The Snowball: Chapters 5, 6, 7 & 8
By Saj Karsan. Warren Buffett chose Alice Schroeder to be his biographer, granting her access to his personal life like no outsider has ever been granted. In The Snowball, she is rather frank and is not always complimentary of the investing legend, which has apparently led to a rift between the two. Here follows a summary of the book. Read more » »

There is arguably no better time to buy property than during an economic recession as banks and other financial institutions are repossessing ‘distressed’ property at a rate of knots. As long as you are cash flush, the current property market presents fantastic opportunities for the astute buyer and investor.
When there is inordinate greed in any market, be it the property market or the JSE, it is wise to be fearful, but when there is fear in the market you should take a tip from Warren Buffett, one of the richest men in the world, and be greedy!
Insolvencies and liquidations on the rise
Recent statistics have revealed that the number of insolvencies and liquidations are set to spike and with less money and a lot less job security around, the negative sentiment presents unparalleled opportunities for those who are not at the mercy of banks.
Interestingly, more expensive properties are now being repossessed – an indication that the recession is clobbering all segments of the market – which presents great value for prospective buyers in the top end of the market .Clifton property, Llandudno property and Camps Bay property are all going at a global ‘steal’.
Although South Africa is very much part of the global economy, and indications are that we are not quite going to escape the latest market debacle unscathed, there are several mitigating factors for the local economy that may well salve some of the gaping wounds caused by the fiscal impropriety in the first world economies.
Government spending will increase value
The government’s commitment to infrastructure spending for the FIFA 2010 World Cup means that there will be a massive demand for property in the surrounding areas, which in turn will lead to an increase in the value of property close to the stadiums or the newly conceived BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) system.
South Africa boasts the fastest growing middle-class on the planet and, together with a free and fair election in April, many predict a boom in property prices by as early as next year.
If Hout Bay property with sweeping views of the bay is your dream or you’re seduced by the idea of beach front living, now is the time to bite the bullet and commit to property – it will always be an outstanding asset in any well balanced financial portfolio.

Warren Buffett – June 23, 09 – America’s “Economic War”
Warren Buffett comments on the fiancial crisis while attending Fortune Magazine’s “most powerful women” summit.
Have you ever heard of an economic moat? We have this term in our language thanks to Warren Buffett, one of the world’s most famous (and richest) investors. He took the idea from the way a moat protects a castle. The moat provides a barrier between the castle and the land around it, so no one and nothing can get in easily.
But how does this compare to an economic moat?
The term in this context refers to the advantages a business enjoys over its closest competitors. These advantages are economic and competitive in nature. The best example of an economic moat enjoyed by a company is if that company has a particular method or mode of doing business that cannot be replicated by its competitors.
For example, let’s say you and I both sell business cards independently of each other. I have found a supplier who will give me the basic stock for half the price we are both currently buying it for. This means I can knock down my prices, which in turn will probably give me a competitive advantage and form the economic moat that will separate me from you.
The chances are however that you will work out what I am doing eventually and go to the same supplier. This will get rid of my economic moat and we will be back in direct competition again.
A good example of an economic moat that cannot easily be broken down concerns Kentucky Fried Chicken. KFC has a secret recipe that no one knows, except for a select few within the company. This recipe is for the coating that goes on its chicken.
Every other competing company has its own recipe for a similar coating – but it is not the same and it never will be, because KFC’s recipe is protected. This recipe provides it with an economic moat that keeps it ahead of all the other fried chicken places in the world. When you think of buying fried chicken, the chances are you think of KFC. This is the power of the economic moat in action.
If you have a business of your own you need to think about how you can create your own economic moat. It is more powerful than you might realize, and once you have a good one it will give you the edge over your competition.
