Even Buffett Isn't Perfect: What You Can--and Can't--Learn from the World's Greatest Investor
Search in google:
Warren Buffett is the most successful investor of all time. His ability to consistently find undervalued companies has made him one of the world's richest men. Yet while his track record is hard to argue with, the Buffett way isn't the only way, nor is it always the best way, to invest.Even Buffett Isn't Perfect dispels many myths about Buffett and his "solid as a rock" style. It shows readers how to learn from the master's best moves while avoiding strategies that don't apply to small investors — and avoiding Buffett's mistakes, such as sometimes riding his winners too long. Publishers Weekly In his introduction, Janjigian notes that "to become a successful investor you must be an educated investor, and the best place to start is by examining Buffett's strategies." The author-vice president and executive director of the Forbes Investors Advisory Institute-doggedly follows Buffett's investment trail, scrutinizing the successes and failures of the world's pre-eminent investment celebrity. Janjigian's readable, engaging style carries the reader painlessly through the fundamentals and finer points of investing, assaying Buffett's buying strategies and research methods, while clarifying investment terms and summarizing key points. Although frankly admiring, Janjigian is never fawning and takes pains to make his material clear and compelling; his book is a rounded evaluation of the investment guru's strategies and a useful primer for business neophytes.
