Warren Buffet was born in 1930 in Omaha, Nebraska and has become probably the world’s most successful investor. He is the son of a stockbroker and Congressman, and of course everyone wants to learn about his trading secrets.
I don’t think that Warren Buffet has actually written a book about his investment principals himself, in that sense there is no Warren Buffet book, but he has from time to time given hints in his annual letters to share holders of Berkshire Hathaway, and in other short notes and reports to the media.
However there have been a lot of books written about Warren Buffet by others who have tried to put together the story and ideas behind the man and his fortune.
In fact if you go to Amazon and do a search for “Warren Buffet” will find 2,576 books being listed, compare that to “Bill Gates”, who for a long time was also considered to be the riches man in the world, and you only find 11 listings, that should give you some idea about the public obsession with the man.
I have only read one of his books called “The Warren Buffett Way”, it was quite hard work and somewhat of a boring read. Much of the content of all these books on Warren Buffet seems to be the same basic information about value investing and being patient with your investments. I don’t think much can be gained by reading more than one of them.
Here is a small selection of some of the better known ones:
The Warren Buffett Way, Second Edition written by Robert G. Hagstrom, Ken Fisher, and Bill
The Snowball – Warren Buffett and the Business of Life
The essential Buffett library
Investing – the Last Liberal Art – by Robert Hagstrom
Buffett, by Roger Lowenstein
The New Buffettology, written by Mary Buffet and David Clark
The Interpretation of Financial Statements, by Benjamin Graham
Value Investing, by Janet Lowe
Robert Hagstrom, The Warren Buffett Way
Mary Buffett and David Clark, Buffettology
Janet Lowe, Warren Buffett Speaks: Wit and Wisdom from the Word’s Greatest Investor
John Train, The Midas Touch: The Strategies That Have Made Warren Buffett ‘America’s Preeminent Investor’.
Andrew Kilpatrick, Of Permanent Value: The Story of Warren Buffett
Warren Buffett, Lawrence Cunningham (editor), The Essays of Warren Buffett
Janet M. Tavakoli, Dear Mr. Buffett: What An Investor Learns 1,269 Miles From Wall Street
Many of these Buffet books are quite large, with many pages that would take a long time to read, and even longer to understand and make any sense of. A better way of understanding Buffet maybe to find investment articles which have summarised the Buffet principals into short concise lessons that can be quickly learnt and applied.
One point of caution however, and this is not investment advice, Buffet has made most of his fortune during the years of the great USA bull markets, times have changed and maybe these principals are no longer as effective as they used to be.
