CC – thanks for breaking down the important sections – I’ve been planning to read his reports but the length of them has put me off a bit so knowing which sections to focus on will help a bit.

I think what I love best about Buffett's annual letter is similar to what you appreciate: its frankness. It's refreshing to hear a chairman admit they got a bit lucky. Contrast that with the next breathless bank earnings release that makes it sound like they reinvented the wheel. My favourite bit? When Buffett talks about NetJets, the fractional private jet ownership company Berkshire owns: "Once you’ve flown NetJets, returning to commercial flights is like going back to holding hands." You've got to love a 76-year-old investing guru that puts that in an annual report.
