Several *reliable* sources (including WB himself) give Buffett's first stock investment as 6 shares of Cities Service pfd bought at $38 each when he was about 11 years old in 1942.

Early on, much of his money came from what you don't understand. He held numerous JOBS. He published and sold horse race tip sheets at Omaha's race track.

I can assure you he bought nothing like BABYF, an unprofitable foreign startup, in his youth.
