"Waarom ik $25,000 wil betalen voor een etentje met Warren Buffett"
Enkele weken
bood iemand $351,100 voor een etentje met Warren Buffett. Er waren maar
liefst 110 bieders die minimaal $25,000 over hadden voor een avond met
de legendarische belegger.
Hieronder ziet
u
een screenshot van deze veiling op eBay (de opbrengst ging naar het
goede doel)

Iedereen kent
mij als een enorme fan van Warren Buffett en ik durf u rustig te
verklappen dat ik $25,000 over heb om met Warren Buffett te gaan eten.
Waarom? Hetgeen Warren Buffett mij in enkele uren kan leren, is meer
waard dan de $25,000 die ik ervoor betaal.
Maar helaas is het een droom die waarschijnlijk nooit werkelijkheid
wordt. Buffett veilt maar één keer per jaar een etentje en andere bieders zijn bereid om veel meer te betalen dan de $25,000 die ik
er voor over heb.

Maar wat indien u een
volledige dag kan doorbrengen met iemand die zijn leven
spendeert aan het bestuderen van iedere stap die Warren Buffett
zet? Iemand die diverse boeken schreef over het "orakel van
Omaha" en de wereld rond reist om alles wat hij weet over
Buffett te onthullen in bijzonder interessante seminars?
Ik heb het hier
natuurlijk over Robert Miles. U kent hem misschien van optredens
op CNN of artikels in "The New York Times".
Warren Buffett zelf,
zegt het volgende over de boeken van Robert Miles:
"Everyone who reads it comes away singing its praises. I'm
mentioning it in the annual report." - Warren Buffett

"Warren Buffett samen met Robert Miles" |
You May Never Meet
Warren Buffett, But Hear Robert P. Miles Speak and You'll Feel Like You
Have
Voor wie geen
$351,100 beschikbaar heeft voor een etentje met Buffett zelf, is dit
zonder twijfel het beste alternatief mogelijk!
Het heeft me
heel wat moeite gekost maar ik ben er eindelijk in
geslaagd om Robert Miles te overtuigen een seminar te houden in België (op zaterdag 24 september 2005).
Ik was eerder
al zwaar onder de indruk van de boeken van Mr. Miles. Van alle auteurs
die over Buffett schrijven (en dit zijn er nogal wat!), verraste hij mij
met zijn unieke kijk. Ik had voorheen reeds alles over Buffett gelezen
wat er te lezen valt maar Robert Miles slaagde er niettemin in om in
zijn boeken te komen met zaken die ik voor het eerst las.
Na het lezen
van "Warren Buffett Wealth", plaatste ik de volgende getuigenis op
Amazon.com (ik lees jaarlijks honderden boeken maar ik heb slechts
voor één boek commentaar gepost op Amazon)

Nadat ik
Robert Miles in mei 2003 ontmoette op de luchthaven in Omaha en een kort
gesprek met hem had, besloot ik om deze briljante auteur naar België te
halen voor een seminar. En op zaterdag 24 september 2005 is het dan
eindelijk zover.
U krijgt voor
het eerst (en zeer waarschijnlijk ook voor het laatst!) de kans om
kennis te maken met Robert Miles via een indrukwekkend seminar. En ik
zeg wel degelijk indrukwekkend. Wanneer zelfs een
topmanager zoals Jack Welch (voormalig CEO van General Electric) onder
de indruk is van dit seminar, ben ik ervan overtuigd dat ook u versteld
zal staan van hetgeen Robert Miles te vertellen heeft.

Synopsis: Buffett Genius
Genius of any kind is a gift bestowed on a rare few; individuals endowed
with multiple areas of genius are even rarer. Throughout history, both
scientists and artists have advanced human achievement; but there are

and an artistic genius. Warren Buffett is one of the few exceptions.
Gifted with a phenomenal memory, astonishing mathematical abilities, and
highly developed interpersonal skills, he has accomplished what few
others have done.

of the most admired chief executives in the world. It explains how a

Do you have what it takes to be a part of Warren Buffett's

Robert Miles discovered that there are several critical character traits
shared by all of the more than 20 CEOs of Buffett-owned companies. This
eye-opening session reveals what those traits are, and invites you to
hold up a mirror and see if the person you have become reflects the
qualities admired and rewarded by the world's most renowned value
investor and values manager.
The way business is done at Berkshire Hathaway is anything but
business-as-usual. Warren Buffett has been able to attract and keep his
enormously talented team of managers without meetings, divisions,
budgets, or an organizational structure. "Team Buffett" has never lost a
CEO to a competing enterprise, even though the average Buffett CEO is
worth $100 million and therefore "working" for passion, not financial
independence. And the average Buffett CEO has tenure of 25 years—with no
mandatory retirement—while the typical large-company CEO is on the job
for only 6 years.

Hathaway's unconventional and spectacularly successful business model.

(13:30 - 15:00)
As a young boy in Omaha, Nebraska,
Warren Buffett began his
investing career with a modest investment of $100 and gradually
transformed it into over $100 billion—one of the largest
fortunes ever amassed. According to Forbes magazine,
Buffett is the second richest person in the world, and he is one of the
few people to become a billionaire through investing alone, by investing
in other people's businesses and without ever starting or managing is
own business. Throughout his life and all of his phenomenal successes,
he has remained true to his principles, staying clear of unfriendly
deals, and going into business with people he likes, admires, and
respects.
This
session details the specific investment strategies that
Buffett has been using for nearly 50 years — strategies which have
served him in every stock purchase and business transaction he has ever
been involved in, carried him right on through bear markets and bad
economies with barely a scratch, and enabled him to build one of the
most secure, liquid sources of capital in the entire world.

three cornerstones of Buffett's investment philosophy, including the
"margin of safety," and the critical importance of investing within your
circle of competence.

about the lessons they taught him that influence his decisions to this
day You'll find out why the world's greatest investor believes that all
investing is value investing, and learn precisely how Buffett
calculates a stock's value. And you will learn to recognize the
never-before-seen "Mr. Market," the fictional character created by
Buffett's professor to help explain the two extremes of the stock market:
fear and greed.

uncover the brilliance behind Berkshire Hathaway's decision to go
against conventional wisdom and refuse to split its
stock.

session you'll discover what they are and what lessons you can learn
from them. This session also reveals and debunks many commonly held
