I am not an expert investment guy. I wanted to find out more who Warren Buffet is and I was not disappointed. Ultimately, Warren Buffett believes in research, research, research when BUYING a company. When you buy a stock, you are purchasing shares in a company. Therefore, know that company. He looks at everything from quality leadership, past and potential future earnings, and most importantly, he asks anyone who is purchasing stock - do you understand the company and what they do. If you don't, don't buy them. Lots of great nuggets in this book and I have a better understanding of Buffett and investing overall.

Took me two years to start reading this book, finally I read it at the same time I read a Damn right on the other person behind Warren Buffet "Damn Right" good book about how Buffet chooses a company to invest in

ดีมาก ไม่เคยคิดว่าจะดีเท่านี้มาก่อนเลย

من دو سال پیش کتاب گلوله برفی را خواندم. فکر می کردم که ته وارن بافت را در اوردم. الان که هر روز کتاب می خوانم سبکم این است که نویسنده ها را دنبال کنم و سعی دارم همه ی کتاب های نویسنده های مورد نظرم رو بخوانم. ته اکثر کتابهایی که میخوانم مقصد کتاب بعدی هست که برای مطالعه به سمتش می روم. وارن بافت کسی هست که من دنبالش می کنم و بعد از خواندن این کتاب تصمیم گرفتم به صورت خیلی عمیق تری مطالعه اش کنم. وارن بافت، من ته تو را در می آورم :)

نه این که بگویم به اندازه ی او می توانیم پولدار بشویم یا حتی به عنوان یک سرمایه گذار شناخته شویم. فلسفه ی وارن برای من جذاب است. دنیایی که همیشه بین انتخاب کردن اهداف است. انتخابی که وارن می کند همیشه شامل چیزی است که در آن مرامی وجود دارد که رویکرد و نتیجه ی کار را هر روز بررسی نمی کند بلکه بلند مدت است و بازه های زمانی در آن سال ها و بلکه دهه ها هستند. دنیایی که شامل صبر، نظم و خویشتن داری در کاری است که به آن باور داریم. خود به عینه دیدم که نتوانستم آن را انجام دهم. تجربه کرده ام که بارها دوست داشتم اینگونه باشم ولی همیشه وسوسه شدم و کوتاه مدت را انتخاب کردم. واقعاً سخت است که بلند مدت را ببینیم. واقعاً سخت است که کوتاه مدت را انتخاب نکنیم.

A sort of guide/educational related book, explaning how Warren Buffet tackles the world of investing, the book is easy to read, and the information that it is providing is easy for the reader to absorb, I found this book increased my knowledge and very useful, decent book cover, no editorial issues, suitable for the self-investor, professional investor, economic students, this book will appeal to all age groups, and if you have an interest in the world of investing, this book should be one that you read. it is a strong platform/base from which to obtain further knowledge. I always believe that if you read a book for educational reasons, that you should only read the book of a person and take advice from a person (or people) that have walked the path that you wish to walk, which makes it easier to respect their education and advice. Good book, wish I had read it years earlier.

This book was fantastic. Not only did it teach readers some facts about investing and the history of several of the last century's successful investors, it also described the mindset that's so important to maintain as an investor. Understanding that mindset is almost more important than anything else. You're a business owner when you own shares in a company, therefore it's important to know the ins and outs of that company.

Warren Buffet is an American hero in my opinion. Humble, down-home, ethical, charming and intensely brilliant. The book is part biographical; part descriptive of the Buffet investment philosophies. Since Warren Buffet invests in simple, easy-to-understand businesses, the description of the companies in his portfolios are pure "Americana". Robert Hagstrom did a fantastic job writing the book....well-written and totally engaging. I was not bored for a minute. I enthusiastically recommend, particularly if you are Warren Buffet fan.

Book gives you a peek into the mind of the World's greatest investor. It talks about the basic tenets of how Mr. Buffet goes about selecting stocks. It was an insightful addition to my knowledge on personal finance. I learnt so many things from the book
1. You dont buy stocks, you buy business
2. How to value companies (have to practice to actually arrive at valuations - right now, have learnt the methodology
3. Behavioral science
4. You can become rich by buying established names i.e. Coca cola, IBM. Idea is to find moat. Bigger companies with well established moats will become even bigger.
5. Importance of management in value generation
6. Importance of capital allocation
In all, an amazing book that restored my faith in stocks (i had completely moved to Mutual Funds). A must-read for every investor.

Well, this book is a good summary of Warren Buffett's strategies and some of his most famous stock picks, but that's about it. "The Snowball" by Alice Schroeder is a way better book that paints a more complete picture of Warren Buffet.

Value

One of the foremost investing, trading books focusing more on Benjamin Graham's Value Investing principles.
The author has sighted many case studies of Warren Buffett's investment, where they went right, where they went wrong, and most importantly, what was Warren Buffett's thought process behind investing in the companies.

There are also some calculations, formulae telling how Warren Buffett calculated the future earnings of the companies on the basis of the company's growth potential. The calculations are easier and worthy, however, I don't think it will be applicable in all of the cases.
The author has also talked about the concept of 'Moat', which too becomes important when investing in the companies for a long term.

And like this, there are many important things, concepts, formulae, calculations.
The author has written about 4 important people in Warren Buffett's life, whose idea he follows, applies when investing. Benjamin Graham and Charlie Munger are two of them.

It's Charlie Munger who told Warren Buffett that sometimes, it's okay to pay a premium to some companies when investing because they're worth the premium, and will maintain that premium for a longer time.

Yes, who can forget the importance of a better management?

It's a must-read book. Don't miss it.
