Berkshire Hathaway Letters to Shareholders Paperback – January 1, 2016

I own a significant amount of berkshire stock and read this whole book. It is a long read, but well worth it: you learn all the essentials to the company and get the best investing advice possible for long term wealth accumulation. I have steadily grown more knowledgeable and wealthy thanks to Buffet's gracious sharing of his profound understanding of capital markets. Buffet's wisdom is much more valuable than the refuse they teach in finance school. If you believe you have to study how to become wealthy, as I most assuredly do, seize on the opportunity to learn from the master and order this book with rapidity and incorporate it into your investing life. I thanks my lucky stars every day for Buffet's intellectual generosity.

I was so entertained by the shareholder letters -- in combination with the performance of the stock -- that I had to read other things by or about Buffett and his partner Munger. The shareholder letters are Buffett's view on Berkshire's annual report with a lot of humor and musings on investing thrown in. Buffett is a master communicator. One has to shake one's head at the chart at the book's beginning showing the comparison of Berkshire and S&P over 40 or so years. Wow, these guys are good! Other books -- Cunningham's book on Buffett (compilation of shareholder letter passages illustrating recurring themes, a kind of Berkshire in a Nutshell -- very good), Munger's "Psychology of Misjudgements" (a speech at Harvard Law School, on Youtube, very good), Tao of Buffett and Snowball (neither are my cup of tea), Intelligent Investor by Graham (Buffett's favorite book on investing, get the edition with commentary by Jason Zweig. -- fantastic).

Good job. received in good condition.

There have been critics who have written reviews on here that this book is no different than going online and printing out all of the shareholders letters and there are others that say that you should pick up Lawrence Cunningham's version because that version is editorialized and I am here to tell you that I have done all three, not because anyone has told me or I recommended it, but because I have thoroughly entrenched myself in the study of Warren Buffett, Charlie Munger and Berkshire Hathaway and I will tell you this edition and book is an outstanding treasure and amazing addition to anyone's library, full of awesome information and knowledge about the inner workings of Berkshire Hathaway. I'm actually very sorry I didn't get it much, much sooner. I cannot recommend this book strongly enough...10 STARS!!!!!

It's hard for me to review a book but this one has great information for everyone. I recommend.

The wisdom and biggest from this book are timeless. One of the best books I’ve read! As a BRK shareholder, highly recommend!

Invaluable resource. Can you please update through 2023?

As I write this review, I am reading this book. I am learning a lot about how Warren Buffett built his business empire. Lot to learn and highly recommended
