| brk.b dividend history: Buffett Roger Lowenstein, 2013-07-24 Since its hardcover publication in August of 1995, Buffett has appeared on the Wall Street Journal, New York Times, San Francisco Chronicle, Los Angeles Times, Seattle Times, Newsday and Business Week bestseller lists. Starting from scratch, simply by picking stocks and companies for investment, Warren Buffett amassed one of the epochal fortunes of the twentieth century—an astounding net worth of $10 billion, and counting. His awesome investment record has made him a cult figure popularly known for his seeming contradictions: a billionaire who has a modest lifestyle, a phenomenally successful investor who eschews the revolving-door trading of modern Wall Street, a brilliant dealmaker who cultivates a homespun aura. Journalist Roger Lowenstein draws on three years of unprecedented access to Buffett’s family, friends, and colleagues to provide the first definitive, inside account of the life and career of this American original. Buffett explains Buffett’s investment strategy—a long-term philosophy grounded in buying stock in companies that are undervalued on the market and hanging on until their worth invariably surfaces—and shows how it is a reflection of his inner self. |

Fisher, Forbes' Portfolio Strategy Columnist Founder and CEO, Fisher Investments Finally, someone blows apart the myth that Warren Buffett is a buy-and-hold investor. Altucher has given us an insightful and well-written commentary on how Buffett has amassed his track record, and what we can do to emulate him. He details the trade-by-trade examples. This is a must read for anyone wanting to learn about how the Master Investor works. -John Mauldin, author, Bull's Eye Investing editor of Thoughts from the Frontline (www.2000wave.com) While Warren Buffett is considered the world's greatest value investor, there's another side to Buffett that is rarely talked about. Although Buffett has gained recognition for his value investing approach to the markets, the fact is that nobody-over the past fifty years-has traded and invested with a more diverse group of strategies than Buffett. Trade Like Warren Buffett challenges the current coverage of this great investor by including details of all of Buffett's investing and trading methods, including mean reversion, commodities, bonds, arbitrage, market timing, funds, as well as Graham-Dodd. To augment the discussion of each strategy, Trade Like Warren Buffett also includes interviews with leading financial professionals, who reveal in detail how they've successfully used the same techniques.

Cunningham, 2020-11-03 Anyone can buy stock in a public company, but not all shareholders are equally committed to a company’s long-term success. In an increasingly fragmented financial world, shareholders’ attitudes toward the companies in which they invest vary widely, from time horizon to conviction. Faced with indexers, short-term traders, and activists, it is more important than ever for businesses to ensure that their shareholders are dedicated to their missions. Today’s companies need “quality shareholders,” as Warren Buffett called those who “load up and stick around,” or buy large stakes and hold for long periods. Lawrence A. Cunningham offers an expert guide to the benefits of attracting and keeping quality shareholders. He demonstrates that a high density of dedicated long-term shareholders results in numerous comparative and competitive advantages for companies and their managers, including a longer runway to execute business strategy and a loyal cohort against adversity. Cunningham explores dozens of corporate practices and policies—such as rational capital allocation, long-term performance metrics, and a shareholder orientation—that can help shape the shareholder base and bring in committed owners. Focusing on the benefits for corporations and their investors, he reveals what draws quality shareholders to certain companies and what it means to have them in an investor base. This book is vital reading for investors, executives, and directors seeking to understand and attract the kind of shareholders that their companies need. |
| brk.b dividend history: Build Wealth With Common Stocks David J. Waldron, 2021-01-19 An informed investor has a far greater chance of getting rich slow than getting rich fast, and getting rich slowly is better than not at all. From the dust jacket's inside flaps: Written for individual investors by an individual investor, in Build Wealth With Common Stocks, David J. Waldron shares actionable ideas to construct a potentially market-beating portfolio of the common shares of enduring companies to fund life's significant milestones. Waldron offers inspiring wisdom and memorable anecdotes to keep the reader moving forward during the endless roller coaster rides of market cycles. On Outperforming Wall Street Despite limited capital, the individual investor on Main Street has the potential to achieve superior returns with lower costs and less risk than the power brokers working on Wall Street. On Being a Thoughtful Investor To paraphrase American baseball legend Yogi Berra, investing is '90 percent half' common sense. The 'other half' is patience and discipline. On Patience Patience is the scarcest and, thereby, the most valuable commodity available to the retail-level investor. On Discipline One rule virtually guarantees you will never lose money on an investment (Chapter Five). On Productive Fear A portfolio constructed on the fear of losing money is destined to outperform a basket thrown together from the fear of missing out. On Taking Ownership Stop placing bets on stocks and start investing in companies. On Active vs. Passive Investing Buy slices of the best companies in the sector, reserving the index for hedging your portfolio. On the Perils of High Yield Dividends Chasing current yield is a recipe for junk equity. Instead, practice this more profitable concept of dividend investing (Chapter Nine). On the Death of Value Investing Value investing is never dead; it's just less popular than short-term growth stories. As long as there are financial markets or farmers' markets, value prevails. On the Benefits of Self-Directed Investing Build your beach or lake house instead of your financial advisor's. On Assessing Risk A risk understood, accepted, and well-managed becomes the risk worth taking. On Being a Defensive Investor Outperform the market by managing the downside while allowing the upside to take care of itself. Copyright 2020-21 by David J. Waldron. All rights reserved. |
