on august 8, 1994, w. buffet purchased 257,640 shares of coca- cola's common stock for 21.95 a share .
Coca cola earned .84 per share in 1993, and .99 per share in 1994... meaning it was trading at a P/E of roughly 22 when he bought it. Did he make a bad investment because coke was "overpriced"? It may be worth paying a small premium for a premium company.
