Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

It's no secret that most mutual funds fail to beat the performance of the S&P 500. And if the pros can't beat the averages, it's not unreasonable to assume that most individual investors can't either. Why? According to Robert Hagstrom, author of The Warren Buffett Portfolio, a big reason is the industry's emphasis on diversification. In the interest of minimising risk, many investors have "become intellectually numb to its inevitable consequence: mediocre results." As a result, they wind up owning too many stocks and churn their portfolios unnecessarily (for example, the average mutual fund holds 100 stocks and turns over 80% of its portfolio annually). In The Warren Buffett Portfolio, Hagstrom shows how Buffett and others use the idea of focus investing to organise a winning portfolio.

Unlike Hagstorm's first book, The Warren Buffett Way, which dealt with how the world's greatest investor selects individual companies, this book looks at the mathematics, the psychology, and the mental models necessary to build a successful portfolio. The basic ideas: pick no more than 10 to 15 companies with a good track record and high probability of future success, plan to hang on to them for at least five years and ignore predictions and the sometimes terrifying swings in market behaviour. It's hard to argue with Hagstrom's approach, especially when he practices what he preaches. His fund, the Legg Mason Focus Trust, has 15 stocks, an annual turnover rate of 9%, and percentage annual returns in the mid 30's. For thoughtful investors and devotees of Warren Buffett, The Warren Buffett Portfolio is well-written guide aimed at those who are looking for more than the next hot stock tip. Recommended. --Harry C. Edwards, Amazon.com --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars excellent, a must read!, 29 April 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Warren Buffett Portfolio: Mastering the Power of the Focus Investment Strategy (Hardcover)

A must for all would be investors. If you thought that the way to make money long term, was divresifying your many holdings...think again. We are reminded that both Buffett and Munger stick both their fingers up at modern portfolio theory.They emphasise that the only real way to make money is too own a few wonderful companies, and hold them,preferably for ever. This book should be read by all those so-called investment professionals(i.e index fund managers)who plague the investment industry with thier pathetic,risk adjusted mumbo jumbo.After reading this they may reach investment puberty!!What Buffett and Munger have achieved is truely astounding, but at the same time superbly simple.This book along with the authors other book 'The Warren Buffett Way' explains in simple language the do's and dont's of investing.Should be regarded as another Buffett Bible.

1.0 out of 5 stars Be careful when open your parcel from Amazon, 8 Sep 2007

By	Assel Kaliyeva - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I just wanted to let the other Amazon customers know and be careful when they open their parcels from Amazon.co.uk. Sorry, my review has nothing to do with the book cause I didn't even have a chance to read it. The parcel came full with cockroaches. I happened to open the parcel in my car. The insects run out everywhere into my car which caused expenses for dry cleaning of the interior of the car and desinfection. Amazon's customer care service couldn't find a better decision but ignore my complaint. So, next time you receive a parcel from Amazon.co.uk make sure you open it not at home, or in your car but somewhere out. I am not a citizen of the UK, in this case I am sure my consumer rights would have been properly pretected by relevant authorities. ..The only regret - the book I paid for was absolutely dirty and not readable.
