Abstract

Warren Buffet is the world’s third richest man because of the stock market, and he is the CEO of Berkshire Hathaway – the holdings of which are followed by third parties and discovered with a simple google search. With the stock holdings of such a successful investor accessible, why would anyone pass up the opportunity to discover the profitability of those investments themselves? I found a comprehensive list of the stock holdings of Berkshire Hathaway and decided to analyze American Express Co (AXP). I will look for the projected revenues, projected free cash flows, and possible outcomes for the company.
