Warren's Way - By James Surowiecki
Warren
Buffett’s tastes haven’t changed much over the years. “I like today what I
liked fifty years ago,” he told me the other day. “I like reading 10-Ks. I like
playing bridge. I haven’t acquired a lot of new habits. I was happy when I was
in my twenties, and I don’t see a reason to change things.” We were having
lunch with Carol Loomis, one of his closest friends, who is the editor of
“Tap-Dancing to Work,” a new anthology of Fortune
writings by and about Buffett. As if to illustrate his point, lunch was the
same lunch he’s probably been eating since he was a kid: a hamburger and fries,
followed by vanilla ice cream, “strong on the chocolate syrup.” It isn’t just
his tastes, though: as the new book shows, Buffett’s philosophy of investing
has stayed remarkably consistent.
