Irregardless of all he has been an amazing investor. Read his book fascinating.

I feel very lucky to have picked up a few shares of BRK for about $3,000/share back in the 1980s!

Thank you but really, it was just luck.

I had a muscle car in the late 1960s while in my twenties. My family had State Farm as had I since I had started to drive. I had moved to the DC area, started working for the government, and discovered GEICO had really great rates for young drivers with clean driving records, especially with muscle cars, so I switched. As some point GEICO got into trouble and in the late 1970s Buffet got involved. As I was concerned about GEICO's viability I switched back to State Farm after my agent cleared me as not being canceled by GEICO which was happening right and left. How Buffet got involved with GEICO was quite a story so I started to follow BRK and as soon as I had some investable cash I bought a little BRK. Believe me, that was a lot of money for me at the time!

I believe his largest holding is AAPL.

Nothing wrong with luck but sometimes we make our own.
