- How Buffett and Charlie Munger made their first formal investment together in Hochschild-Kohn.
- How corporate governance issues actually presented serious risk to Buffett’s 1966 investment in Walt Disney.

Other investments analyzed include American Express, British Columbia Power, Cleveland Worsted Mills, Greif Bros, Marshall-Wells, Studebaker, and Union Street RailwayNot all of these investments worked out—this book shows why.
