How to get an MBA!

Several people inquired about my interest in Berkshire Hathaway, Warren Buffett and value investing. My interest is one of stockholder, money manager and business executive. Someone once said that a careful reading of Warren Buffett’s letters to shareholders from 1977 to the present is equivalent to two years in many postgraduate business schools. I share that belief. Clearly, two or three accounting courses wouldn’t hurt, but once the fundamentals of accounting are understood, Buffett’s letters teach as well as any coursework I’ve been exposed to. The annual letter and report for 2001 will be posted on the web on Saturday morning, March 9, 2002. In light of Berkshire Hathaway’s standing as one of the leading insurance and reinsurance organizations in the world, Buffett’s discussion of the impact from September 11, 2001 on the insurance industry should provide a truly worthwhile education!
