The (book in the) 2020 letter from Warren Buffett to Berkshire Hathaway investors

I’ve already blogged about Buffet’s annual letters twice: in 2018 I wrote about a few quotes, and in 2019 I wrote about some lessons learned.

Also, having the book makes it easier to share with friends that could benefit from the knowledge (kind of part of my idea when I bought it).

And I say “finally finished” because it was hard to go through it, I was a bit disappointed but I still got a few good things out of it (details towards the end). Continue reading “The Millionaire next door (book review)”
