“It’s easy to overlook what I consider to be the critical lesson of the Mrs. B saga: at 93, Omaha based Board Chairmen have yet to reach their peak. Please file this fact away to consult before you mark your ballot at the 2024 annual meeting of Berkshire.” (From the 1986 Buffett’s letter to shareholders)…
Dear Partners, Friends, Intelligent Investors, In 2021 I spent an entire year almost completely alone to set up our investment “vehicle” in the best profitable way possible. Being so reclusive and withdrawn I found the time to study a lot and thinking about future investments and companies to buy. As a consequence, all this pondering…
Cari Amici, partners, intelligent investors, lo so è passato un mese e piu’ dalla promessa seconda parte dell’articolo su il metodo “Wooden” riguardante i dettagli, ispirato dall’incontro con Metheny. Qualcuno mi ha addirittura scritto, (wow!) raccontandomi di come sia alla ricerca dei libri di coach Wooden e rispondo subito dicendo: comprane uno, a caso, gli…
Nell’ estate del 1998 (o era il 1999?) ebbi la fortuna di scambiare un paio di battute con Pat Metheny (probabilmente uno dei piu’ grandi musicisti degli ultimi decenni) dopo un suo concerto a Testaccio a Roma, all’ex mattatoio.

This is probably the last article I write in english. The language you use and how you use it make a difference in what you have to say. Communication skills are important. For istance the language of business is Accounting. Its building blocks are numbers and numbers are important to evaluate a company. (Check out…
Dear Friends, Partners and Intelligent Investors, La forza di gravità del mercato è la combinazione di due influenze determinanti : l’inflazione e i tassi di interesse. L’azione della FED è volta a frenare l’inflazione (alzando i tassi) e “creando” un accenno di recessione o frenando l’economia americana che ha viaggiato dal 2020 ad oggi a velocità molto sostenuta. La…
Warren E. Buffett was born the 30th of august 1930 in Omaha, Nebraska. As we salute his 92nd birthday today we also humbly celebrate the 4th year of this blog and website. When in the sixties in London people wrote on the walls of the city : EC IS GOD (Eric Clapton is God) a…
“Personal History” is Katharine Graham’s autobiography. A memoir that shines for its honesty, the remarkable wide range of stories and people she met. I’m a voracious reader of biographies, and I found this one wonderful. The Washington Post saga is a lesson in business and life in itself that should be taught. It contains…
Let me be clear from the get-go: I’m not against business schools or formal training of any sort. You have to learn the basic tools and they will underpin all of your assumptions and decisions about investing and the market. But, and this is a big BUT, the way and the talent you may develop…
