The arc of Buffett's business life is covered in this book. The editor of Fortune magazine has collected and updated the best Buffett articles published in Fortune between 1966 and 2012, including thirteen cover stories and a dozen pieces authored by Buffett himself. The editor has provided commentary about each major article, supplying context and her own informed point of view. Readers will gain fresh insights into Buffett's investment strategies and his thinking on management, philanthropy, public policy, and even parenting. Some of the highlights include: the 1966 A. W. Jones story in which Fortune first mentioned Buffett; the first piece Buffett wrote for the magazine, 1977's "How inflation swindles the equity investor"; Andrew Tobias's 1983 article "Letters from Chairman Buffett," the first review of his Berkshire Hathaway shareholder letters; and Buffett's stunningly prescient 2003 piece about derivatives, "Avoiding a Mega-Catastrophe".--From publisher description.… (plus d'informations)
I'm a Warren Buffett fan, and this book tells a lot of interesting things about him.
But it's a collection of pretty short-form stuff from the pages of Fortune magazine over many decades, and the anecdotes, philosophy and form get a little bit repetitive after a while.
I kept it on the nightstand and browsed between other books, or when I needed something light that wouldn't keep me up. Worked okay, for that, but took a long time to finish. ( )
This is a compilation of Fortune magazine articles. It has some nice golden nuggets in some of the articles, but you won't feel the need to read it cover to cover. It's an interesting read, although I'm not sure that it's the best place to start if you're looking to learn about Warren Buffett. After reading this, I will be reading Security Analysis and anything else written by Benjamin Graham. ( )
I enjoyed reading this collection of articles covering Warren Buffett from Fortune Magazine. I learned a lot about the early Buffett prior to my becoming in investing. The integrity and intellect of Warren Buffett is amazing. This should be required reading for most of the population, just for his ideas on responsibility and charitable giving. Politicians will not like it because he calls them out on a lot of their actions that are bad for the country and the people. ( )
