowledge. I am young and early in my investing practice, and have no other way to learn from these shareholder meetings. I am grateful that Daniel and his co-author, Corey Wrenn, took detailed notes and shared them with the public. Each year’s summary begins with a snapshot of attendance numbers

Blog postI loved the layout of the book and how all the figures were available and easy to understand. Will use as a reference later.

Blog postBeing a neophyte at investing, I had the opportunity to discover and read this collection of Berkshire Hathaway annual meeting summaries. The nuggets of wisdom from Warren Buffet and Charlie Munger were interesting as well as enlightening. They presented principles for the investor in companies to consider before the initial purchase and strategies to follow to be successful. Their comments about how and why they acquired certain companies and how they contributed to the overall value of Berksh

Blog postThis is an amazing book. I really loved reading it. The way the authors have attended the meetings, taken notes and shared through this book is amazing. Their sheer act of attending the meeting year-after-year and taking rigorous notes is what great discipline is all about. Thank you for bringing this book out.

Blog postI’ve read every title covering Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger and I’ve come away with something from each one. That said, many can seem repetitive on subject matter and distant regarding Buffett. Daniel’s work is unique in these areas in that he’s followed Berkshire for decades and personally, or through his partner, recorded all anecdotes and lessons from 30+ annual meetings at Berkshire - the information is impressive even for a cult member like me. The organization and layout of the infor

Blog postWhile nowhere near as in-depth as reading Buffet's annual reports themselves, these meeting notes offer great insight into Buffet and Mungers investment strategies as well as their general mental framework and economic outlook. The repetitions in the book serve to drive home key points--"Just buy good businesses and hold them for the long term", etc. The chapters are short and sweet. The language is easy to read. Good footnotes complement the text and provide additional information. Ov

Blog postI just started reading this book and I am already enjoying it very much. I only attended the past 4 BRK meetings. So I am humbled by 30 years of experience and note taking. I wish I had started earlier.

Blog postThis book distinguishes itself in many ways from other similar efforts - notably by virtue of first hand accounting of the material. Few can claim the attendance record of the author. The context and commentary offered shed perspective on the material presented. Having read many other efforts in this "genre" I now make this my first recommendation to those embarking on the Buffet/Munger/Berkshire learning path. I also suggest leaning on University of Berkshire as a reference tool for c

Blog postThis is an outstanding book. As the Bible tells us, seek wisdom and knowledge above silver and gold. A recommended read for those looking to learn more about value investing or how to build a great company step buy step.

Blog postI've long been an admirer of Warren Buffet. Years ago I was in a business training seminar and the presenter suggested we choose a business person we admire and copy them. I chose Warren Buffet and learned all I could about him. It's refreshing to revisit those thoughts and feelings I had then as I was taken through the 30 years of the Annual Shareholders Meetings as viewed through the eyes of two very talented and successful investors. The wisdom and wit of both Warren Buffet and Charlie Munge

Blog postLoved this book. A good addition to the Buffett / Munger library.

Blog postA lot of useful advice from the Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger. Certainly something I am going to re-read from time to time.
-
Blog postI like this book. Like many people perhaps, over the years I've set aside the Buffet letters with intentions to read them, but they never seem to rise to the top of the heap. So this collection of summaries of Berkshire Hathaway annual meetings fit my needs well. This book needs to be studied and not read, though. Periodically -more than I would have thought- I encountered unfamiliar phrases that seem to be important concepts that sent me digging deeper elsewhere. I really didn't want to fini

Blog postI read (and thoroughly enjoyed) this book a couple of months ago. It's on my short list of favorite investment books of the year. I'm staring at a bookshelf with hundreds of investing titles, and "University" is a fine addition. There’s quite a bit here for neophytes, general business afficionados, and Buffett-aholics alike.

Blog postI've read a lot of books about Warren and Charlie and Investing in general. This one I highly recommend to people who are just starting to dive into the fascinating world of investing and people who want to learn excellent life advice from two of the most successful investors. It is an easy read, unlike books like The Essays of Warren Buffet which is much harder to follow. If you still have doubts about the quality of this book check out my blog post on karlbooklover dot com.

Blog postLoved the book. Have come across many books on Berkshire letters, but none on the shareholder meetings. This book does an excellent job of crystallizing 5-6 hour long annual meetings into a few pages packed with insight and Warren & Charlie's inimitable humor.
