Shareholder Letter: 1982 | “Toads, Princes & the Tapeworm of Inflation"

In the 1982 letter, Warren Buffett emphasizes the power of owning small stakes in high-quality businesses rather than overpaying for full control. He critiques the flawed logic behind high-premium acquisitions, likening them to “kissing toads,” and praises managers who resist empire-building in favor of shareholder returns.
