Customer Reviews

The book to buy if you want to emulate the Sage of Omaha

A good, practical guide for those wanting to learn how to invest; pretty good for the more advanced investor, too. If I have a criticism it is that more case studies would be cool.

A teriffic read about a teriffic investor

Warren Buffett has made more money for more small investors than anyone else. There are other Buffett books about but they suffer from the extremes of oversimplification or overcomplexity. At last, a book we can all use.

An excellent book for all types of investor

I found this book an extremely clear and interesting account of the methods that Buffett has used to evaluate the companies in which he has invested. The workbook approach means that these techniques can be applied easily by even the novice investor. I highly recommend this book to investors of all levels of experience.

Excellent, innovative guide for the serious investor.

As a newcomer to the world of investment this workbook has helped me to understand the ways and means to becoming a serious player in the stockmarket. I have now started my own portfolio following the clear path set out by Richard Simmons' analysis. Not only does the clear,concise style appeal to the experienced investor but to the novice too. An excellent workbook which I would recommend to all.

The best Buffett book on the market

Although there have been other books claiming to reveal the methods that have made Warren Buffett a billionaire this is the first wholly practical and accurate guide. Simmons first takes the reader through the analytical and qualitative techniques using a progressively convincing sequence of arguments. The second half is a series of case studies showing exactly what information Buffett had and what calculations he made when he made his celebrated investments e.g. Coca-Cola and Gillette.Basically this is an excellent practical guide to investing that could make you, too, a billionaire.
