About this listen

Welcome to episode 11, where we delve into the transformative 1967 acquisition of National Indemnity (NICO) by Berkshire Hathaway for $8.6 million. This pivotal move marked Berkshire's strategic shift from its struggling textile operations, which Warren Buffett was actively shrinking due to mounting costs and competition. The acquisition was fundamentally driven by the significant "float" NICO provided, offering Berkshire valuable, deployable capital and laying the groundwork for its future as a powerful insurance conglomerate.
