2015 is not a leap year but from an investors standpoint there is no better person to look ahead (or go back in investing time) with than Warren Buffett. His annual letter was released this past weekend and because we feel it so important that you read it we are keeping our letter short and sweet. In our March 2015 newsletter we highlight the following:

50 Years at Berkshire Hathaway with Warren Buffett

If there is one thing you should read this month it’s the Berkshire Hathaway 2014 Letter to Shareholders. In it, both Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger reflect on the past 50 years at Berkshire Hathaway – their success, failures and how to create an enduring legacy. The lessons are timeless and should be read by all investors – novices and professionals alike.
