Buffettology: The Previously Unexplained Techniques That Have Made Warren Buffett the World's Most Famous Investor Hardcover – Big Book, November 13, 1997

Good introductory book. A bit repetitive but super easy to read and actually a very good starting point for value investing.

I have read almost every book on investing. Including several different editions of security analysis from Graham and Dodd. Although buffet is a blend of many successful investors his strategy is a unique one. As far as investment books go on learning functional strategy and how to weigh a business based on its growth patterns and initial buy in returns this book gives us little room to deny whether a business is a good one or bad one.I particularly find the words here on commodity businesses to be profound. Commodities can kill business perspectives if the companies aren't free to adjust prices amongst the competition. Killing margins and profitability per share. Very very good insight.I would recommend this book for both beginners especially but also advanced stock market buyers simply because it can keep you grounded with principles that in the long term will win. Evening the playing field between institutions and the common men like myself.I'll say this that a lot of the calculator stuff here can easily be found. Such as initial price and compounding interest calculators are widely available on the net today so it's not absolute necessity to have the calculator. I found Google handy thereTo sum it up it was a great buy... and I bought all of her books after reading this one because the content was absolutely superb

When it comes to R. O. I. (Return On Investment) Warren Buffet clearly understands this whenever he selectively invests his money into businesses that make the most business sense for him. He seeks out businesses that offer him a return on his investment money of at least 15% or higher. He knows when to get in, how long to remain in and also when to exit something. By last estimates, he is currently worth $20,000,000,000.00!!!! I’m still working on finishing reading this fascinating book. I’m starting Chapter 13 shortly. There’s clearly a lot of information to take in & mentally process. It will require studying & research on the part of the reader before considering any sort of long—term business investing. A solid knowledge of business mathematics is also strongly recommended. I would highly recommend this book to anyone interested in becoming rich through long—term business investing. Please be advised however that it is still critically important to do your due diligence & conduct proper research PRIOR to making any future investment decisions with your money.

I would recommend The Essays of Warren Buffet if I had to choose one. She reiterates a lot of the same topics as the latter book I recommend.. It is an easy read, and gives you a decent incite of his methodology of investment which not really a mystery. I don't think any book out there will tell you the closed room secretes of investment and trading.

I’m only half way through the book and I’ve already learned more about the Buffet method than I have on all the years of reading articles. Now that I understand the method more clearly my future stock selections will be based on these criteria. Best eBook investment I’ve made in a while.

While some of the examples are a bit dated (GM stands out the most), the meat of the book is really good, though like most good topics, there is a lot more to explore than the book gives. It has really changed my investment mindset though, which admittedly was more along the lines of Graham than Buffett, but I feel like I’ve just reached a new point of investing enlightenment, and am craving more.

good review of investing philosophy

Who would know better the methods of a Financial Genius than an ex daughter in Law who studied under him. You do not keep deep secrets from the family. This book tells it all. How to find the companies and what to say and do. The math is easy even though I took all this type of math in college she makes it easy for anyone not familar but ready to learn what it means.I loved it so much I just ordered the New Buffettology. This is the way I have no doubts in my mind and I am an MBA, CPA. So I think I have a little more knowlege of these things than others. Though I am no Warrn Buffet by any means.The bottom line is this book takes you by the hand and has you thinking like Warren Buffet. Thank you Mary Buffett for sharing with the world.The only thing she is taking to long to put up her web pages. I cannot wait to see what she gives us next.
