I doubt he was walking through the factory floors of every company he considered. That kind of approach can’t scale. I think he might have done something like that but without being physically there for companies that he narrowed down to 1 or 2. Specially before he was warren buffet. Company’s don’t allow (give time of the day) to rando’s who are investors and want to evaluate them
- bouncing 8y agoActually, yeah, he probably does. His approach doesn't scale -- not at all. He bets big on individual companies. As much as Berkshire Hathaway has scaled, it's by having employees who are similarly _involved_ in the process. They aren't armchair investors -- not now and not in the past. And no, companies don't give tours to randos. You have to do it with a lot of money on the table. Buffet isn't rags to riches; he's medium-rich to super-rich, and he got his start in much smaller businesses.
