Warren Buffett:Berkshire 1989 Letter, Excerpt 2

Warren Buffett《Berkshire Hathaway 1989 Letter to Shareholders》· 1989 Chairman's Letter · Investing

Back when Berkshire's book value was $19.46, intrinsic value was somewhat less because the book value was entirely tied up in a textile business not worth the figure at which it was carried. Now most of our businesses are worth far more than their carrying values. This agreeable evolution from a discount to a premium means that Berkshire's intrinsic business value has compounded at a rate that somewhat exceeds our 23.8% annual growth in book value.
