Warren Buffett:Berkshire 1985 Letter, Excerpt 1

Warren Buffett《Berkshire Hathaway 1985 Letter to Shareholders》· 1985 Chairman's Letter · Investing

You may remember the wildly upbeat message of last year’s report: nothing much was in the works but our experience had been that something big popped up occasionally. This carefully- crafted corporate strategy paid off in 1985. Later sections of this report discuss (a) our purchase of a major position in Capital Cities/ABC, (b) our acquisition of Scott & Fetzer, (c) our entry into a large, extended term participation in the insurance business of Fireman’s Fund, and (d) our sale of our stock in General Foods.
