Buffett told investors that Berkshire Hathaway (BRKB)made a $65.3 billion net gain in 2017 -- but "only $36 billion came from Berkshire's operations."
The rest was a gift from the new U.S. tax code.
"A large portion of our gain did not come from anything we accomplished at Berkshire," he wrote, adding that about $29 billion of that $65.3 billion gain came from changes to the tax law.
Buffett went on to extol Berkshire's investing methods. Careful decisions and an aversion to debt and speculation has gotten the firm this far -- and that's the course it'll stay on, he said.
He noted that Berkshire didn't go on a buying "frenzy" and acquire a bunch of companies last year, mostly because there were no desirable options that came at a "sensible" purchase price.
"[P]rices for decent, but far from spectacular, businesses hit an all-time high" last year, he wrote.

Top 10 Warren Buffett Stocks To Own For 2019: Northwest Biotherapeutics, Inc.(NWBO)
Advisors' Opinion:- [By ]
Northwest Biotherapeutics (OTC:NWBO) presented underwhelming preliminary data from a late-stage study of DCVax-L in brain cancer.
Community Health Systems (NYSE:CYH) amended to extend the "Early Tender Deadline" and the "Expiration Date" for each Exchange Offer announced earlier.
- [By ]
The last time we left Northwest Biotherapeutics (OTC:NWBO), I stated in a fairly cautious article that there are persistent risks associated with an investment in this company. Back in November, I did not feel that the benefits outweighed the risks for this small cap equity.
