Berkshire Hathaway
The company Warren Buffett built over sixty years and handed to Greg Abel in 2026, read in October 2026: what it owns and who owns it, the insurance float that funds everything at a negative cost, the railroad, the utilities, and the businesses, the portfolio and the cash, the five choices for every dollar, and the succession's first year. Where the subject argues with itself, over the conglomerate, the cash, and whether the machine was the man, each side's case comes before the course's reading. Three worked examples, from the value of float to Berkshire against the S&P 500 since 1965. Opens with the key numbers and a Who's Who.
