Format:Hardcover
When it comes to investing, no one can match Warren Buffett. LouAnn Lofton, an editor for The Motley Fool financial services firm, compellingly argues that Buffett is a great investor because he activates deliberative "feminine" wisdom when making investment choices. That's the book's most inventive thought. The solid investing advice is comfortably traditional and even a bit repetitive. However, the just "like-a-girl" title draws attention to Buffett's studious, informed, reasonable investing style, which mirrors the traits of many women investors. Lofton explains why she believes this is the ideal investing temperament. getAbstract recommends her straightforward report to potential investors, particularly those who want to be like Warren...that is, rich, successful and in touch with his feminine side, at least when it comes to money.

A new twist on Buffett
23 Jun 2011
Format:Kindle Edition
Easy to read and understand. The author stresses the importance of an investor's temperament, in addition to research skills, circle of competence, etc. This book is less technical / cerebral and more about personality / behavioral traits that result in more successful investing.

Buffett is NO "girly-man" - more like a trap-door wolf spider.
14 July 2011
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
I bought this book for my son, age 42, who is a Motley-Buffett devotee. I read chapters of it when we go to babysit our 16 month old granddaughter once a week. I like it much better than the Motley's RuleBreaker/RuleMaker book I am simultaneously reading at home. I have been a momentum swing trader and not a value investor, using Vector Vest and a cadre' of other would-be "experts" (free and by subscription) - There is no one right answer in tumultuous times. Learning when to get greedy and when to get fearful and not be talked out of it takes some a lifetime - especially later bloomers - who lacked time or capital before retirement. This book is light and pleasant reading with large enough type for older eyes.

Could be a good teaching tool
10 July 2011
Format:Hardcover
Based on a fun premise, this book is helpful to all investors, because it reminds them of the basic philosophy behind buy-and-hold investing.
It could also be a tremendous resource for high school, or introductory level, economics classes. Especially at all-girls schools. If I was a teacher, I'd definitely have my students read both the first and last chapter.
A great bonus is the appendices, containing 3 captivating interviews with fund managers.
