 The Warren Buffett Way September 28, 2007

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.

This newly updated edition of Robert Hagstrom's book "The Warren Buffett Way" is simply the guide to investing.
Hagstrom has dedicated years researching the unbeatable invesment strategies that have guided Warren Buffett throughout his lucrative career. Applying the same methods that made Buffett a multi-billionaire, Hagstrom created his own fund and is now fast becoming an investment legend in his own right. According to Forbes magazine, Hasgtrom's fund is outperforming Buffett's and that of his other peers, most notably Bill Miller, CEO OF Legg Mason Capital Management.
This book is a must-read for anyone serious about investing in the stock market. It is also highly accessible in that it does not assume the reader is an economic mastermind like the book's subject.
Although Buffett did not endorse this book, the book is clearly accurate in portraying Buffett's investment strategies. This can be verified in the countless number of testimonials from the press, other investment guru's such as Peter Lynch and even one of Warren Buffett's mentors, the late Phil Fisher who described the book as a "god send".
I notice there are a lot of damning reviews about this book, but it really is an informative, engaging and enlightening read. In a recent article of the 20 most significant business books, "The Warren Buffett Way" was the only investment-based guide to make the list produced by a panel of economic experts.

This book describes Buffet's investment principles and decisions in a clear, brief and very good way. Especially interesting is the discussion of the tenets that guide Buffet's purchases and the analysis of some of Buffet's investments, following these tenets. Buffet is the most succesful investor of the last decades, so studying his decisions and philosophy is, according to me, one of the best things an investor can do to learn about the business. This book offers an excellent opportunity to do so.
(By the way, if you really want to know how Buffet operates, reading the books of his masters, Fisher and especially Graham, is a requisite too!)

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. If you don't have a computer or the $2500 to buy BRKb to obtain shareholder's reports, this is a good replacement.Also, with regard to A Reader in California, the introductory anecdote about meeting WB is written by Peter Lynch, not Hagstrom.
