...never had to. His latest blockbuster deal came two weeks ago when Walt Disney Co. agreed to pay $19 billion to acquire Capital Cities/ABC. Buffett, whose Berkshire Hathaway holding company is the largest stockholder of Capital Cities/ABC, brokered the buyout and saw the 20 million shares that Berkshire had acquired for $345 million a decade ago surge to a value of $2.3 billion as a result of the deal. The merger raised the value of the investment by $400 million overnight...
...operations, did not agree. He told Casey, "I think we've been penetrated." Not until October 1986, however--almost a year after the CIA began to realize it had a serious problem--did it finally act to try to pinpoint the source of the trouble. George ordered Gus Hathaway, the counterintelligence chief, to appoint a small special task force to study the problem.

This is the biggest favor ever done to a subject by a writer, and Hagstrom has never...
...Poor's took all the attributes of a Buffett-type investment (consistent profitability, high return on equity, etc.) and programmed a computer to spit out the names of the companies that qualified. Thirty did, but only two of those stocks are actually found in Buffett's portfolio at Berkshire Hathaway. As the Standard & Poor's computer sees it, most of Buffett's biggest holdings, with the exception of U.S. Tobacco and Coca-Cola, shouldn't be there. This poses a problem: If you want to invest like Buffett, do you buy the stocks he owns--or the stocks a computer...
