Some, like Larry from Washington, will bank 6-figures this year. To find out what you’re missing, click here NOW… The world’s second-largest economy (behind the United States) has seen its stock market tumble.

Or as Buffett himself refers to it: “…the engine that has propelled our growth since 1967.” I’m of course talking about insurance. In each shareholder letter, Buffett spends a lot of time explaining his insurance business, and why it has “been of great importance to Berkshire.” Namely, he talks about “float,” or money that belongs to others but is held by the insurer.
