"Buffett's Early Investments" examines ten investments made by legendary investor Warren Buffett in the 1950s and 1960s, earning his first millions, and reveals unique insights into the process.

Using the same documents Buffett used when making these investments, the author reveals the fascinating stories:

• How Philadelphia and Reading, Buffett's largest investment in 1954, transformed from a declining coal company into a diversified giant, where its stock increased twentyfold thanks to the intervention of Buffett's mentor, Ben Graham.
• How Buffett and Charlie Munger made their first official investment together in Hochschild-Kohn.
• How corporate governance issues posed a serious risk in Buffett's 1966 investment in Walt Disney.

Other investments analyzed include American Express, British Columbia Power, Cleveland Worsted Mills, Greif Bros, Marshall-Wells, Studebaker, and Union Street Railway. Not all of these investments proved successful—the book shows why.

"Buffett's Early Investments" helps readers understand how the greatest investor in history truly created his returns during the years he posted his best numbers.
