It is a long read, the author is clearly intelligent, some clever words used. it jumps sections of Warrens life, i like his childhood the best,
overall it seems warren makes money for the thrill and challenge of it to see if he is clever enough to beat the market.
he doesnt invest so he can spend it.
its not a book about how to invest it is more a cse of warren came froma middle classs background with a stockbroker father, in which he had no debt, lived at home or college for years, saved and saved and started as a broker, so made his money via a cut as all fund managers do.
but he wanted to pick stocks and businesses, not just place them into folks portfolios for them.he had heartache in his life, deaths , seperation and his kids never really seen him as a suportive dad, nor did his wife see him as a manly husband, they thought in todays analysis, he had OCD when it coems to saving, scrimping and making money.nothing else mattered, he neglected his family and gave them money to make up for it imo.

Hur beräknas betyg?
För att beräkna det totala stjärnbetyget och den procentuella fördelningen per stjärna använder vi inte ett enkelt medelvärde. Istället tar vårt system hänsyn till saker som till exempel hur nyligen en recension har gjorts och om recensenten köpte artikeln på Amazon. Det analyserar också recensioner för att verifiera deras trovärdighet.

A interesting insight into the man but a bit too long
Granskad i Storbritannien den 20 december 2018Verifierat köp
I found this to be a page turner and thus give it 5 stars and recommend it.
I felt as though I got to know him on some level although I feel that the book, like Buffett himself, only gives some things away. A more incisive look into his mind and actions would have been preferred but maybe that's not possible with him.
There are far too many pages concerning other people that could have been cut. I suspect this was a requirement of his to pay homage to certain important people in his life. Still, it wasn't too much of a distraction.

Self-fulfilling prophecy

Enjoyable CD set - The dialogue is easy listening as Warren Buffett follows his intuition - To para-phrase: 'A complicated man with simple tastes.' His expertise is 'The contribution / application of centred and informed principles (personal and business) , his financial compound growth, builds steadily throughout the narrative. There are also some wonderful quotes - From a grand father to grandson (even if the grandfather is a Billionaire).
There are references to key books in WB life and to individuals.

Great in depth look at the Oracle of Omaha.
Granskad i Storbritannien den 22 mars 2020Verifierat köp
This is the first book if this type that I have attempted to read and must admit I enjoyed it a lot. At 700 pages long, it does not feel like a drag learning about his incredible work ethic from such a young age, all the way to his 80th birthday.
Learnt the overall basics of stocks and investments through this book although this was not the desired purpose of this book, which is to learn about the Oracle of Omaha himself Warren Buffett, and what makes him tick.
Would read it again in a few years time, a great read well written by Alice Schroeder.

The second richest guy in the States and still going strong
Granskad i Storbritannien den 15 december 2013Verifierat köp
Without having inherited very much in the way of wealth Warren Buffett employed an approach to investment that resulted in his becoming one of the world's richest men. This is quite a subject for a biography and this book tackles it well. At all times the book provides the context so that we are also provided with a history of post-war developments in the financial industry. Its view of Buffett is generally favorable but his inconsistencies and his quirks as well as his limitations are well documented. It is never tedious and it is always well-written. Not a book for those seeking a speedy way to a fortune because as the book makes clear the circumstances that enabled Buffett to make his fortune are no longer there.
