Synopsis

Warren Buffett is the most successful and revered investor of all time. His ability to consistently find undervalued companies has made him one of the world's richest men.

Despite many previous books about him, it's rare to find an objective assessment—one that praises him when appropriate but also recognizes that even Buffett makes mistakes. For instance, is he right to call for higher taxes and an end to earnings guidance? Should Buffett fans copy his avoidance of technology stocks?

In this penetrating look at how Buffett thinks, Vahan Janjigian shows listeners how to learn from the master's best moves while avoiding strategies that don't apply to small investors. And he explains Buffett's favorite valuation methodology, the discounted cash flow model, and how it can significantly reduce the odds of overpaying for a stock.

Goodreads review by Mark on September 19, 2008

and neither is Janjigian. This is a pretty decent book, nonetheless. Janjigian makes some good points especially about how Buffett is diffferent from, well, everyone else. Even the above average investor is not going to have the same level of resources, or the same clout, as Buffett. Is there anyone......more

Goodreads review by Simon on November 21, 2011

I had high hopes for this 200page book, but i was disappointed. Each chapter simply highlights a point that is well known about Buffett and Berkshire Hathaway, but it takes pages and pages just to come to point. It doesn't tell me anything i don't already know about Buffett, and what it does tell me,......more

Goodreads review by Maureen on August 31, 2017

I haven't finished the book yet, but I thought I'd still leave a comment. Interesting content, and easy read but the author tends to repeat himself way too much. It doesn't go into much depth too, so I'm a little disappointed in that sense, but overall okay book.......more
