Five Biggest Trades During the Partnership Years

While Buffett is currently known as a friendly investor who abhors hostile takeovers, in his early years, he was a very different investor. In addition, he often bought businesses with no durable competitive advantages, and he could have been considered a corporate raider because he would buy shares in a company to force management to make the changes he wanted. Buffett likes to call his early investing strategy, “cigar butt investing,” but the term “cigar butt” is a euphemism, and the “free puff”, he discusses, from the cigar butt typically involves liquidating a business.

Despite being very different from his current investing strategy, the cigar butt years helped shape his later life as Buffett learned that he did not enjoy being labeled the bad guy who liquidated businesses. This documentary series, features Buffett’s early years interlaced with 5 key trades that helped to make him the fourth richest person today.

"The Chains of Habit Are Too Light To Be Felt Until They Are Too Heavy To Be Broken" - W.Buffett. Wow just wow even if he wasn't the one to coin the term he definitely used it and applied it heavily to his life and in his investing. From "corporate raider" buying and bullying companies to his advantages to being everyones beloved investor. Mr Warren Buffett you truly are not only mine but everyones idol. Thank you TMIO for this video and please keep pumping out these high quality content. :)

I find it odd, that every source that covers warren starts his timeline when he buys Berkshire. I like that in these two videos you cover his trades that he did before Berkshire Hattaway. As I find personally that finding Warren Buffett's history hard to find. It doesn't help that every source is different. Keep up the good content I love this channel, you cover things in great detail !
