Summary of the Book
Warren Buffett remains one of the most sought-after and watched figures in business today. He has become a billionaire and investment sage by buying chunks of companies and holding onto them, instead of selling them off in pieces for profit, corporate raider style. The original editon of The Warren Buffett Way gave investors their first in-depth look at the innovative investment and business strategies behind the spectacular success of living legend Warren E. Buffett. Tracing Warren Buffett's career from the beginning, Hagstrom told readers exactly how, starting with an initial investment of only $100, Buffett built a business empire worth $19.4 billion. The Second Edition of The Warren Buffett Way completely updates this classic book on it's tenth anniversary with new material on Buffett's recent acquisitions, debt deals, fixed income approach, and technology approach. Hagstrom revisits the "buy what you know" strategy that has had mixed success but recovered due to Buffett's management skill.
