Warren Buffett, known for his careful investment approach, shared in a letter to shareholders how he acquired one company after receiving an autobiography as a gift and another through a handshake agreement in a single meeting. He emphasized that these deals were not reckless but based on trust, an intangible asset markets often overlook, which influences who secures favorable deals and who bears poor loans.
