Alice Schroeder is one of the most popular and richest Journalist who was born on December 14, 1956 in Dallas, United States.

As a project manager for the US FASB, she managed SFAS No. 113. Since 2008, Schroeder has worked as a columnist for Bloomberg News.

In 2002, the Wall Street Journal broke the news that Thomson Reuters’ First Call, a research database which compiles the earnings estimates of Wall Street analysts to publish consensus earnings estimates for public companies, removed Schroeder’s estimate on Chubb Insurance from the database after Schroeder refused to raise her estimate on Chubb to match that of other analysts, whom she disagreed with. Once other investment banks complained about similar experiences, First Call agreed to include a broader range of analyst forecasts in its estimates and better disclose the factors that account for their differences in judgment.

In 2003, Schroeder has reported that an investment writer approached her to jointly write a book about Warren Buffett and corporate governance. Schroeder felt this was not the right book and discussed another idea with Buffett, who offered to cooperate with her if she wrote a more comprehensive book.

The Snowball was published September 29, 2008 and debuted at #1 on The New York Times. Wall Street Journal and Publishers Weekly lists of hardcover nonfiction best-sellers and remained on the bestseller list for more than three months. After the book’s publication, Buffett reportedly stopped speaking to Schroeder. He canceled the yearly dinner Schroeder hosted in Omaha at which she interviewed him before nearly two hundred people. The New York Times reviewer Janet Maslin called it one of her ten favorite books of 2008. Time Magazine and People also named The Snowball one of the ten best books of the year.

In 1993, Schroeder left the FASB to work a sell-side insurance investment analyst for Dowling Partners in Hartford, a boutique firm run by V.J. Dowling. In 1994, Schroeder moved to CIBC Oppenheimer. In 1998, she joined PaineWebber.

Afterward, Buffett approached her to become the first and only Wall Street sell-side analyst to whom he would speak. Schroeder then initiated coverage of the hard-to-analyze Berkshire Hathaway in a favorable report This was the first significant Wall Street coverage the company received. In 2000, Schroeder was hired by Morgan Stanley, where she was voted the #1 Property-Casualty insurance analyst two years in a row after having been ranked a member of the Institutional Investor All-America Research Team for seven years.
