“The Snowball” begins with a Buffett presentation to an elite 1999 group at Sun Valley, suggesting in a humorous manner that the “.com” frenzy was no more than a bubble. Then, its on to learning why his associate Charles Munger (an inseparable partner since 1959) is both the opposite and highly similar to Buffett. Warren Buffett, we learn comes from a heritage of very thrifty small business owners.
Unfortunately, his mother was somewhat unbalanced, directing frequent tirades at Warren and his sister, creating a lifelong need for the approval of women. Calculating the comparative life spans of religious song writers while in church led Warren towards religious skepticism at an early age.
