I have two different, unrelated ways to repeat this model.

Unfortunately, the world has changed. Yes, there is still the hope that a visionary can see through the forest to the golden tree, but so many are victims of securities fraud now, as compared to 1884, it makes it quite difficult to pitch. I find the world’s top wealth managers all make their money on inside deals, which are of course illegal.

So who do you pitch? VCs want to see the idea. Yeah, right.

Its dark times, but I have hope…

Where did you post your “reverse engineered” analysis of Buffett’s investments in GEICO 1976, Washington Post 1973 and Disney 1965? What were the predominant qualitiative factors in each of them? Also, did you post your own analysis (as opposed to Charlie Munger’s) on Buffett’s investment in Coke 1988. Please provide links. Thanks.

I found this article utterly fascinating. Do you know of any good resources (books, links, etc) that discuss intradisciplinary synthesis with psychology? Particularly the “lollapalooza effects coming from combinations of psychological tendencies.”

[...] â?? wrote an interesting post today onHere’s a quick excerpt During the past two weeks I have been “reverse engineering” some of Berkshire Hathaway’s investments (Coca-Cola in 1988, GEICO in 1976, Washington Post in 1973, Disney in 1965). In each case, the qualitative factors were so compelling that in-depth quantitative analysis would have been pointless. The following speech from Charlie Munger reveals how he gauges business quality. It is 1884 in Atlanta. You are brought, along with twenty others like you, before a rich and eccentric Atlanta citizen [...]
