Many Indian companies fit its mould

Indian market has 'unexplored' opportunities, says Warren Buffett

Billionaire investor Warren Buffett said that the Indian market has unexplored opportunities which his conglomerate holding company, Berkshire Hathaway, would like to explore in the future". Buffett's remarks came at Berkshire's annual meeting on Friday when Rajeev Agarwal of DoorDarshi Advisors, a US-based hedge fund that invests in Indian equities, asked him about the possibility of Berkshire exploring in India, the world's fifth-largest economy. It is a very good question. I am sure there are loads of opportunities in countries like India," he said. The question, however, is whether we have any advantage or insights into those businesses in India or any contacts that will make possible transactions that Berkshire would like to participate in.

Charlie Munger, Warren Buffet's sidekick at Berkshire Hathaway, dies at 99

Charlie Munger, who helped Warren Buffett build Berkshire Hathaway into an investment powerhouse, has died. He was 99. Munger's death was confirmed in a statement from the company, which said he died Tuesday at a California hospital. Munger served as Buffett's sounding board on investments and business decisions and helped lead Berkshire as its vice chairman for decades. Munger preferred to stay in the background and let Buffett be the face of Berkshire, and he often downplayed his contributions to the company's remarkable success. But Buffett always credited Munger with pushing him beyond his early value investing strategies to buy great businesses. "Charlie has taught me a lot about valuing businesses and about human nature," Buffett said in 2008. Buffett's early successes were based on what he learned from former Columbia University professor Ben Graham. He would buy stock in companies that were selling cheaply for less than their assets were worth, and then, when the market p
