Parsad Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 Based on all the stuff Alice Schroeder wrote about Buffett's mother, I'm guessing he was adopted and this was his birth mother! What a fantastic lady! Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ballinvarosig Investors Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 That brought back memories of one of the smartest female investors that I've known, my Granny. When she lived in the United States when she was young, she invested in stocks like General Electric, AT&T and General Motors in the 50's/60's/70's and basically sat on them until she could use the huge profits to enjoy a comfortable retirement. A great company at a fair price will more than look after itself in the long-term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
