Editorial Review:
"Simply the most important new stock book of the 1990s, to date. Buy it and read it." —Kenneth L. Fisher Forbes The runaway bestseller—updated with new material included for the first time! "The Warren Buffett Way outlines his career and presents examples of how his investment techniques and methods evolved and the important individuals in that process. It also details the key investment decisions that produced his unmatched record of performance." —from the Foreword by Peter S. Lynch Bestselling author, One Up on Wall Street and Beating the Street ". . . an extraordinarily useful account of the methods of an investor held by many to be the world's greatest." —The Wall Street Journal "Robert Hagstrom presents an in-depth examination of Warren Buffett's strategies, and the 'how and why' behind his selection of each of the major securities that have contributed to his remarkable record of success. His 'homespun' wisdom and philosophy are also part of this comprehensive, interesting, and readable book." —John C. Bogle Chairman, The Vanguard Group "It's first rate. Buffett gets a lot of attention for what he preaches, but nobody has described what he practices better than Hagstrom. Here is the lowdown on every major stock he ever bought and why he bought it. Fascinating. You could even try this at home." —John Rothchild Financial columnist Time magazine

Very Good Insight On Buffett's Investment Strategy  2008-12-02
Excellent book for those interested in learning how Warren Buffett values stocks and businesses. I really learned quite a bit for the first read now I'm reading it a second time to pick up on what I might have missed!
Excellent book!
Good thoughts, mediocre writing  2008-11-27
I've had this book sitting on my shelf for a while. Purchased it then never got around to reading it. Finally, in the midst of this horrific market, I decided to give it a read, hoping for a fresh perspective.
The advice given in the book and the summary of Mr. Buffett's investing philosophy is valuable. Sound ideas that I've already started putting to use in setting myself up to recover from this abyss we find ourselves in these days. Problem is, the books writing is mediocre at best. The organization and style of writing make the book a difficult read to stick with.
Surprisingly, the best writing in the book, is his afterward where he reflects on how Buffett's philosophy has impacted his own investing strategies and career. He admits that using Buffett's philosophy straight may not be the best for the new economy, but that it can be applied to technology stocks, among others, with minor modification successfully. His original fund, which debuted, "coincidentally", with the first edition of this book, performed very poorly. He modified his investing philosophy after the first two years to include a broader range of funds.
There are probably better books on Buffett.
This Way is Compatible with His Way 2008-10-16
Book review of The Warren Buffett Way
As I have been exploring economics from a variety of perspectives, it seemed only natural to read a book about one of the greatest investors of our time. I was pleasantly surprised by this book to learn that investing well was a rational and intelligent process and not just random chance.
Obviously, there are those who dispute that statement but I believe that the weight of Mr. Buffett's success is a powerful argument against them. I also believe that his value investing strategy is highly compatible with the Christian life. As his recent buying spree proves, value investing helps out companies, and consequently keeps thousands of people employed, when they are down and it punishes investors that artificially raise stock prices by selling companies that get too expensive. This process of buying at undervalued points and selling at overvalued points moderates the growth of a company, consequently reducing instability and maintaining a rational environment for the securities market. Given the recent market plummet, I'd rather let billionaires keep the market afloat than my tax dollars.

Amidst the current market chaos, this book is more relevant than ever. Robert Hagstrom offers a largely historical overview of Warren Buffets exploits in the market over the past several decades - both good and bad ones, attempting to explain the guiding principles for each investment.
As you make your way through the book, it doesn't take long to grasp the recurring themes of value investing, good management, and competence in the area you invest in. The discussion on index, passive, and active investment strategies was especially interesting in the context of speculative vs. ownership viewpoints.
I have to admit, I've stayed away from the stock market, largely due to my own general ignorance of all the variables - even though I've taken courses, read and listened to books on strategies and numerous case studies. At times I've wondered if I was just being too risk averse for my own good, but I'm glad I've not given in because what implicitly held be back is exactly what Warren Buffet warns against: speculative investment.
Great read and highly recommended. I'm looking forward to learning more about Warren Buffet and Berkshire Hathaway.
Wasnt bad 2008-09-09
It wasnt a bad book and it didnt waste my time. But I want more meat from the author. More specifics on what makes this man tick would be appreciated. Its not bad - read it if you want to begin a discussion on Buffett. Don't waste your time if you already know something about Buffett.
