“A recently released 1975 letter offers new insight into how early Buffett was to grasp both the difficulties of pension fund management and the inability of Wall Street to provide adequate solutions. Perhaps even more valuable is the way the letter throws light on Buffett’s approach to value investing. Buffett tries to act not like a typical fund manager but like a company owner thinking about buying another company. The crucial ingredients: patience, to get a good purchase price; courage, to stick with your investment if the business is doing well but the market doesn’t agree; and a willingness to sell into a bubble when, as so often happens, one comes along.”
