Warren Buffett defined the earnings called “Owner Earnings” that is more relevant to the valuation of a company than the reported earnings on the income statement. The owner earnings can be calculated by adjusting the reported accounting earnings in the following ways:

Owner Earnings = (a) Reported earnings + (b) depreciation, depletion, amortization and certain other non-cash charges – (c) the average annual amount of capitalized expenditures for plant and equipment

= cash flow from operating activities – capital expenditures

This episode covers the concept called Mr. Market that teaches how you can be prepared with short-term stock price fluctuations. It is a very simple concept to understand, but it is not an easy concept to implement in real life if you are an emotional person and are attached to the money invested in the stock market. Remember that Mr. Market is there to serve you, not to guide you.

This episode covers Warren Buffett’s views on why “independent” directors may not be best positioned to represent a majority of shareholder under the current corporate system, and how the board of directors should perform their job on behalf of shareholders. Warren Buffett provides his own criteria to select the best directors who can truly be independent and are willing to challenge a forceful CEO.
