Warren E. Buffett is chairman of Berkshire Hathaway Incorporated, a holding company that operates property and casualty insurance through subsidiaries. Berkshire Hathaway also owns stakes in publishing, candy, shoes, and in the gem business. Buffet is one of the richest men in the world. Buffett formed Buffett Partnership early in his career and made a great deal of money by buying companies that were undervalued but that would rise greatly in value shortly after he purchased them. His choices in investments earned him the title “oracle of Omaha.” His philosophy was simple: Pick good companies, buy the stock, and hold onto it forever. In 1987 Buffett was instrumental in rescuing the Salomon Brothers firm from a corporate raid. In 1992 he took charge of Salomon Brothers after a trading scandal from within.
Buffett’s philosophy may have suffered in 1999, according to a Forbes article. One example of this included Buffett’s Coca Cola holdings, which dropped in 1999 due to decreased performance of the product internationally and steep prices in the United States. Buffett also failed to pursue technology stocks in 1991 when they were at their cheapest. Between 1991 and 1999 the technical sector went from 6 percent of the S and P Index to 25 percent.
Buffett holds an annual shareholders meeting that is more like a religious revival, according to one investor. The meeting usually includes Buffett’s reiteration of his investment philosophy and a lengthy question and answer session.
