Glen Arnold is a businessman, investor and professor of investment at the University of Salford. He is the author of numerous finance and investing books.
The book is interesting to read, drowned out by the amazing stories in each chapter (each company). Each chapter provides background on Berkshire Hathaway and the company's management team, their problems, and ultimately their success, which makes this book comprehensive and enjoyable to read. Completed as perfectly as the first volume, I can't wait to read the third volume.
Great overview of the defining deals (P&G, Solomon Brothers, Duracell) that define BH today. Arnold goes into tremendous detail to explain the rationale behind deals, interweaving annual reports, interviews, and newspaper articles to reverse engineer Warren's (and Charlie's!) mind. Quick read, mildly verbose, but an incredible overview into quality value investing.
Closer to how I felt about volume 3 than volume 4. There's a decent amount of financial data on most of the deals and some nice added context and explanation, although I thought a little too much historical narrative at times, e.g. about Gilette and Coke. But then I have read an entire book about Coke, so maybe others would welcome that detail.
Đây là cuốn thứ 2 trong tập sách viết về những thương vụ Warren Buffett của Glen. Cách tác giả phân tích lý do, đi sâu vào nguyên nhân thành công rất hay và dễ hiểu. Chờ đợi cuốn thứ 3 được dịch sang tiếng Việt.
There is not much more you can want to read than dissections of the greatest trades of the greatest investor there ever has been.
This makes easy access to his trades in Cococola, Gillette , Disney and many more. A fascinating read with many lessons for the ordinary enterprising investor.
That's an amazing book. I have read it two times in the last year and enjoyed it. Therefore, I will read it again and again soon. Glen Arnold is a shareholder of Berkshires and he had an inside view of many decisions of Munger and Buffet throughout many years. Valuable information I was given from reading again this book ( Incentives system types, how to analyze the truth development of business and think again many my important decisions and observations.
