Buffett is back . . . and better than before! A decade has passed since the book that introduced the world to Warren Buffett -- The Warren Buffett Way by Robert Hagstrom -- first appeared. That groundbreaking book spent 21 weeks on the New York Times Hardcover Nonfiction Bestseller list and sold over 1 million copies. Since then, Warren Buffett has solidified his reputation as the greatest investor of all time -- becoming even richer and more successful, despite the wild fluctuation of the markets. How does this value investing legend continue to do it? That's where Robert Hagstrom and the Second Edition of The Warren Buffet Way come in. This edition is a completely revised and updated look at the Oracle of Omaha -- comprising Buffett's numerous investments and accomplishments over the past ten years, as well as the timeless and highly successful investment strategies and techniques he has always used to come out a market winner. This edition is especially accessible as Buffett's basic tenets of investing are presented and illuminated with relevant and up to date examples. Order your copy today! |

Written on March 15, 2008 Summary: Get the Abridged Audio Version I would recommend an abridged audio CD or Cassette instead of a printed version of this book. The printed version is quite lengthy and is mainly based on the Buffet's letters to shareholders, freely available. The abridged audio version exposes all the key aspects of Buffet's investment principles, for example: is the company in an industry with good economics, i.e., not an industry competing on price; is the debt-to-equity ratio low or is the earnings-to-debt ratio high, i.e. can the company repay debt even in years when earnings are lower than average; does the company have high and consistent Returns on Invested Capital; does the company retain earnings for growth; is the company free to adjust prices for inflation; and so on. There is another, better book on this topic: "Buffetology" by Mary Buffett (former daughter-in-law of Warren Buffet). It not only addresses the questions above mentioned, but examines in details additional issues, like: a consumer monopoly vs a commodity; does the company have a consumer monopoly or brand name that commands loyalty; can any company with an abundance of resources compete successfully with the company; which formulas to use to differentiate a potential good investment based on projected compounded future earnings; and so on.  Written on February 9, 2008 Summary: Another good read about the 'Oracle from Omaha'. BOTTOM LINE: More of the same information about Warren Buffett. We all know his story and his investment style. We know about his blockbuster deals in retrospect. Trying to dupicate his success; THAT's the tricky part!  Written on September 21, 2007 Summary: Great Book about Warren Buffet Gives you a simple overview about the investment genius. Great Book, gives you a feel forFinancial Statement Analysis: A Practitioner's Guide, 3rd Edition how the genius handles things. Written on September 15, 2007 Summary: Decent The book is decent. If you really want to learn about the Buffet Way then there are better books -like "Making of an American capitalistic" and Essays of Buffet. This book tries to abstract the concepts and present them in an easy to read manner. The reason I give it 3 stars is - after reading "Making of an American.." , I found the information in this book less useful. Hagstrom does a good job of abstracting though. Written on June 14, 2007 Summary: Maybe I was expecting too much It's not that this book isn't well written. It is factual and has much historical information. It thoroughly explains the early influences on Warren Buffet and how he has modified his approach over the years. After reading it, I'm not sure I really understand HOW WB decided to bet the farm on Coke or Washington Post, only that he did so. Perhaps it's too much to expect that I can read the book and become a genius investor or even understand how WB did. |
