Brett Gardner is author of the book Buffett’s Early Investments.

The book analyzes key Buffett investments from the 1950’s and 1960’s, a period in which he had his most extraordinary returns.

During the partnership years (1957-69), Buffett put together one of the greatest investment track records of all time, earning an astounding 29.5% CAGR without reporting a single down year. According to Buffett, prior to the partnership in the 1950’s, his returns were even higher.

Brett dug through this extraordinary period and analyzed many of Buffett’s key investments. The book takes your through the financial statements and qualitative story from Buffett’s vantage point when he bought the stocks. He further analyzes the outcome.

The book is fantastic and I highly recommend it to anyone interested in Buffett.
