The letters distill in plain words all the basic principles of sound business practices. They are arranged and introduced by a leading apostle of the 'value' school and noted scholar, Lawrence Cunningham. What's new in the second edition? This new edition has extensive additional content that highlights topics of vital national or international significance, including: - the proliferation of stock option compensation and excessive CEO pay; - Berkshire s shareholder-designated contribution program and the controversy over the abortion issue that led to its termination; - the explosion of derivative financial instruments and related perils and how Berkshire dealt with managing a sizable portfolio of them after buying Gen Re; - the dramatic increase in foreign currency trading in the past five years along with the astonishing growth in the US trade deficit; - management succession at Berkshire Hathaway as Mr. Buffett ages; - commentary on his philanthropic thinking in giving his entire fortune to charities; and - the fairness and other matters concerning taxation of corporations. Here in one place are the priceless pearls of business and investment wisdom, woven into a delightful narrative on the major topics concerning both managers and investors. These timeless lessons are useful to members of a wide range of professions, including law, accounting, finance and management, and provide rich teaching materials for courses in those fields.

I must say that it is really easy to read, but at the same time it has so many layers of interpretations that to fully understand what Warren is saying you haev to read more than once. My class was based on interpreting those matter-of-fact statements one passes by quickly without noticing how much depth there is to the statement. I found the book very enlightening in terms of what to look for at the corporate level. Rating: - Excellent book lives up to hype There are so many Buffett books out there. This is my favorite to date. Much easier than carrying around all the annual reports. Rating: - Compilation of Warrens comments If you like Warren Buffet's sense of humor and investing style this book is a good read. Should be recommended reading for all MBAs. Rating: - excellent book It may seem odd to spend money on publicly available information but reading what Warren Buffett had to say on a given topic in all these years in a cohesive fashion is invaluable. see more
