Terrific Advice!
I wish I had this book twenty years ago. It explains exactly what a quality company is and how to evaluate one. The book also succinctly explains the formulas used to evaluate a stock purchase and when to buy. I learned so much in just forty five minutes. I am going to recommend this book to every one I know, especially the younger generations.

Short, concise, and to the point, it should be called: “how to evaluate good stocks to invest in”, very useful. It could have been 4 stars if the author explained with more examples other than Coca-Cola vs Ford, and more mathematical formulas of calculation.

Given that this book is only 45 minutes, it is an excellent read because I get a lot from this book. I recommend this book and would review it again.

I would like to thank the author for giving us his information about the stock market in a very simple but effective way. An extremely useful book for those who are just starting out on the stock market.

The book is good for long term investors and some fundamental analysis metrics Buffett allegedly uses. I liked simple explanations of those metrics. But there were a few things which bothered me such as timing the market and be fearful when everybody is greedy. This thing is dangerous and based on perception of each individual trader. The book was written in 2016 and since 2013 everyone was expecting bear market. Even today in 2020 everybody out there is saying that this market is going to crash because we had the longest bull market in history. So if you cashed in 2016 to "raise cash be prepared to buy great companies such as Coke", then you would have missed a great rally of 2017, some mediocre upward move in 2018 despising the drop as only the beginning and thus missing it too, and definitely missed a great rally (29%) in 2019. It is hard to say when everybody is really greedy and when you just think that everybody is greedy because the market cannot go any higher. But it can. If you step back and take a big picture into account, we just broke up from a long term consolidation pattern (about 16 years long) and most likely we will be going higher from here for another 18 +/- years.

“Invest like Warren Buffett” by Matthew R. Kratter. Mr Kratter has more than 20 years of investing experience, including serving as a portfolio manager and investment committee member at Peter Thiel’s hedge fund Clarium. Warren Buffett is one of the most successful investors of all time, and he is a person I admire for this knowledge of investment.
People often confuse trading with investing. They are totally different concepts and require different strategies. This book is writing for long-term investors and some fundamental analysis metrics Buffett allegedly uses. This little and short book packs tons of wisdoms and metrics of investing.
The following are key takeaways I learned from this book:
* If summarize Buffett’s main investment strategy in one sentence, it would be this: “Buy shares in a few high-quality, well-run businesses at a fair price, and then hold them forever”
*How to spot a great business?...

A great overall read, but I have to disagree with a few points in this book. As with any investment, you have to educate yourself and do what is right for you specific needs and risk tolerance. Now that I got that out of the way, the main thing I didn't agree with was I don't think that dismissing a company because they won't be selling the same product 10 years from now or 10 years ago is a smart move.
In the book he uses Coca Cola as an example of a good company to invest in because it sold the same product 10 years ago, now and will probably be selling the same product 10 years from now. Money doesn't have to go into market research and can be passed on to you.
I find that the companies that can't/don't or won't adapt to change are the ones that are going to be left in the dust. Coca Cola now sells a variety of different beverages and products. If they stopped selling Coke specifically, they would do just fine.
While he doesn't list this as the only reason in selecting a company, I don't think it should be there at all. In fact, I would use that as a negative.

Basic but mostly clear
I'm grateful for the instruction to look at multiple-year trends relative to income and expenses and financial statements. The equations could be better formatted (e.g. LaTeX rather than text), and one equation didn't make sense: return on total capital = (net income + interest expense)/(shareholder equity + long-term debt)? Why wouldn't you subtract interest expense from income, given that it is an expense and not income? I suspect this is a typo, but it is very important to be clear whether payments to shareholders (if that's what he means here, which also is unclear) helps or hurts a company's ability to generate future profits. It seems to me to depend on the situation the company is in.

Do not waste your money, $$, on this PAMPHLET. The reviews of this so-called book could not possibly have garnered any valuable information. You would be better off reading the table of contents of a value investing book.
Invest Like Warren Buffett: Powerful Strategies for Building Wealth was a small paperback book with large print and maybe 30 pages of content. This is a 15-minute read at best. This "book report/summary" is information you can find anywhere on the internet for free. If I was Warren Buffett, I would sue this author for using his name.

"Invest Like Warren Buffett" by Matthew R. Krater is another gem from his collection of investment books. Like his other works, it’s short, to the point, and that’s one of the things I love about the author.
The book is super easy to understand and does a great job of quickly breaking down how to look for stocks. It’s perfect for both newbies and seasoned investors who appreciate practical advice without the fluff.
Overall, it’s a quick and insightful read that offers valuable tips on investing like Warren Buffett. Highly recommended it.

Very short and to the point. Small contextual stories followed by brief tips and then a summa try at the end. I liked it and from reading other books of Buffet’s investing philosophies I’d say this is a nice refresher or a good intro into how Buffet invests.
Overall would recommend as a quick refresher or brief intro but not for in depth insights. If you’re looking for a deep dive with more math, templates, and anecdotes, you’re better off finding another book then coming back to this one.

I liked the book in it’s shortness to show You a 5-point guideline of a company that is worth investing in. BTW I did not know that Buffet mostly aims for companies with debt lower than 3 years profit (like Coca Cola). That truly is a cash machine. Why would all the other investors buy something else?
Hehe and just like me the author in 2015 thought we were in the end of a bull run. But the money printers went nuts the first time ever, and now we have a 2008 -> 2023 bull run.

Not exactly full of original ideas or insights, just a collection of readily available criteria that Warren Buffet uses to screen stocks. For what it is though, it gets the job done. Just don't expect an "and then" at the end.
Key Takeaways:
>Focus on high-quality companies with "moats" (strong advantages). Recognizable brands in controlled markets
>Invest only in your "circle of competence"
>Be fearful when others are greedy, etc etc etc

Great Simplified read!
Literally the best book for any beginners in the stock market that I've read. I've read many books but none like this one. Shirt, straightforward, and easy to understand. This is the 2nd book I read from Mr. Kratter's list and the way he simplifies every term is great.

Be a Remora Fish.
Essentially copy catting established successful investors is a way of fast learning about the stock market.
I like the idea of following Warren Buffett’s approach in investing.Experience is not only convincing ,but addictive.
Try for yourself and see what you get.
Be courageous.
Happy investing.

Small but Mighty
This is a great intro book to understanding the importance of a company's balance sheet. I've recently began researching stock options and am pretty new to the investment world, but this made it even easier to find the best data on the financial records. A definite must read for serious long term investor's.

Good information
This book had great insight with my only issue being that there was only one reference to a “great” company to reinforce the authors statements. I wish there were reference and details on why for a few other examples.

Good read
Material was straightforward and easy to understand. Good examples were provided. It was a concise and fulfilling read. The author seems to feel strongly about Coke though lol

Got the entire essence of Warren Buffett the way he sees the world of business. Ideas that he had on picking up the stocks were the ultimate truth. Got a good idea or a kind of tip to pick the stocks in the market.

Short brisk read. Although its for complete newbies
Short brisk read. A decent book for those who are new to investing. Generic concepts explained nicely. Could have been much better if author had gone more deeper into fundamentals.

Short and to the point
It's a short summary book on how Buffett invests. If you are looking for an in depth boon then this isn't the book for you. It's merely an introductory book to what Buffett does.

Contradictory opinions
Ideas contradict themselves, and are too idealistic, making them impractical. On the one hand, it says don't buy falling stocks, on the other hand it recommends buying coke when it was at the lowest in 2009.
