For those who have interest -
But first a very short Intro -
Graham said he wanted me to work on the next edition
of The Intelligent Investor, the popular version of his text-
book. “There are only two people I would ask to do this,”
he said. “You are one, and Warren Buffett is the other.”
“Who’s Warren Buffett?” I asked.A natural question. In
1970 Warren Buffett wasn’t known outside of Omaha,
Nebraska, or Ben Graham’s circle of friends...........
At Graham’s urging, I had several conversations with
Warren, and then I flew to Omaha to meet him, even
though I still didn’t think I was right for the job.............
I went to Warren’s house on Farnam Street, which he
had bought for $31,500 in 1958. It was a rambling, comfort-
able house..........
I said I didn’t want to work on Ben Graham’s book. War-
ren said he didn’t either. We wrote a note to Ben saying his
book didn’t really need any improvements........
- Adam Smith (SuperMoney)
Adam Smith was a pseudonym utilized by Author (George Goodman)
Borrowed from the real Adam Smith (A Scottish Economist) I suppose as an homage.
Why the above introduction ?
Well I love the wonderful little nuggets of history you can dig up via the web nowadays. It Just so happens George Goodman (author of SuperMoney) was also an economics broadcast commentator, and through his TV broadcast he introduced Warren Buffett to a wider audience of American investors.
Without further Ado - Here is Warren's interview with George Goodman circ 1985.
