1966: Hochschild, Kohn & Co.

The year 1966 was marked by a fluctuating stock market, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average briefly breaching the 1,000 mark for the first time before closing significantly lower, while the Buffett Limited Partnership achieved a 20.4% return, outperforming the Dow. During this period, Warren Buffett took control of Berkshire Hathaway and, for the first time, partnered with Charlie Munger on a business venture to acquire the Hochschild, Kohn & Co. department store, an investment that would later be considered a mistake. https://open.substack.com/pub/theweekendinvestor/p/becoming-berkshire-1966-hochschild?r=21sroa&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=false
