The Essays of Warren Buffett SUMMARY Chapter 8 –Accounting Policy

If you think otherwise, just ask employees severed from their jobs which company was the conqueror and which was the conquered. You will find no confusion.

We will attempt to lump major business activities in ways that aid analysis but do not swamp you with detail.

Nevertheless, what is important in the end is the tax rate at the time we sell securities, when unrealized appreciation becomes realized.

D. Retiree Benefits

A CEO didn’t need to be a medical expert to know that lengthening life expectancies and soaring health costs would guarantee an insurer a financial battering from such a business.
