    Berkshire Hathaway 2022 Letter Analysis Part 2 (016)

    Berkshire Hathaway 2022 Letter Analysis Part 2 (016)

    Signe and Michelle analyzed the remainder of Warren Buffett's 2022 Letter that came out with Berkshire Hathaway's 2022 Annual Report at the end of February 2023. We resumed the discussion on share repurchases AKA share buybacks, which can be both good and bad capital allocation strategies. We explained why Buffett emphasizes operational earnings over GAAP earnings. Buffett seems to be really proud of how much Berkshire contributes in taxes to the US government. Finally, Buffett dedicated a tribute to his best friend and partner, Charlie Munger, by including some of Charlie's best quotes of wisdom. There is so much to learn from Buffett, who has successfully run Berkshire for 58 years and counting. We hope you enjoy the second part of our discussion on this subject.

    Berkshire Hathaway 2022 Letter Analysis Part 1 (015)

    Signe and Michelle analyzed Warren Buffett's 2022 Letter that came out with Berkshire Hathaway's 2022 Annual Report at the end of February 2023. We especially found noteworthy how Buffett referred to Berkshire shareholders as individuals with their savings in the form of Berkshire shares. Buffett must have had death on his mind in mentioning it across many business and personal scenarios. Buffett paid tribute to his best friend and business partner, Charlie Munger, who is still going strong at 99 years young. In running Berkshire for 58 years, Buffett has reached a milestone unmatched by most CEOs. He seemed to reiterate the moral duties and company culture that he expects Berkshire's future CEOs to uphold, especially in continuing to be the Chief Risk Officer and capital allocator as Buffett has been faithfully. When Signe quoted Buffett, "Nothing Beats Having a Great Partner," we shared our mutual gratitude to be business partners in this podcast adventure of trying to follow Buffett and Munger in their footsteps. There is much wisdom to be gained from Buffett in this year's letter, and we hope you enjoy the first part of our discussion on this subject.

    We are so excited to share an interview we did with The Investor's Podcast Network's Millennial Investing Podcast hosted by Rebecca Hotsko.

We broke down Buffett and Munger's investing strategy and how everyday people can apply these investing principles to their own portfolios. We dove into the key steps of how to value businesses like Buffett does, and what is a sufficient "margin of safety" for an investment.

    Inversion: Destroy Your Investment Idea Before You Invest (Part 5) (012)

    Inversion: Destroy Your Investment Idea Before You Invest (Part 5) (012)

    Part five of an ongoing series on Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger's 4 principles of investing. We walk through these investing principles in the form of a checklist that you can download here: https://www.aahus.com/2021/05/one-of-most-important-artifacts-or.html  

    We go through these steps in a company before we invest in its stock. The 4 investing principles/steps we discuss in this series are: 1) Understanding the business (circle of competence), 2) Management (honest & competent), 3) Moat (favorable long term prospects), and 4) Margin of Safety (available at an attractive price). A bonus, or 5) Inversion to make sure you fully understand the potential drawbacks of an investment idea.  

    Charlie Munger is famous for saying "invert, always invert" to destroy your best loved investment idea and understand all of the reasons why one should not invest in a particular asset. We discuss a few examples among Costco, Peloton, and more.

    Margin of Safety: Why The Price You Pay Matters (Part 4) (011)

    Part four of an ongoing series on Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger's 4 principles of investing. We walk through these investing principles in the form of a checklist that you can download here: https://www.aahus.com/2021/05/one-of-most-important-artifacts-or.html

    We go through these 4 steps in a company before we invest in its stock. The 4 investing principles/steps we discuss in this series are: 1) Understanding the business (circle of competence), 2) Management (honest & competent), 3) Moat (favorable long term prospects), and 4) Margin of Safety (available at an attractive price).

    Today's topic is especially exciting on the subject of Margin of Safety, or buying something of high quality at a discount to its value. In the context of investing, you want to figure out the "intrinsic value" of a company during your research or homework phase of studying businesses. It's important to note that the stock market's price on a company is not always equal to the company's value.

    Once we figure out the company's intrinsic value per share, we then would want to buy its stock at a discount (margin of safety) by calculating a final stock buy price using various valuation methods that we discussed in this episode.
