Investment is a boring activity that requires a minds thats able to focus on hours end with a cunning ability to recognize patterns. It also requires a lot of research on different stock taking time to ask serious questions about the business, management to understand than organisation intrinsic value. Search for stocks that are being sold at lower than market value. Once convinced don't hesitate and plunge and buy big. Buffet was brilliant at this stuff and that's why he is the best

Loved reading on how and why Buffet made himself to today. He did something he was good at for excellently and with a forever vision in mind. Deeply admirable and courageous in his undertakings. Don't think I can look at the stock market the same way i did again and the book helps to develop a macro perspective to fundamental analysis of investing.

巴菲特的故事体现了做事先做人。信守承诺也是成功的一项必不可少的因素。巴菲特对金钱和数字一如既往的热情可能不是每个人都有的,但是他的执着,坚持和他做人的可靠是值得我们学习的。有信念并为之一辈子努力,作可靠的正直的人是我也要成为的样子。
