This is a story of a man who identified another person’s talents for compounding money.

His first purchase was of 40 shares at $265.

Two weeks later he bought 60 more shares at $295.

Four weeks after that he bought another 200 shares at $330.

After that he bought many more shares of the same company.

The company he was buying was Berkshire Hathaway.

The man he bet on was Warren Buffett.

Today he is a billionaire.

His name is Steward Horejsi.

The lesson I take from this is to buy into a great business and have a robust mental framework to stay with it.
