Warren Buffett:Berkshire 1991 Letter, Excerpt 3

Warren Buffett《Berkshire Hathaway 1991 Letter to Shareholders》· 1991 Chairman's Letter · Investing

Our outsized gain in book value in 1991 resulted from a phenomenon not apt to be repeated: a dramatic rise in the price- earnings ratios of Coca-Cola and Gillette. These two stocks accounted for nearly $1.6 billion of our $2.1 billion growth in net worth last year. When we loaded up on Coke three years ago, Berkshire's net worth was $3.4 billion; now our Coke stock alone is worth more than that.
