Download or read book One Thousand Ways to Make 1000 written by F. C. Minaker and published by Greenleaf Book Group. This book was released on 2010-03 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1936, One Thousand Ways to Make $1000 is the long out-of-print book that Warren Buffett's biographers credit with shaping the legendary investor's business acumen and giving him his trademark appreciation of compound interest. After pulling a copy of One Thousand Ways off a library shelf at age eleven and devouring F.C. Minaker's plucky and practical business advice, Buffett declared that he would be a millionaire by the time he was 35. Written in the immediate, conversational style of Dale Carnegie's How to Win Friends and Influence People, this book is full of inventive ideas on how to make money through excellent salesmanship, hard work, and resourcefulness. While some of the ideas may seem quaint today-goat dairying, manufacturing motor-driven chairs, and renting out billiard tables to local establishments are among the money-making ideas presented- the underlying fundamentals of business explained in these pages remain as solid as they were over seventy years ago. Covering a wide spectrum of topics including investing, marketing, merchandising, sales, customer relations, and raising money for charity, One Thousand Ways to Make $1000 is both a durable, classic business book and a fascinating portrait of determined entrepreneurship in Depression-era America. Every effort has been made to reproduce the content exactly as it was originally presented.

Book excerpt: In Warren Buffett: Inside the Ultimate Money Mind, Hagstrom breaks new ground with a deep analysis of Buffett's essential wisdom, an intricate mosaic of wide-ranging ideas and insights that Buffett calls a Money Mind. What exactly is a Money Mind? At one level, it's a way of thinking about major financial issues such as capital allocation.

This is not a method book. It is a thinking book. Warren Buffett: Inside the Ultimate Money Mind explains the philosophies of self-reliance, stoicism, rationalism, and pragmatism and their contributions to making intelligent investment decisions. It also outlines the evolution of value investing, discusses how to develop a business-driven investing mindset, and describes the defining traits of successful active management. Lastly, it examines the surprising aspects of a Money Mind – sportsman, teacher, and artist. In short, Warren Buffett: Inside the Ultimate Money Mind helps readers understand the building blocks that go into making a Money Mind so they can begin to incorporate its principles in the service to a life of value.

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.

Download or read book Warren Buffett Invests Like a Girl written by Louann Lofton and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2011-06-21 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: *** Wall Street Journal bestseller *** Investing isn’t a man’s world anymore—and this provocative and enlightening book shows why that’s a good thing for Wall Street, the global financial system, and your own personal portfolio. Warren Buffett and all of the women of the world have one thing in common: They are better investors than the average man. It’s been proved by psychologists and scientists, and the market calamities of the past two years have only provided more statistical and anecdotal evidence of the same. Here are just a few characteristics of female investors that distinguish them from their male counterparts. • Women spend more time researching their investment choices than men do. This prevents them from chasing “hot” tips and trading on whims -- behavior that tends to weaken men’s portfolios. • Men trade 45% more often than women do, and although men are more confident investors, they tend to be overconfident. By trading more often -- and without enough research -- men reduce their net returns. But by trading less often, women get better returns and also save on transaction costs and capital gains taxes. • A study by the University of California at Davis found that women’s portfolios gained 1.4% more than men’s portfolios did. What’s more, single women did even better than single men, with 2.3% greater gains. • Women tend to look at more than just numbers when deciding whether to invest in a company. They invest in companies they feel good about ethically and personally. And companies with good products, good services, and ethics tend to have better long-term prospects -- and face fewer lawsuits. Women, with their capability for patience and good decision-making, epitomize the Foolish investment philosophy and the investment practices of the most successful investor in history: Warren Buffett. While men are brash, compulsive, and overly daring, women tend to be more studious, skeptical, and reasonable. This indispensable volume from the multimedia financial education company Motley Fool offers essential advice for every investor hoping to turn today’s savings into wealth for a better tomorrow.

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.

Download or read book Warren Buffett written by Andrew Kilpatrick and published by Dutton Adult. This book was released on 1992 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Beginning in 1956 in a spare bedroom in his parents' Omaha, Nebraska, home, Warren Buffett has built a personal fortune of four billion dollars. Today, Berkshire Hathaway, the investment company he controls, has eleven billion dollars in assets, including major holdings in Coca-Cola, Wells Fargo, American Express and Capital Cities/ABC. But Warren Buffet is much more than wealthy and successful. The man Fortune magazine has ranked as the eighth richest American has managed to accumulate this enormous wealth while maintaining a unique reputation for the highest integrity and ethics in the often cutthroat world of American business and high finance." "So impeccable is his reputation, in fact, that in August, 1991, when the venerable Wall Street firm of Salomon Inc. was abruptly rocked by a bond-trading scandal that threatened its very future, Warren Buffett was the unanimous choice of Salomon's board of directors, of its clients, of the Federal government, of regulators, investigators and investors to take over as interim chairman and restore the firm's shattered reputation." "In Warren Buffet: The Good Guy of Wall Street veteran business journalist Andrew Kilpatrick presents the story of Warren Buffet from his roots in Omaha, where his family goes back five generations, his youth (nicknamed "Fireball" by his father, he early demonstrated a gift for making money and at age eleven was making $1,000 a year from two paper routes), his education at Columbia University School of Business (Harvard rejected him on the basis of a ten minute interview) and how, at age twenty-six, he started the Buffett Partnership." "Kilpatrick explores Berkshire Hathaway's ownership of less glamorous but hugely profitable companies such as GEICO Insurance, See's Candies, Wesco Finance, Nebraska Furniture Mart, Scott Feltzer Manufacturing, and the World Book Encyclopedia. He provides insights into Buffett's business philosophy, his unqualified insistence on integrity, and his most daring financial operations." "This is the portrait of a man who made a fortune the old fashioned way, who eschewed the risky short-term strategies of the greed-ridden 1980s in favor of commonsense investments in companies of genuine permanent value. Kilpatrick reveals an extraordinary human being who combines financial genius, impeccable ethics, surprising to some, and a wonderful sense of humor." "Warren Buffett is an American original and this is his story."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved
