The Deals of Warren Buffett Volume 4

In this fourth volume of The Deals of Warren Buffett, we trace Buffett‘s journey as he made Berkshire Hathaway the most respected company in the world.When we left Buffett at the end of Volume 3 towards the end of the 1990s, he was leading the largest corporation in America and his personal fortune had reached $40 billion. In this enthralling next instalment, we follow Buffett‘s investment deals over the first few years of the 21st century, as Berkshire grew to become a giant with annual profits north of $4 billion.Buffett, then in his early 70s, was still tap dancing to work, thoroughly enjoying analysing companies, finding bargains and interacting with his growing team of managers.By studying the decision-making that went into his investment deals and the successful and unsuccessful outcomes, we can learn from Buffett and become better investors ourselves.During this period, exploiting the low prices following the dot-com crash, Buffett made investments in the following companies: MidAmerican Energy, CORT, Moody‘s, H&R Block, Shaw Industries, Star Furniture, Jordan‘s Furniture, Ben Bridge Jeweler, Justin Boot, Acme Brick, Benjamin Moore and CTB.For each of these deals, investing expert and Buffett historian Glen Arnold dives into unprecedented detail to analyse the investment rationale, the stories of the individuals involved and, where possible, the profits Buffett made.
