| | Customer Reviews: Warren Buffett's investment strategy. (31 May 2010)In this book, you won't find any information with regards to getting rich quick. Instead, you'll find solid long-term advice on growing your portfolio in a conservative manner, and this involves a significant level of security and balance sheet analysis. Briefly, it means avoiding the tech sector and other areas of high risk, instead focusing on companies with low P/E ratios, solid and transparent balance sheets, and consistent results. Additionally is advised that if you don't have the time to do due diligence, investing in index-based funds can be an easy long-term strategy, as these often outperform even very good mutual fund managers. The classic book is coupled with a more modern commentary on the dot-com implosion. Although it's entertaining to re-live these vivid days, I'm not sure it adds all that much value to the overall book, and possibly could have been left entirely out. Not for everyone. (01 April 2010)This is definitely one of the best investing books that will ever be written. I'm only 18 years old and I might not understand everything perfectly well. But this book is fascinating enough to make not want to put it down. Put frankly, this book is about one thing: principle. If you lay solid investing principles, then you will never go wrong. I would recommend this book to anyone who has strong mind control and is well disciplined. And this is not just a side note. You will find this book interesting only if you believe that you can separate your emotional from your intellectual self and can sustain this skill. After all what this book is telling you not to do is the amazingly profitable thing of making thousands everyday by trading daily on the stock market. It is explaining to you what happens in the mind of the "Intelligent Investor". A*, 11/10 If Warren Buffett thinks it is the best ever written one should read it. (13 March 2010)Not a new book and over 600 pages long but full of down to earth simple advice. If you plan to invest in the market then this is a must for your bookshelf. Bible of Finance (28 December 2009)This book is Bible of finance and is a must read.It teaches us basic principal of value investing but the most important lesson from the book is how to control and win over oneself and gives numerous example of failure who did not follow basic principal of "Investing" or value investing. Amazing introduction to value investment (20 December 2009)This has to be one of the greatest books written on investment, this book does not promise to make you a millionaire in 2 or 3 years. It does however deliver on teaching safe value investment techniques, which when followed correctly can give give solid returns. There is a bit of maths involved, but it should not be beyond most people. Graham's technique is based on numbers and figures, hence the mathematics cannot be ignored. The commentary by Zwieg has got some stick in the reviews, however it does provide investment novices with more contemporary examples of applying Graham's rules and techniques. If you find in some cases Zweig is contradicting Graham's advice just ignore Zweig and take Graham's word. Excellent book, and a must for anyone interested in investment. | |
