Book excerpt: Jetzt erscheint erstmals eine Warren Buffett-Biographie in Comic-Form. Sie zeichnet das Leben von Buffett nach - angefangen bei seiner frühen Kindheit bis hin zu seinem kometenhaften Aufstieg als legendärer Investor. Buffett wurde am 30. August 1930 - zur Zeit der Weltwirtschaftskrise - geboren. Diese Zeit der Entbehrungen prägte ihn nachhaltig, und schon als Kind war es sein Ziel, reich zu werden. Bereits im Alter von 6 Jahren erwachte Buffetts Geschäftssinn - er verkaufte Coca Cola mit einem Cent Gewinn pro Flasche; mit 13 trug er für 500 Kunden die Washington Post und The Times Herald aus; mit 14 verdiente er bereits 175 Dollar pro Woche - das war 1944 der Durchschnittsverdienst eines 25-jährigen. Im Alter von 19 Jahren las Buffett "The Intelligent Investor" von Benjamin Graham und beschloss, mehr über Wertpapieranalyse zu lernen. Zwei Jahre besuchte er die Wharton Business School; seinen Abschluss machte er an der Columbia University School of Business in Nebraska, unter Professor Benjamin Graham, der ihn später als Analyst bei Graham-Newman einstellte. Buffett entwickelte die Theorien seines Lehrers Graham weiter und suchte neue Herausforderungen: Mit 26 war er Chef von drei Unternehmen und verwaltete mehrere Millionen Dollar. In den Folgejahren kauft Buffett AMEX, Amerikas marktführendes Kreditkarten-Unternehmen, bringt Berkshire Hathaway wieder auf Erfolgskurs, rettet GEICO, den KFZ-Versicherer, den er als Student analysierte und der Benjamin Graham zu seinen Großaktionären zählt, und er rettet Salomon Brothers aus der Krise, und, und, und... Aber lesen Sie hier selbst alles über "das Orakel von Omaha"! Verschaffen Sie sich einen Einblick in die Denkweise dieses zweifellos größten Investors aller Zeiten und lernen Sie mehr über seine sieben goldenen Erfolgsregeln, wie z.B.: Entscheide dich für Unternehmen, die leicht zu verstehen sind. (Investiere nie in Unternehmen, die du nicht verstehst!). Entscheide dich für Unternehmen mit einer langfristig stabilen Performance. Entscheide dich für Unternehmen mit einer vielversprechenden Zukunft. Freuen Sie sich auf eine leichte, unterhaltsame und höchst informative Lektüre. Dieses wunderschön illustrierte Comic-Buch wurde von der bekannten japanischen Künstlerin Ayano Morio gezeichnet. Es wurde aus dem Japanischen ins Englische übersetzt und ist Wileys erstes Finanz-Comicbuch.

Book The Snowball

Download or read book The Snowball written by Alice Schroeder and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2009-09-16 with total page 833 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shortlisted for the Financial Times and Goldman Sachs Business Book of the Year Prize 2008 The Snowball is the first and will be the only biography of the world's richest man, Warren Buffett, written with his full cooperation and collaboration. Combining a unique blend of "The Sage of Omaha's" business savvy, life story and philosophy, The Snowball is essential reading for anyone wishing to discover and replicate the secrets of his business and life success. Warren Buffett is arguably the world's greatest investor. Even as a child he was fascinated by the concept of risk and probability, setting up his first business at the age of six. In 1964 he bought struggling Massachusetts textile firm Berkshire Hathaway and grew it to be the 12th largest corporation in the US purely through the exercise of sound investing principles - a feat never equalled in the annals of business. Despite an estimated net worth of around US$62 billion, Buffett leads an intriguingly frugal life taking home a salary of only £50,000 a year. His only indulgence is a private jet, an extravagance he wryly acknowledges by calling it "The Indefensible". In 2006, he made the largest charitable donation on record, with most of it going to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. The Snowball provides a comprehensive, richly detailed insight one of the world's most extraordinary and much loved public figures.

Book The Snowball

Download or read book The Snowball written by Alice Schroeder and published by Bantam. This book was released on 2009-10-27 with total page 866 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The personally revealing and complete biography of the man known everywhere as “The Oracle of Omaha”—for fans of the HBO documentary Becoming Warren Buffett Here is the book recounting the life and times of one of the most respected men in the world, Warren Buffett. The legendary Omaha investor has never written a memoir, but now he has allowed one writer, Alice Schroeder, unprecedented access to explore directly with him and with those closest to him his work, opinions, struggles, triumphs, follies, and wisdom. Although the media track him constantly, Buffett himself has never told his full life story. His reality is private, especially by celebrity standards. Indeed, while the homespun persona that the public sees is true as far as it goes, it goes only so far. Warren Buffett is an array of paradoxes. He set out to prove that nice guys can finish first. Over the years he treated his investors as partners, acted as their steward, and championed honesty as an investor, CEO, board member, essayist, and speaker. At the same time he became the world’s richest man, all from the modest Omaha headquarters of his company Berkshire Hathaway. None of this fits the term “simple.” When Alice Schroeder met Warren Buffett she was an insurance industry analyst and a gifted writer known for her keen perception and business acumen. Her writings on finance impressed him, and as she came to know him she realized that while much had been written on the subject of his investing style, no one had moved beyond that to explore his larger philosophy, which is bound up in a complex personality and the details of his life. Out of this came his decision to cooperate with her on the book about himself that he would never write. Never before has Buffett spent countless hours responding to a writer’s questions, talking, giving complete access to his wife, children, friends, and business associates—opening his files, recalling his childhood. It was an act of courage, as The Snowball makes immensely clear. Being human, his own life, like most lives, has been a mix of strengths and frailties. Yet notable though his wealth may be, Buffett’s legacy will not be his ranking on the scorecard of wealth; it will be his principles and ideas that have enriched people’s lives. This book tells you why Warren Buffett is the most fascinating American success story of our time. Praise for The Snowball “Even people who don't care a whit about business will be intrigued by this portrait. . . . Schroeder, a former insurance-industry analyst, spent years interviewing Buffett, and the result is a side of the Oracle of Omaha that has rarely been seen.”—Time “Will mesmerize anyone interested in who Mr. Buffett is or how he got that way. The Snowball tells a fascinating story.”—New York Times “If the replication of any great achievement first requires knowledge of how it was done, then The Snowball, the most detailed glimpse inside Warren Buffett and his world that we likely will ever get, should become a Bible for capitalists.”—Washington Post “Riveting and encyclopedic.”—Wall Street Journal “A monumental biography . . . Schroeder got the best access yet of any Buffett biographer. . . . She deals out marvelously funny and poignant stories about Buffett and the conglomerate he runs, Berkshire Hathaway.”—Forbes “The most authoritative portrait of one of the most important American investors of our time.”—Los Angeles Times

Book Life Is What You Make It

Download or read book Life Is What You Make It written by Peter Buffett and published by Crown. This book was released on 2011-05-03 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From composer, musician, and philanthropist Peter Buffett comes a warm, wise, and inspirational book that asks, Which will you choose: the path of least resistance or the path of potentially greatest satisfaction? You may think that with a last name like his, Buffett has enjoyed a life of endless privilege. But the son of billionaire investor Warren Buffett says that the only real inheritance handed down from his parents was a philosophy: Forge your own path in life. It is a creed that has allowed him to follow his own passions, establish his own identity, and reap his own successes. In Life Is What You Make It, Buffett expounds on the strong set of values given to him by his trusting and broadminded mother, his industrious and talented father, and the many life teachers he has met along the way. Today’s society, Buffett posits, has begun to replace a work ethic, relishing what you do, with a wealth ethic, honoring the payoff instead of the process. We confuse privilege with material accumulation, character with external validation. Yet, by focusing more on substance and less on reward, we can open doors of opportunity and strive toward a greater sense of fulfillment. In clear and concise terms, Buffett reveals a great truth: Life is random, neither fair nor unfair. From there it becomes easy to recognize the equal dignity and value of every human life—our circumstances may vary but our essences do not. We see that our journey in life rarely follows a straight line but is often met with false starts, crises, and blunders. How we push through and persevere in these challenging moments is where we begin to create the life of our dreams—from discovering our vocations to living out our bliss to giving back to others. Personal and revealing, instructive and intuitive, Life Is What You Make It is about transcending your circumstances, taking up the reins of your destiny, and living your life to the fullest.

Book Warren Buffett  A Biography

Download or read book Warren Buffett A Biography written by Joseph Taglieri and published by Hyperink Inc. This book was released on 2012-07-30 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABOUT THE BOOK If you picture the life and home of one of the world's richest, most powerful men with fifteen bedrooms and a room devoted to swimming in gold (a la Scrooge McDuck) you’ll be shocked with self-made billionaire Warren Buffett. The 81-year-old man lives a modest life in same the three-bedroom home he bought in Dundee, Nebraska in 1958 with his late wife Susan. Never one for extravagance, Buffett always preferred a low key life, both at home and at work, and earlier in his life, at school. His high school year book photo was captioned “likes math, future stock broker” and couldn't have been a better predictor. After college and apprenticeships, Buffett became an investment icon. His flagship investment, Berkshire Hathaway, has become an industry leader for how to choose stocks that have longevity, similar to Buffett himself. Buffett has made significant contributions to the way investments were made on Wall Street by deciding early on to look at the company structure and not just the balance sheets. His unique perspective and insight has earned him the much deserved title “Oracal of Omaha.” Buffett has always been a philanthropist. In college he belonged to the fraternity Alpha Sigma Phi, like his father before him, whose core mission is, “Silence, purity, charity, honor, and patriotism.” During the 1980s, Buffett's company, Berkshire Hathaway, devised a plan to allow shareholders to allocate funds to their particular charities. Although immensely popular, the program came to a halt after members of a subsidiary, The Pampered Chef, felt they were discriminated against because of the donations Buffett made to pro-choice groups. In 2006 Buffett shocked the world when he announced that he would be leaving the majority of his vast fortune to the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation and not to his family members. Buffett, Gates, and Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, infamously signed the “Gates-Buffett Giving Pledge” that stated each pledged at least half of their earnings to charities. Also in 2006, Buffet became enraged when his youngest son's adopted daughter, Nicole, appeared in a documentary called “The One Percent,” about growing up in households with money, produced by heir to the Johnson and Johnson fortune, Jamie Johnson. He wrote the 28 year-old Nicole and said, "I have not emotionally or legally adopted you as a grandchild, nor have the rest of my family adopted you as a niece or a cousin,” effectively removing her from his family unit. Buffett, however, is not free of controversy in his business life either. His first bump with regulators was in 1973 over the perceived notion that he and long time business partner Charlie Munger caused a takeover failure of Wesco Financial. The Security Exchange Commission (SEC) investigated the stock buy up of Wesco shares by the firm Blue Chip, which Buffett owned a majority stake in, and determined that they had sufficient evidence to bring charges of stock price manipulation. Blue Chip neither denied nor confirmed the allegations but settled for $115,000 which was paid out to Wesco shareholders who might have been slighted by their actions. EXCERPT FROM THE BOOK Buffett was born on August 30, 1930 in Omaha, Nebraska to Howard and Lelia Buffett. He was the couple’s middle child and only son. Howard Buffett was the son of grocery store owners, but after he was unable to get a job in the family business, he started his own brokerage firm. While Howard ran his investment business he also served on the Omaha Board of Education for four years and then ran for the US House of Representatives. He was elected and relocated the family to Washington, DC. There, Warren attended public schools and graduated from Woodrow Wilson High in 1947, five years later. He was only seventeen years old.

Book Inside the Investments of Warren Buffett

Download or read book Inside the Investments of Warren Buffett written by Yefei Lu and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2016-08-09 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the 1950s, Warren Buffett and his partners have backed some of the twentieth century's most profitable, trendsetting companies. But how did they know they were making the right investments? What did Buffet and his partners look for in an up-and-coming company, and how can others replicate their approach? A gift to Buffett followers who have long sought a pattern to the investor's success, Inside the Investments of Warren Buffett presents the most detailed analysis to date of Buffet's long-term investment portfolio. Yefei Lu, an experienced investor, starts with Buffett's interest in the Sanborn Map Company in 1958 and tracks nineteen more of his major investments in companies like See's Candies, the Washington Post, GEICO, Coca-Cola, US Air, Wells Fargo, and IBM. Accessing partnership letters, company documents, annual reports, third-party references, and other original sources, Lu pinpoints what is unique about Buffett's timing, instinct, use of outside knowledge, and postinvestment actions, and he identifies what could work well for all investors in companies big and small, domestic and global. His substantial chronology accounts for broader world events and fluctuations in the U.S. stock market, suggesting Buffett's most important trait may be the breadth of his expertise.

Book The Warren Buffett Way

Download or read book The Warren Buffett Way written by Robert G. Hagstrom and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-09-13 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Warren Buffett is the most famous investor of all time and one of today’s most admired business leaders. He became a billionaire and investment sage by looking at companies as businesses rather than prices on a stock screen. The first two editions of The Warren Buffett Way gave investors their first in-depth look at the innovative investment and business strategies behind Buffett's spectacular success. The new edition updates readers on the latest investments by Buffett. And, more importantly, it draws on the new field of behavioral finance to explain how investors can overcome the common obstacles that prevent them from investing like Buffett. New material includes: How to think like a long-term investor – just like Buffett Why "loss aversion", the tendency of most investors to overweight the pain of losing money, is one of the biggest obstacles that investors must overcome. Why behaving rationally in the face of the ups and downs of the market has been the key to Buffett's investing success Analysis of Buffett's recent acquisition of H.J. Heinz and his investment in IBM stock The greatest challenge to emulating Buffett is not in the selection of the right stocks, Hagstrom writes, but in having the fortitude to stick with sound investments in the face of economic and market uncertainty. The new edition explains the psychological foundations of Buffett's approach, thus giving readers the best roadmap yet for mastering both the principles and behaviors that have made Buffett the greatest investor of our generation.

Book Buffett

Download or read book Buffett written by Roger Lowenstein and published by Duckworth Publishing. This book was released on 2008 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Starting from scratch, simply by picking stocks and companies for investment, Warren Buffett amassed an astonishing fortune - a net worth of $64 billion and counting. His awesome investment record has made him a cult figure popularly known for his seeming contradictions: a billionaire with a modest lifestyle, a phenomenally successful investor who eschews the revolving-door trading of modern Wall Street, a brilliant dealmaker who cultivates a homespun aura. Journalist Roger Lowenstein draws on three years of unprecedented access to Buffett's family, friends and colleagues to provide this definitive inside account of the life and career of this American original. He explains Buffett's investment strategy - a long-term philosophy grounded in buying stock in companies that are undervalued on the market and hanging on until their worth invariably surfaces - and shows how it is a reflection of the character of the man himself. And in a brand new afterword, in the wake of the news that Buffett has decided to give the bulk of his fortune to the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation, Lowenstein reflects on the largest charitable donation in American history.
