University of Berkshire Hathaway
by Daniel Pecaut and Corey Wrenn
Thirty years of notes from Berkshire annual meetings, year by year: what Buffett and Munger said about markets, businesses, mistakes and life, with the authors' commentary. It is the closest thing to attending, and the repetition across decades shows how consistent the principles were.
Read it if…
you want the annual-meeting wisdom without thirty years of transcripts.
Skip it if…
you want a structured investing course; it is chronological notes.
Three things you will actually use
- The principles do not change; the examples do.
- Mistakes are discussed openly; that is the culture.
- Decades of consistency is the lesson.
Do this first
Read one year per evening and note recurring themes.
Our verdict
Closest thing to attending.
