I love Warren Buffett. All of the following are true:
- He is worth $66 billion.
- In 2018, he’ll be appearing in a movie; “Superman versus Buffett.” Rumor has it that Charlie Munger is in negotiations to play Robin.
- Buffett is giving almost his entire fortune to charity upon his death.
- He has X-ray vision.
- Buffett has outperformed the markets for over 50 years.
- He can take the form of a rubber duck.
The Letter
One of the most awesome things about Buffett is that he freely shares his knowledge in the Berkshire annual letter. The morning it hits the Internet, I wake up early (before the children start beating on each other) and give it a read. It’s almost as good as Christmas morning.
While Buffett doesn’t really have any superpowers, the man knows how to print money. Even better, he knows how to live.
Anyway, I shared my favorite parts of this year’s letter on a post over at InvestmentZen. You’ll never have as much money as Buffett, but you can live pretty great if you follow his advice.

Good stuff. It is refreshing to have some positivity in such doom and gloom environment that the media wants sell us.

I read Jeff Bezo’s annual letter this year as well. I’d recommend giving it a read.
Bezo’s letter is pretty good too. At one point I read every letter since the formation of the company (this was several years ago)…after awhile I realized it doesn’t change much from year-to-year.

I’ve heard of that one! Bezos is brilliant, so I’ll check it out this weekend.
Investment zen was the most add filled sote I think I have ever encountered. It was very difficult to read…..at least from an iPad! Whew that was exhausting.
Sorry about the typos….my eyes are still crossed.
Like yourself, I follow Warren Buffet very closely. In fact I have many of his largest holdings as the core of my stock holdings and couldn’t be happier. Sure he may make a mistake from time to time but he understands the markets better than anybody and has been successful for decades. Are there other investors or as I call them guru’s that you follow?

I like Charlie Munger more than Buffett. Poor Charlie’s Almanack is pretty great.
My favorite other people to read are Morgan Housel, Barry Ritholtz and some of the others from his team (Josh Brown, Ben Carlson).
How about you?
Charlie lives in his shadow (kind of) but the two of them definitely need each other. I remember Buffett said in an interview without Charlie keeping him on track at crucial times he may not have had the success he had today. Like yourself I enjoy Barry Ritholtz and his team. I like to follow a lot of the CNBC group, specifically Jim Cramer.
I also follow Carl Ichan, David Einhorn, and Daniel Loeb

What do you mean he doesn’t have super powers?!?! Printing money *is* a super power in my mind…and he uses it for good!

OH my goodness, 30 pages of the annual letter! Alright, going to grab a beer and get through this baby and see how it can be applied to my own investments.
Let’s see this Christmas Morning Happiness you’re talking about. Thanks for linking.
