What 30 Years With Warren Buffett Taught Me – Gisela Baur

Gisela Baur met Warren Buffett as a young German financial journalist in the 1990s. A 10-page letter got her to Omaha. At a baseball game he greeted her by name. She has followed him for almost 30 years since.

In this talk from the first Good Investing Night in Munich, she shares what she learned: Buffett’s memory, how fast he decides who joins his circle, why he keeps business simple, and Charlie Munger’s one-word secret. She also explains why she never bought Berkshire shares.
