We’ve been fans of Michael Lewis since ‘Moneyball’ and still follow his monthly contributions to VF. Even if you have no interest (no pun) in reading articles relating to our financial meltdown, this one is worth your time.

Every year, Warren Buffet pens one of the most honest letters on market conditions to the shareholders of Berkshire Hathaway, a NYSE traded holding company. Mr. Buffet’s experience and humor makes this one of the most anticipated publications for thousands of investment professionals and individual investors alike. His track record speaks for itself and no, we don’t currently own shares.

Buffet once said he’d never invest in a tech company but bought 100 shares of Microsoft so he would get their annual report. His friendship with Bill Gates transcends the bridge game they share, he will leave all of his money to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
