As one of the world’s most successful investors, the modest Mr Buffett and his strategies are a recipe for success.’ ( The National Personal Finance, October, 2010).
--This text refers to the
Hardcover
edition.
From the Inside Flap
The Warren Buffett Way Peter Lynch, bestselling author of One Up on Wall Street, says he′s "the Greatest Investor of them all." What is the secret of Warren Buffett′s spectacular success? How has he managed to so consistently beat all the major indices and so regularly come up a market winner? In his track record really nothing more than a rare statistical aberration–or is it the result of an identifiable approach that other investors can learn and master? The Warren Buffett Way offers investors their first in–depth look at the innovative investment and business strategies behind the spectacular success of living legend Warren E. Buffett. Tracing Warren Buffett′s career from the beginning, Robert G. Hagstrom, Jr., tells us exactly how, starting with an initial investment of only $100, Buffett built a business empire worth $19.4 billion.
∗ Offers a close–up look at Buffett′s highly successful investment theories and strategies
∗ Identifies the types of businesses Buffett now finds most attractive, and which ones he avoids
∗ Based on the author′s ten–year monitoring of Buffett′s numerous shrewd investments and ventures
A folksy midwesterner given to terse, homespun wisdom, Warren E. Buffett is one of the most closely watched figures in business today. A savvy investor and brilliant stock–picker, Buffett disdains market trends and sees himself as an investor in businesses rather than stocks. "Warren Buffett is often characterized simply as a ′value investor′ or a ′Ben Graham disciple.′ Hagstrom fills in the rest of the story with some immensely practical pointers on prospering in the market." –Martin S. Fridson Managing Director Merrill Lynch "Warren Buffett is surely the Greatest Investor of this century–not so much because he built a great fortune within a free market as because he has shared his important thinking with us and has openly demonstrated the sagacity and courage so vital to success. Berkshire Hathaway has been my largest, longest investment. Warren has been my best teacher." –Charles D. Ellis Managing Partner Greenwich Associates The Warren Buffett Way is both a fascinating read and a valuable resource for investors and business leaders. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

I am continually amazed by the good reviews this book receives; so I finally felt compelled to write. There is nothing in this book that Warren Buffett hasn't already said in his annual letters. Robert Hagstrom revealed his true reason for writing this book when the first paperback edition came out and in it, in fine print, was a notice stating that Hagstrom had started an investment fund designed to invest using Warren Buffett's principles (read: way). That is, he wrote the book so you would learn his name, become confident in his ability to analyze investments like Buffett does, and invest in his fund (which has a hefty expense ratio and has performed quite poorly I understand). So he writes this page book, in which he recommends that if you ever have the chance to read Buffett's annual letters, you should, since they "read like a book on his investment philosophy". I took his suggestion, ordered the back annual letters (sold by Berkshire Hathaway for $15) and found they repeated everything in this book - sometimes word for word (now how could Buffett have known what Hagstrom was going to write?). I get the feeling that Hagstrom has never met Buffett and never discussed investing with him (unlike Lowenstein, Lowe, Train, etc.) and his only research for this book was Buffett's annual letters. I learned more about Buffett's style from Roger Lowenstein's biography. Take Robert Hagstrom's advice and purchase the annual letters; they say the same thing - except Buffett's sense of humor is better.

Far from giving the reader an insight into the investment strategies of the world's greatest investor this book simply summarises selected comments from Buffett in his annual reports of Berkshire Hathaway. Having read the book and the annual reports I can honestly say that Warren Buffett does it better! You can download the reports free of charge from the Berkshire Hathaway web site. Don't waste your time with this book.

This is an excellent look at the investment style of Warren Buffett. It is extremely well written and very clear, I'd even go so far to say that you don't need an in-depth knowledge of maths to understand the principles outlined in this book as they are explained so clearly, with many examples based on Buffetts own techniques and actual stock/business purchases. It has a slight biographical quality about it as well, which is great for that deeper understanding of Buffett and what has motivated and shaped his thinking. Of all the investment books i've read, this is one of the most accessible and useful. A great introduction to Buffett and value investing. Highly, highly recommended. If this piqued your interest try 'The Essays of Warren Buffett' by Lawrence Cunningham for some brilliant examples of Buffetts own clear and entertaining writing style and investment wisdom.

An easy read with a few pearls of wisdom.
I found The Warren Buffet Way to be a very enjoyable book. I also feel that Hagstrom does himself (and WB) credit by pointing to BH's shareholder's reports as often as he does. Read more
