Hi Amrita, I'm glad you like it. I have started questioning my choices and these insights have helped me understand my decisions and actions better and helped me a lot. It makes you slow down in a good way.

Wow, I have never thought that my hormones could play with my financial decision.... Last summer I read and learned more about hormones and digestion and I know, that our digestion affects our brain activities... why not our decisions. :) Great article! Thank you

Thanks a lot for your comment. The food topic sound very interesting. See, now I've learned something new as well. Could you point me to the book? Would love to read more about it.

Best work on Berkshire is Chris Bloomstran's annual letter, which can be found at his Semper Augustus web site. Other than that you have to drill down in Berkshire’s financial statements

It also helps to have an insurance/reinsurance platform with regulations that allow for the investment of policyholder funds in common stocks, something the Oracle can do but for some reason most other insurance and reinsurance companies are prohibited from doing by regulation. Having the leverage of float amplifies what has been fairly mediocre stock picking over the past two decades
