Among the “Superinvestor” of Graham and DoddsVille one of the most interesting one was Walter Schloss. Schloss passed away in 2012 and he has to be introduced and known by young kids and young adults because of his old-fashioned style of investing that really intrigues me a lot. His adversion to lose money and his…
The story of Mrs. B from Nebraska Furniture Market is a story known very well to every Buffett student and Berkshire shareholder. Starting from scratch and becoming the greatest furniture mall of the Country is a perfect example of how big can be the generosity of an immigrant determined to establish herself in a new…
The most important thing I always looked for in great investors and great business minds is integrity. From there I started to evaluate my relationships with the others in every field under a new light. It improved my life a big deal. Ethics improves your skills in business teaching you that everyday you advertise yourself…

Non solo, ma suggerimenti di letture, analisi di come Berkshire si muove sul mercato e su acquisizioni,…

Here follows some suggestions for everyone interested in making the best investment always possible and available: the investment in yourself. The best and irreplaceable…
