Warren Buffet And Niederhoffer
The Efficient Market Hypothesis: A Case Study of Warren Buffet and Niederhoffer by Yiran Wei,
Danish Zubair, Xuan Yan, Shu Wang, Sohail Subhan This essay attempts to introduce the meaning
of EMH and its implications for practitioners. The disagreement of EMH of Buffet will be
mentioned and the contagion, anomalies, trading rules and the work of Niederhoffer will be
explained as well. The Efficient Market Hypothesis: A Case Study of Warren Buffet and
Niederhoffer The EMH supposes that the capital market should be a level game for all players.
Herein, all information consequential to an investor's decision is incorporated in determination and
fixation of share prices. This is irrespective of whether it has been made public or not, as long as any
single investor is aware of its existence. As such there is no chance of overpricing or underprizing of
shares (Gili, Cheng–few & Basin 2008). With any new information, the change is instantly effected.
Prediction, according to the premise, is a mere episode of chance. Today, some of the world's
business moguls have seemingly done the impossible by overtaking the market alteration. This has
made them reap great benefits from capital market trading and obviously evoked doubts on the
authenticity of this proposition. Warren Buffett Case Study Warren Buffett is an inspiring subject in
this respect and it is with good reason. He has beaten the market successively and consistently over

Warren E. Buffett is to measure performance by gain in intrinsic value on a per–share basis, not
accounting profit. In my viewpoint, this would not be true since both individual and the whole
performance should be taken into account. The fifth sentence would be how much value we should
use for the risk and discount rate. Buffett asserted that his investment is with certainty. Therefore, he
used the rate of 30–year US Treasury bond as a discount rate. By all means, this would be wrong
according to the academic study that says all investments have difference degrees of risks but if he
can be definitely sure that his investment is analogous to be risk–free, it might be possible that this
rate is till appropriate. The sixth point that Mr. Buffett disagreed with is diversification. To be
honest, I would like to divide investors into two groups, one is big and the other is small. For a small
investor, diversification would undoubtedly cost so much that it is better to concentrate on one or
two stocks. Nevertheless, it would be more terrific for a big investor to diversify not only because of
reducing the firm–specific risk, but also the market risk by investing stocks with correlation not
equal to one. Hence, this statement still remains some questions. Nevertheless, if we look the
investments of Berkshire Hathaway, it does diversify its business in insurance, apparel, building
products, finance and even flight

Jordan 's Furniture Company Of Warren Buffet
Jordan's Furniture started as a small furniture business in 1928 in Waltham, MA. Two grandsons of
the original owner, Samuel Tatelman, took over the business in the 1970s. They have expanded the
business to four mega stores and from 8 employees to 1,200 employees as of 2011. In 1999, the
company was sold to a subsidiary company of Warren Buffet. So how does a furniture store go from
selling furniture out of the back of a truck in 1928 to being owned by Warren Buffet? Very creative
marketing on behalf of the Barry and Eliot Tatelman. Their grandfather, Samuel, started Jordan's

As a reward for the loyalty and success of all the employees, after the sale, the Tatelman took every
employee to Bermuda for a day. Also, they gave each employee $.50 for every hour they have
worked while at Jordan's Furniture, which for some, was about $20,000 (Miller, 1999). When the
Tatelman brothers took over the business, they changed their mode of advertising. They realized that
by limiting their advertising to newspapers, they were potentially missing out on a whole
demographic of people that needed furniture, which would be 18–34 year olds. This demographic
was starting to move out on their own, starting families, and needed furniture. By moving from
newspapers to funny radio ads and later funny TV ads, Barry and Eliot were able to draw in more
customers, especially the demographic they were targeting (Iacobucci, 2013). Before they started to
add in the extra shopping experiences, they had customers waiting to get into their third store. Once
they added the entertainment portions of the store, they were able to draw in more customers. Even
if the customer is only there to take part in the entertainment aspect of the store, which is in the back
of every store, they do have to walk through the showroom first. By walking through the showroom
a first time customer could see a room design or one piece of furniture that catches their eye. Each
customer has a different shopping experience, whether it be at one store or multiple Jordan's

College Freshman
College Freshman – How NOT to Gain Weight
Starting college life is far from difficult; in fact it is fun starting a new way of life. Life without the
constant objections from your parents and annoyance from your little sibling is one of the many
advantages you gain from college. Cancelled classes, late night parties and deleterious amounts of
food make college enjoyable; however, this can lead to weight gain. "Freshman 15" is not a myth
and although you may not be unfortunate enough to gain 15 pounds, you might gain some weight.
To avoid gaining weight, freshmen should eat healthy, avoid alcohol, and maintain a positive moral.

College students are known to drink even though half of them are under the age of 21; age has never
been a factor to stop someone from drinking and partying. As freshmen, students want to try
everything and be wrapped up in the party life; therefore hangovers become a way of life. In order
to avoid nausea and an awful headache, students should be responsible in how they drink and how
often they do it. Most importantly, they should steer clear from the consumption of alcohol.
Depression and anxiety are often the causes of weight gain. "Weight gain can... be attributed to high
levels of anxiety brought on by lifestyle changes and even students being homesick." (Browder)
Although many students do not quickly admit to this, at the beginning of school they feel homesick
and sometimes eat more, simply lacking a better choice of activity. This problem is quickly resolved
after they start meeting people and making new friends. And as for stress; there are counselors,
advisors, and techniques that help mitigate it.
Freshmen are overwhelmed by new lives and the availability of wonderful, fattening food, but if
they watch what they eat, avoid alcohol and exercise they will have much less to worry about.
Students should enjoy and not dread college life. They should leave with friendships and good
memories not honey buns and beer bellies.

exceptional investment opportunities is much easier said than done. 3) Risk and Return Pros –
Warren Buffett differed from conventional thinking by using only the rate of return on the long–term
U.S. Treasury bond to discount cash flows. He ignored a risk–premium component of CAPM
because he invested in only businesses that have predictable and stable earnings. Thus, There as no

It is importance because it can be measure the ability to earn returns in excess of the cost of capital,
rather than the accounting profit, which can know the attractiveness of a business. Furthermore, the
gain in intrinsic value could be modeled as the value added by a business above and beyond the
charge for the use of capital in that business. On the other hand, the alternatives to intrinsic value are
accounting profit, performance, firm size, etc. But, Buffett reject accounting profit as a measurement
mainly because the accounting reality was conservative, backward looking, governed by GAAP,

assets for a business such as patents, trademarks, expertise, reputation, etc. He believed that

In August up to the announcement, the Berkshire Hathaway had been closing at an average of
$24,753. This shows that the announcement had a direct impact of the stock price.
The reason for the increase in the stock price in Berkshire Hathaway was dependant on several
factors. With the GEICO stock rising with $12.875 to $68.625 on the New York Stock Exchange,
Geico Hathaway gained approximately $440 million on their 34.25 million shares in GEICO. With
the gain from the upcoming deal with Walt Disney Company, as well as the publication of the Value
Line Forecast for GEICO, it is understandable that the Berkshire Hathaway stock rose. Another
factor that also comes into play in this case is the famous track record of Warren Buffett when it
comes to investing.
Conclusion: The increase in Berkshire Hathaway was a response from the markets valuation of
GEICO Company to increase, the reinvestments of the money that would be gained on the future
sales of Capital Cities/ABC, as well as the markets trust in Warren Buffett's investments to be
successful.
B) How well has Berkshire Hathaway performed? In the aggregate? In its investment in Scott

Mcdonaldization Of Our College Campuses: Photograph Analysis
As humans, we are largely responsive to visual cues such as pictures or videos. Pictures can make us
feel happy, excited, disgusted, and curious about the world around us. Overall an image can go a
long way in terms of helping us understand information and society overall. For my presentation, I
decided to take a photo of the dining hall. I think the dining hall is a great example of a very
prevalent and modern concept of the McDonaldization. I will go over how my photo relates to the
McDonaldization of our college campuses.
Like previously stated I have taken a photo of our dining hall. In my photo, you can clearly see two
female college students at the food bar making themselves a salad. If you look further in the photo
you can see some ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
The term was used to show how the principles of the fast food industry have come to dominate all
parts of American society and the rest of the world. The main idea of McDonaldization is the
process of taking a task and breaking it down into smaller tasks. This is repeated until all tasks have
been broken down to the smallest possible level. The result is an efficient and logical sequence of
tasks that can be completed in the same way almost every time to produce the desired outcome.
What we can learn from my photo from a social sense is that McDonaldization has caused an over
rationalization in society. This photo shows how we as people have continued to find new and
innovate ways to break down task make them more efficient, predictable, reliable and use less
human technology. This photo shows how subtly McDonaldization has affected every facet of our
lives. Our culture continues to value efficiency, predictability, and quantity. Especially young people
specifically college students having limited amount time in their day having things be time efficient
and cost effective come as second nature to us. Also, compare this photo to what happens when you
enter a place like Moe's Grill. Workers shout welcome to Moe's when you enter. The workers shout
out a phrase like this because they are merely following a corporate script. This the major concept of
Mcdonlzation following a script of efficiency in order to make your business operate as effective a
possible. I think the biggest take away from this photo is the idea of McDonaldization of
universities. The idea of focused curricula, delivering degrees in a fast–track pick and mix fashion to
satisfy all tastes. Rather than focusing and continuing to work with students to expand make sure
they understand the knowledge being presented to them many colleges are forced to fast track

There can be many variations of the Buffet Service. It can be either country casual or semi–formal.
It provides a more relaxed method of dining and a more varied menu than a full service meal.
The entertaining buffet presentation of food can be placed on one or more tables close but away
from the tables where the guests will be seated during dinner. The guests will go to the buffet tables
and serve themselves from a variety of menu items. There are hot buffets and cold buffets. Cold
buffets are typically salads and sandwiches. Also the backyard barbeque can be a Buffet Service. An
entertaining dessert bar can be used for an afternoon gathering of friends.
The Buffet Service can have a staff where the guests bring their own plate along the buffet line and
are given a portion from a server at one or more stations. An advantage of buffets is that guests have
the ability to review food before selecting it and taking only the quantity needed. Since a buffet
involves people serving them it is less elegant than Table Service. Buffet Service is used anytime
there are large gatherings even at many formal wedding receptions.
Buffet means to feed large number of people at one time. In chevaliers we provide a buffet service

decide which one is the best. There are breakfast places, there are lunch places, there are dinner

The Best Buffet Restaurant Essay
The Best Buffet Restaurant
Do you need some place to go eat after church or just to hang out with friends? Golden Corral is the
kind of place you can go to hang out with your friends and chill. The restaurant usually gets so busy
on weekends that you will not have a space to park your car. If you want, you are welcome to park
in the back, but it is a long walk to the entrance. The food is worth the walk, and many people do not
mind because they love bringing their families to this restaurant on weekends. It is one of the best
buffets in Omaha. They offer not only great service, but a fun atmosphere for eating with friends or
family, and at a reasonable price.
As you head toward the entrance of the restaurant, you will see hosts standing in the lobby to greet
people with bright smiles on their faces. The hosts ask how many are eating and once you tell them
the number, and pay at the entrance, the host will asks where you would like to sit. The restaurant
has red, smooth, comfortable leather booths, which the guest can sit in. Furthermore, people have a
choice between sitting down in the back or near a window. The restaurant is enormous and has
attractive colors which make the room spacious, a lot of interesting pictures, and other decorations
on the walls. The entire restaurant is packed with people eating, sharing laughter, and enjoying their

Every student has a preferred a place, which he or she loves to eat at. The best cafeteria I like to go

Davis and Elkins 'cafeteria is the most exquisite place to eat and is in fact the most excellent

Rightly called as the "Oracle of Omaha", Warren Buffet is the guru of investments and one of the
wealthiest and revered businessmen in the world. With a net worth of $72.7 Billion, he is the third
richest man in the world as of 2015. Warren Buffet is an out and out self–made man. He is the
epitome of discipline and wisdom in the investment arena. So how did he reach this pinnacle? His
life story shows he has grown from a boy with a simple childhood to a teen who learnt from his
mistakes; then to a man with successful entrepreneurships and ultimately to a magnanimous
business magnate.

Soon with the profits of the single pinball machine, he could buy 8 more and installed it in other

more profits.
Through his education in University of Pennsylvania, University of Nebraska and Columbia school
of business, he learnt a lot of things for life. He developed a penchant for economics & investments.
After working for 2 years as an analyst in Graham–Newman Corp. under his mentor, he started his
own firm Buffet partnership Ltd. at Omaha in 1956. With his most noted skill of lifting undervalued
companies, he uplifted many small scale businesses and soon became a billionaire. One such
company was Berkshire Hathaway which he acquired slowly by buying its shares. Soon he
expanded his empire across various arenas such as media, insurance and oil by buying companies
such as The Washington post, Geico and Exxon respectively.
In recent times, Warren Buffett pulled off his biggest deal ever in August 2015, when his Berkshire
Hathaway agreed to pay a record $37 billion for Precision Castparts, a maker of aerospace and
industrial parts. Lately he 's also teamed up in various ways with 3G Capital–a firm run by several

Is Warren Buffet A Good Leader Essay
This may seem like a very common and vague question on the subject of leadership. But let's
explore it in a different way. People have searched for this question for years and it can sometimes
be felt that we are nowhere close to the answer. Some say it's the oratory skills, some say it's the

Mahatma Gandhi a good leader? Is Warren Buffet a good leader? The list goes on.
Human civilization began evolving when they started living together in tribes. It was then when
humans started showing trust and co–operation amongst their tribe members. It was the trust that

Food Issues At Stetson University
There are many devastating food issues in society; the same is true on college campuses. Problems
such as food waste, nutrition problems, and affordability are only a few of the troubles intertwined
with food. A college campus is much like a small city, it's residents, the students produce a lot of
food waste like anyone else, and if the university does not actively seek to combat the problem of
food waste, it will run ramped. Every day, on the campus of Stetson University, roughly 3,000
students eat on campus. Thus, it can be a massive and complicated problem to solve; however,
making small changes to become proactive in the problem will make a sizeable impact.
Stetson University may not have vast food options, yet for a small campus, it has a decently large
quantity. The school contains the standard school cafeteria, but it also offers a couple of chain
restaurants such as Johnny Rockets, Einstein's Bagels, a Food Truck, and a partially licensed
Starbucks. I live on campus; as a result, I eat on campus nearly every day so what types of food and
the health choices the school makes directly affects me, as I am not able to eat off campus too often.
The food truck is always interesting as it has a different regional food theme each week, so it is
always fun to see what is the theme of the week. The other restaurants have a set menu as they are
not a university–owned chain, but they still offer a wide list of options. Unfortunately, some of the
options on campus are not too healthy. The cafeteria serves about half healthy and has unhealthy
foods, so sometimes it can be very tempting to make unhealthy nutrition choices. Although they do
attempt to display the healthy homemade style foods at the front and the unhealthy pizza and desert–
like foods towards the back. It is important for the university to take an active approach in assisting
students who strive to eat healthily.
Typically, I eat breakfast every day at Einstein's Bagels, and my other two meals at the cafeteria or
the food truck. It is rare for me to purchase anything from Starbucks or Johnny Rockets. In the
cafeteria I generally eat healthy, nutritious options, I eat quite a bit of vegetables and meat only a

Warren Buffet Code Of Conduct
Business conduct. It's a term we frequently hear used these days, sometimes associated with good
workplaces or community involvement, sometimes because of misconduct by those in business. The
term is really a misnomer; a business has no conduct of its own, only that of the people who work
there. It's our conduct, our personal conduct that determines the behaviors we practice, the character
of our business, and the reputation we keep. That last item, reputation, is really important. It takes
many years of consistently good conduct to create a good reputation. It takes one mistake, one poor
judgment, to wreck that reputation. Warren Buffet, one of our nation's most astute business leaders,
says that "the top priority–trumping everything else, including profits–is that all of us continue to
zealously guard the Company's reputation." It sounds like something Jeff Biskup would say. I know

Both have huge investment in very long–lived, regulated assets, with these partially funded by large

requirements. In last year's tepid economy, BNSF's interest coverage (pre–tax earnings/interest, not
EBITDA/interest, a commonly–used measure they view as deeply flawed) was 9.6x. Two key
factors ensure MidAmerican's ability to service debt under all circumstances: the company's
recession–resistant earnings, which result from its exclusively offering an essential service and its
great diversity of earnings streams, which shield it from being seriously harmed by any single

carries about 15% (measured by ton–miles) of all inter–city freight, whether is transported by truck,

Warren Edward Buffett, who was often called the "Oracle of Omaha" or the "Sage of Omaha", born
August, 30th 1930 in Omaha, Nebraska. In his early age, Mr. Buffet started working in his
grandfather's grocery store. He purchased his first stock at age 11, which he ended up making a
five–dollar profit on this investment. At age 14, he started working as a newspaper delivery boy. He
got his bachelor's degree from The University of Nebraska. Mr. Buffett graduated from Columbia
Business School and earned M.S. in Economics in 1951. Shortly after completing college, Warren

Its sale has grown from a few thousand dollars to more than $107 billion. In the late 1970, it was
Mr. Buffett's decision to expand into insurance operations. Today, the company's insurance operation
is a major source of capital for Berkshire Hathaway's other investments.
When Buffett made a decision in expanding into insurance, the insurance industry was a booming
business. He always made sure Berkshire's insurance companies maintained capital strength at
exceptionally high levels. This strength differentiated Berkshire's insurance companies from their
competitors. Again this proves his market acumen and visionary ability which helped to see future
trend and understand business well ahead of other rivals.
After Warren Buffett converted Berkshire Hathaway from a textile to an insurance company, he
started doing strategic acquisition. Initially he looked for reinsurance companies in the United States
that had sound management, but were in need of capital to expand. In today's economic
uncertainties, Buffett's saying will remain a guiding principal for all investors:
"Be fearful when others are greedy; be greedy when others are scared for their capital". Mr. Buffett
started expanding Berkshire Hathaway's business into life, accident and health reinsurers. He did

The World Should Be Mandatory
Imagine a world where trash covers the ground like a thick blanket of smelly snow. People trudge
through the streets knee–deep in decaying McDonald's wrappers, cigarette butts, squished water
bottles, and sticky chewing gum. The sky is a consistent murky grey color and the only color comes
from the faded neon fast food and gas station signs that dot the streets. Disney–Pixar films made this
idea an unfortunate reality in the movie Wall–E, the story of a lone robot whose only job is to clean
up the mounds of trash and litter left behind by humans. While this fictional tale is quickly on the
way to becoming reality, there is a way to reverse the path. Instead of throwing piles of trash out the
window while cruising down the highway, people should be recycling and putting their trash to a
more productive use. Recycling throughout the world should be mandatory in order to cut down on
landfill buildup and prevent the planet from being covered in waste. When we scrape off our dishes
after a large meal, to full to finish the remaining scraps on our plate, we rarely pause and think about
the significance of our action. Doing so, it seems routine to us if we have left over food scraps that
are unfit to be eaten, shouldn't they be thrown in the garbage? The problem is bigger than we think

5. – Please critically assess Buffett´s investment philosophy, and prepare to identify points where
you agree and disagree with him.
A favor:
* Ver el valor económico y no el contable. * Valuar activos intangibles como son las patentes,
proyectos y la gente que dirige a la compañía. * El valor intrínseco de los activos, por ejemplo el
valor de una licenciatura el cual no se mide en lo que te costo la universidad, si no en los flujos
futuros que generes por el conocimiento obtenido. * La diversificación no es lo más importante para
mitigar el riesgo
En contra:
* Menciona que nunca hay que dejarse llevar por el "Random Walk" pero actualmente muchos
inversionistas coinciden en que ese método ha funcionado. * No usar el financiamiento con deuda. *
Enfocarse sólo en compañías que puedan predecir utilidades estables.

The Wizard Of Omah The Life And Success Of Warren Buffet
The Wizard of Omaha: The life and Success of Warren Buffet Warren Buffet was born in Omaha,
Nebraska on August 30th 1930. Warren was the only son of both a congressman in Howard Buffet
but also the owner of an investment firm which was nearly bankrupted following the stock market
crash of 1929. Adversity in the childhood of Buffet was prevalent because of the financial hold the
post depression effects had on his family. Buffet grew up with his mind both fixated on money, and
the calculations of compounding dollars. Warren had a niche for business from the young age of 6
where he purchased Coca–Cola bottles at a rate of six for a quarter, and sold them individually for a
nickel a piece. This does not show much in terms of large gains or ... Show more content on

At the time these shares were 38$ each. Warren saw the shares drop much lower in value, but
Warren held on and eventually sold the shares at 40$ only to see those same shares rise to 200$ just
a few years after he sold them off. Warren uses this example one of the key aspects to help him get
to the top because it taught him the importance of patience, and to invest for long term. Two things
that stuck with Buffet, because when he invests he is doesn't get super excited about the health and
success of a business now, but he thinks of where they will be in twenty years. Warren's investment
technique was far–sighted and he looked into the future, giving him great instrumental values
overall. I think this is something we all can learn from and myself especially, because patience is
something that can be applied to all aspects of both business, but also personal character which was
a strength of Buffet. The true moment that defined Warren Buffet as a youth, that would eventually
set the path for his success occurred when he attended Columbia University. It was during a class
taught by the Dean of Value Investing, Benjamin Graham. Benjamin Graham and Buffet
immediately connected as intellectuals and Graham later ended up guiding Buffet in his career of
investing. After graduating Warren persistently bothered Graham to hire him at Graham's Wall Street

Suwannee is one of two large dining halls here on the FSU campus. Considering its proximity to my
residence hall, it's the one I visit the most. The origin of the word "Suwannee" comes from the
Tumucua Indian language and has a variety of meanings depending on who is asked. This suggests
that the institution is affiliated and supports the Native American culture. As you enter, you are
greeted with a long corridor, that is filled with symbolic memorabilia and pictures that represent the
Florida State University. This suggests that most people attending this dining hall are connected via
the institution.
The first activity of this event is paying for the meals. There is one member of the staff who collects
the money and once the hungry consumers' cards are swiped, they are allowed to enter. The room
has high ceilings with darkly stained wooden beams creating a baroque, yet elegant atmosphere.
Food is served in a buffet style on a first come first serve basis. There seems to be no discrimination
or division upon who is allowed to eat first and who gets more food. There are a variety of different
stations containing different types of food. The culinary diversity shows that this culture takes in to
account individual diversity, as well as cultural diversity. There is loud pop–music playing which
muffles the dull roar of social chitchat. There is an understood social etiquette, as most people are
not yelling or causing a commotion, and when someone does make "too much noise"

Warren Buffet: Junk Bonds of the 1980's and His Analysis...
Discuss Buffett's analysis of the junk bond failures of the 1980s.What is Buffett's view of the role to
be played by investment bankers? |
In regards to investing in stocks, bonds, currencies, or other investment products, it has always been
a normal emotion to be happy when a stock price rose and upset when a stock price fell. Yet for
Warren Buffet and his team at Berkshire they welcome these declining prices because of the
opportunities it brings. According to Warren Buffet, a true investor would be buying stocks and
businesses for their entire life, and "with these intentions, declining prices for businesses benefit us,
and rising prices hurt us." Understanding that the investor is going to be a buyer for eternity an
investor should ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Quickly these corporations became known as the Fallen Angels and they were looking to rebound in
any way possible. Operating managers at the time believed the corporations would rebound fairly
easily because corporations would have no choice but to put all their attention on controlling their
debt. However, in a situation such as this, close precision and execution is required otherwise the
smallest mistake can lead to failure. According to Warren Buffet, "a plan that requires dodging them
all is a plan for disaster." The accumulation of debt continued to rise and not even the healthiest of
corporations could obtain the capital to finance it. Even though businesses continued to suffer from
accumulating debt, Investment Bankers noted that researchers found over time "higher interest rates
received from low grade bonds had more than compensated for their higher rate of default." From
this information, Investment Bankers saw this accumulation of debt as an opportunity for investors.
They concluded it was beneficial to have a diversified portfolio of junk bonds because the returns
would be higher than a portfolio of high grade bonds. However Warren Buffet disagrees and
discovered a hole in this fundamental approach by the Investment Bankers.
According to the research presented the, "the assumption was being made that the universe of newly
minted bonds was identical to the universe of low grade

"Someone's sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago"
– Warren Buffet
Values and Self–Discipline: Warren Buffet is widely respected not only for his business acumen but
also because he always been a model of integrity and believed in values. While the world is driven
by thirst for exponentially increasing money, Warren Buffet stands solid on his values and is very
frugal while investing. This is not only because he is disciplined but also because he understands
that careless spending has an impact on the investors.
Despite the fact that he is one of the world's richest persons, he still resides in the same house in
Omaha, Nebraska that he bought in 1958 for $31,500. (8) He has been earning a base salary of
$100,000 since the past 25 years. He has also promised 99% of his wealth ($50bn) to the Gates
Foundation. All these attributes speak voluminously about how generous and humble Mr. Buffet is.
"We can afford to lose money – even a lot of money, we cannot afford to lose reputation – even a
shred of reputation...It takes 20 years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it."
– Warren Buffet

he treats his employees. He maintains professionalism at all times and considers the stakeholders as
the owners of the company and treats them very respectfully. He trusts his employees and allows
them to have complete autonomy on their roles.

Leadership Style Of Warren Buffet Essay
Leadership Style Warren Buffet is the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Berkshire Hathaway
(http://www.berkshirehathaway.com), a holding company for several businesses (Berkshire
Hathaway, n.d.). Fortune Editors (2014) named Warren Buffett number four on The World's 50
Greatest Leaders (2014) list for his leadership techniques with his 300,000 employees. Buffett is
also a proponent for philanthropy and earmarks Berkshire Hathaway shares to distribute to several
foundations annually (Berkshire Hathaway Inc., n.d.). In 2014, Buffett led his followers with a
hands–off style empowering his managers to act as owners (Fortune Editors, 2014). However,
Buffett did not begin his career with a hands–off style; his leadership techniques evolved as he
became a seasoned CEO. Over time, Buffett shifts from a unilateral power to a mutual power (Kelly,
2013). Unilateral Power Kelly (2013) segments Buffett's leadership transition into seven stages:
opportunist, diplomat, expert, achiever, individualist, strategist, and alchemist. During the first four
stages, Buffett concerned himself with growing his investment and not on the impact of the
organization's reputation, employees' welfare, or community and is why this category is unilateral
power (Kelly, 2013). In the early 1960's, his transactional leadership style tarnished his reputation
following the sale of Dempster Mill (Kelly, 2013). Dempster Mill Dempster Mill was a farm
equipment manufacturing company Buffett took control of

Warren Buffet And Niederhoffer The Efficient Market Hypothesis: A Case Study of Warren Buffet and Niederhoffer by Yiran Wei, Danish Zubair, Xuan Yan, Shu Wang, Sohail Subhan This essay attempts to introduce the meaning of EMH and its implications for practitioners. The disagreement of EMH of Buffet will be mentioned and the contagion, anomalies, trading rules and the work of Niederhoffer will be explained as well. The Efficient Market Hypothesis: A Case Study of Warren Buffet and Niederhoffer The EMH supposes that the capital market should be a level game for all players. Herein, all information consequential to an investor's decision is incorporated in determination and fixation of share prices. This is irrespective of whether it has been made public or not, as long as any single investor is aware of its existence. As such there is no chance of overpricing or underprizing of shares (Gili, Cheng–few & Basin 2008). With any new information, the change is instantly effected. Prediction, according to the premise, is a mere episode of chance. Today, some of the world's business moguls have seemingly done the impossible by overtaking the market alteration. This has made them reap great benefits from capital market trading and obviously evoked doubts on the authenticity of this proposition.

Also, the bid price for PacifiCorp is $9.4 billion. After knowing this announcement, Berkshire Hathaway's Class A shares price went up and make them gained in market value $2.17 billion. In Berkshire and other investors' point of view, After Berkshire takeover PacifiCorp, it might have a good development and future so that the stock price went up. Berkshire believed that PacifiCorp can have good earning returns in the future. The intrinsic value is more valuable than its cost so they are willing to pay $9.4 billion to acquire. Moreover, based on the multiples ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Warren E. Buffett is to measure performance by gain in intrinsic value on a per–share basis, not accounting profit. In my viewpoint, this would not be true since both individual and the whole performance should be taken into account. The fifth sentence would be how much value we should use for the risk and discount rate. Buffett asserted that his investment is with certainty. Therefore, he used the rate of 30–year US Treasury bond as a discount rate. By all means, this would be wrong according to the academic study that says all investments have difference degrees of risks but if he can be definitely sure that his investment is analogous to be risk–free, it might be possible that this rate is till appropriate. The sixth point that Mr. Buffett disagreed with is diversification. To be honest, I would like to divide investors into two groups, one is big and the other is small. For a small investor, diversification would undoubtedly cost so much that it is better to concentrate on one or two stocks. Nevertheless, it would be more terrific for a big investor to diversify not only because of reducing the firm–specific risk, but also the market risk by investing stocks with correlation not equal to one. Hence, this statement still remains some questions. Nevertheless, if we look the investments of Berkshire Hathaway, it does diversify its business in insurance, apparel, building products, finance and even flight ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Two grandsons of the original owner, Samuel Tatelman, took over the business in the 1970s. They have expanded the business to four mega stores and from 8 employees to 1,200 employees as of 2011. In 1999, the company was sold to a subsidiary company of Warren Buffet. So how does a furniture store go from selling furniture out of the back of a truck in 1928 to being owned by Warren Buffet? Very creative marketing on behalf of the Barry and Eliot Tatelman. Their grandfather, Samuel, started Jordan's Furniture in 1918 out of the back of a truck. In 1928, he opened the first storefront.

As a reward for the loyalty and success of all the employees, after the sale, the Tatelman took every employee to Bermuda for a day. Also, they gave each employee $.50 for every hour they have worked while at Jordan's Furniture, which for some, was about $20,000 (Miller, 1999). When the Tatelman brothers took over the business, they changed their mode of advertising. They realized that by limiting their advertising to newspapers, they were potentially missing out on a whole demographic of people that needed furniture, which would be 18–34 year olds. This demographic was starting to move out on their own, starting families, and needed furniture. By moving from newspapers to funny radio ads and later funny TV ads, Barry and Eliot were able to draw in more customers, especially the demographic they were targeting (Iacobucci, 2013). Before they started to add in the extra shopping experiences, they had customers waiting to get into their third store. Once they added the entertainment portions of the store, they were able to draw in more customers. Even if the customer is only there to take part in the entertainment aspect of the store, which is in the back of every store, they do have to walk through the showroom first. By walking through the showroom a first time customer could see a room design or one piece of furniture that catches their eye.

Life without the constant objections from your parents and annoyance from your little sibling is one of the many advantages you gain from college.

As freshmen, students want to try everything and be wrapped up in the party life; therefore hangovers become a way of life. In order to avoid nausea and an awful headache, students should be responsible in how they drink and how often they do it. Most importantly, they should steer clear from the consumption of alcohol. Depression and anxiety are often the causes of weight gain. "Weight gain can... be attributed to high levels of anxiety brought on by lifestyle changes and even students being homesick." (Browder) Although many students do not quickly admit to this, at the beginning of school they feel homesick and sometimes eat more, simply lacking a better choice of activity. This problem is quickly resolved after they start meeting people and making new friends. And as for stress; there are counselors, advisors, and techniques that help mitigate it. Freshmen are overwhelmed by new lives and the availability of wonderful, fattening food, but if they watch what they eat, avoid alcohol and exercise they will have much less to worry about.

This shows that the announcement had a direct impact of the stock price. The reason for the increase in the stock price in Berkshire Hathaway was dependant on several factors. With the GEICO stock rising with $12.875 to $68.625 on the New York Stock Exchange, Geico Hathaway gained approximately $440 million on their 34.25 million shares in GEICO. With the gain from the upcoming deal with Walt Disney Company, as well as the publication of the Value Line Forecast for GEICO, it is understandable that the Berkshire Hathaway stock rose. Another factor that also comes into play in this case is the famous track record of Warren Buffett when it comes to investing.

Pictures can make us feel happy, excited, disgusted, and curious about the world around us. Overall an image can go a long way in terms of helping us understand information and society overall. For my presentation, I decided to take a photo of the dining hall. I think the dining hall is a great example of a very prevalent and modern concept of the McDonaldization. I will go over how my photo relates to the McDonaldization of our college campuses. Like previously stated I have taken a photo of our dining hall.

The term was used to show how the principles of the fast food industry have come to dominate all parts of American society and the rest of the world. The main idea of McDonaldization is the process of taking a task and breaking it down into smaller tasks. This is repeated until all tasks have been broken down to the smallest possible level. The result is an efficient and logical sequence of tasks that can be completed in the same way almost every time to produce the desired outcome. What we can learn from my photo from a social sense is that McDonaldization has caused an over rationalization in society. This photo shows how we as people have continued to find new and innovate ways to break down task make them more efficient, predictable, reliable and use less human technology. This photo shows how subtly McDonaldization has affected every facet of our lives. Our culture continues to value efficiency, predictability, and quantity. Especially young people specifically college students having limited amount time in their day having things be time efficient and cost effective come as second nature to us. Also, compare this photo to what happens when you enter a place like Moe's Grill. Workers shout welcome to Moe's when you enter. The workers shout out a phrase like this because they are merely following a corporate script. This the major concept of Mcdonlzation following a script of efficiency in order to make your business operate as effective a possible. I think the biggest take away from this photo is the idea of McDonaldization of universities. The idea of focused curricula, delivering degrees in a fast–track pick and mix fashion to satisfy all tastes.

People have searched for this question for years and it can sometimes be felt that we are nowhere close to the answer. Some say it's the oratory skills, some say it's the vision. Some of us go so far to say that a good leader is the one who will die for us. Who would you summon if aliens came to earth and said "Bring us your leader"? Was Hitler a good leader? Was Mahatma Gandhi a good leader? Is Warren Buffet a good leader? The list goes on. Human civilization began evolving when they started living together in tribes. It was then when humans started showing trust and co–operation amongst their tribe members. It was the trust that one person had in other that made him sleep during night, trust that other person is keeping the watch for them so that no sabretooth may attach the tribe. Today the trust has evolved in a different manner. In todays world the danger lies in our success in life. We Leaders always keep themselves in front in face of danger.

Problems such as food waste, nutrition problems, and affordability are only a few of the troubles intertwined with food. A college campus is much like a small city, it's residents, the students produce a lot of food waste like anyone else, and if the university does not actively seek to combat the problem of food waste, it will run ramped. Every day, on the campus of Stetson University, roughly 3,000 students eat on campus. Thus, it can be a massive and complicated problem to solve; however, making small changes to become proactive in the problem will make a sizeable impact. Stetson University may not have vast food options, yet for a small campus, it has a decently large quantity. The school contains the standard school cafeteria, but it also offers a couple of chain restaurants such as Johnny Rockets, Einstein's Bagels, a Food Truck, and a partially licensed Starbucks. I live on campus; as a result, I eat on campus nearly every day so what types of food and the health choices the school makes directly affects me, as I am not able to eat off campus too often. The food truck is always interesting as it has a different regional food theme each week, so it is always fun to see what is the theme of the week. The other restaurants have a set menu as they are not a university–owned chain, but they still offer a wide list of options. Unfortunately, some of the options on campus are not too healthy. The cafeteria serves about half healthy and has unhealthy foods, so sometimes it can be very tempting to make unhealthy nutrition choices. Although they do attempt to display the healthy homemade style foods at the front and the unhealthy pizza and desert– like foods towards the back. It is important for the university to take an active approach in assisting students who strive to eat healthily. Typically, I eat breakfast every day at Einstein's Bagels, and my other two meals at the cafeteria or the food truck. It is rare for me to purchase anything from Starbucks or Johnny Rockets. In the cafeteria I generally eat healthy, nutritious options, I eat quite a bit of vegetables and meat only a couple of times a week. However, others ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

It's a term we frequently hear used these days, sometimes associated with good workplaces or community involvement, sometimes because of misconduct by those in business. The term is really a misnomer; a business has no conduct of its own, only that of the people who work there. It's our conduct, our personal conduct that determines the behaviors we practice, the character of our business, and the reputation we keep. That last item, reputation, is really important. It takes many years of consistently good conduct to create a good reputation. It takes one mistake, one poor judgment, to wreck that reputation. Warren Buffet, one of our nation's most astute business leaders, says that "the top priority–trumping everything else, including profits–is that all of us continue to zealously guard the Company's reputation." It sounds like something Jeff Biskup would say. I know it's something he believes. CRB possesses an outstanding reputation in which we all take pride.

Today, the company's insurance operation is a major source of capital for Berkshire Hathaway's other investments. When Buffett made a decision in expanding into insurance, the insurance industry was a booming business. He always made sure Berkshire's insurance companies maintained capital strength at exceptionally high levels. This strength differentiated Berkshire's insurance companies from their competitors. Again this proves his market acumen and visionary ability which helped to see future trend and understand business well ahead of other rivals. After Warren Buffett converted Berkshire Hathaway from a textile to an insurance company, he started doing strategic acquisition. Initially he looked for reinsurance companies in the United States that had sound management, but were in need of capital to expand. In today's economic uncertainties, Buffett's saying will remain a guiding principal for all investors: "Be fearful when others are greedy; be greedy when others are scared for their capital".

People trudge through the streets knee–deep in decaying McDonald's wrappers, cigarette butts, squished water bottles, and sticky chewing gum. The sky is a consistent murky grey color and the only color comes from the faded neon fast food and gas station signs that dot the streets. Disney–Pixar films made this idea an unfortunate reality in the movie Wall–E, the story of a lone robot whose only job is to clean up the mounds of trash and litter left behind by humans. While this fictional tale is quickly on the way to becoming reality, there is a way to reverse the path. Instead of throwing piles of trash out the window while cruising down the highway, people should be recycling and putting their trash to a more productive use. Recycling throughout the world should be mandatory in order to cut down on landfill buildup and prevent the planet from being covered in waste. When we scrape off our dishes after a large meal, to full to finish the remaining scraps on our plate, we rarely pause and think about the significance of our action. Doing so, it seems routine to us if we have left over food scraps that are unfit to be eaten, shouldn't they be thrown in the garbage? The problem is bigger than we think or anticipate.

Warren saw the shares drop much lower in value, but Warren held on and eventually sold the shares at 40$ only to see those same shares rise to 200$ just a few years after he sold them off. Warren uses this example one of the key aspects to help him get to the top because it taught him the importance of patience, and to invest for long term. Two things that stuck with Buffet, because when he invests he is doesn't get super excited about the health and success of a business now, but he thinks of where they will be in twenty years. Warren's investment technique was far–sighted and he looked into the future, giving him great instrumental values overall. I think this is something we all can learn from and myself especially, because patience is something that can be applied to all aspects of both business, but also personal character which was a strength of Buffet. The true moment that defined Warren Buffet as a youth, that would eventually set the path for his success occurred when he attended Columbia University. It was during a class taught by the Dean of Value Investing, Benjamin Graham.

According to Warren Buffet, "a plan that requires dodging them all is a plan for disaster." The accumulation of debt continued to rise and not even the healthiest of corporations could obtain the capital to finance it. Even though businesses continued to suffer from accumulating debt, Investment Bankers noted that researchers found over time "higher interest rates received from low grade bonds had more than compensated for their higher rate of default." From this information, Investment Bankers saw this accumulation of debt as an opportunity for investors.

Fortune Editors (2014) named Warren Buffett number four on The World's 50 Greatest Leaders (2014) list for his leadership techniques with his 300,000 employees. Buffett is also a proponent for philanthropy and earmarks Berkshire Hathaway shares to distribute to several foundations annually (Berkshire Hathaway Inc., n.d.). In 2014, Buffett led his followers with a hands–off style empowering his managers to act as owners (Fortune Editors, 2014). However, Buffett did not begin his career with a hands–off style; his leadership techniques evolved as he became a seasoned CEO. Over time, Buffett shifts from a unilateral power to a mutual power (Kelly, 2013). Unilateral Power Kelly (2013) segments Buffett's leadership transition into seven stages: opportunist, diplomat, expert, achiever, individualist, strategist, and alchemist. During the first four stages, Buffett concerned himself with growing his investment and not on the impact of the organization's reputation, employees' welfare, or community and is why this category is unilateral power (Kelly, 2013).
