The following video of Berkshire Hathaway's (BRK-A) Warren Buffett, gives great insight into how he thinks before making an investment, how he created value added for the company, and increased sales substantially. No wonder why he is a billionaire and top trader and investor.
In the video, he discusses his purchase of See's Candies, which operates over 200 retail shops in the western United States. You will also see Buffett's sense of humor. If you have never had See's Candies, you need to try some at your first opportunity. You will love the peanut brittle, my favorite.
If you think there are investment opportunities with other candy companies, here are a couple worth looking at.
