The Snowball by Alice Schroeder Pdf

Shortlisted for the Financial Times and Goldman Sachs Business Book of the Year Prize 2008 The Snowball is the first and will be the only biography of the world's richest man, Warren Buffett, written with his full cooperation and collaboration. Combining a unique blend of "The Sage of Omaha's" business savvy, life story and philosophy, The Snowball is essential reading for anyone wishing to discover and replicate the secrets of his business and life success. Warren Buffett is arguably the world's greatest investor. Even as a child he was fascinated by the concept of risk and probability, setting up his first business at the age of six. In 1964 he bought struggling Massachusetts textile firm Berkshire Hathaway and grew it to be the 12th largest corporation in the US purely through the exercise of sound investing principles - a feat never equalled in the annals of business. Despite an estimated net worth of around US$62 billion, Buffett leads an intriguingly frugal life taking home a salary of only £50,000 a year. His only indulgence is a private jet, an extravagance he wryly acknowledges by calling it "The Indefensible". In 2006, he made the largest charitable donation on record, with most of it going to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. The Snowball provides a comprehensive, richly detailed insight one of the world's most extraordinary and much loved public figures.

Warren Buffett by Ayano Morio Pdf

Jetzt erscheint erstmals eine Warren Buffett-Biographie in Comic-Form. Sie zeichnet das Leben von Buffett nach - angefangen bei seiner frühen Kindheit bis hin zu seinem kometenhaften Aufstieg als legendärer Investor. Buffett wurde am 30. August 1930 - zur Zeit der Weltwirtschaftskrise - geboren. Diese Zeit der Entbehrungen prägte ihn nachhaltig, und schon als Kind war es sein Ziel, reich zu werden. Bereits im Alter von 6 Jahren erwachte Buffetts Geschäftssinn - er verkaufte Coca Cola mit einem Cent Gewinn pro Flasche; mit 13 trug er für 500 Kunden die Washington Post und The Times Herald aus; mit 14 verdiente er bereits 175 Dollar pro Woche - das war 1944 der Durchschnittsverdienst eines 25-jährigen. Im Alter von 19 Jahren las Buffett "The Intelligent Investor" von Benjamin Graham und beschloss, mehr über Wertpapieranalyse zu lernen. Zwei Jahre besuchte er die Wharton Business School; seinen Abschluss machte er an der Columbia University School of Business in Nebraska, unter Professor Benjamin Graham, der ihn später als Analyst bei Graham-Newman einstellte. Buffett entwickelte die Theorien seines Lehrers Graham weiter und suchte neue Herausforderungen: Mit 26 war er Chef von drei Unternehmen und verwaltete mehrere Millionen Dollar. In den Folgejahren kauft Buffett AMEX, Amerikas marktführendes Kreditkarten-Unternehmen, bringt Berkshire Hathaway wieder auf Erfolgskurs, rettet GEICO, den KFZ-Versicherer, den er als Student analysierte und der Benjamin Graham zu seinen Großaktionären zählt, und er rettet Salomon Brothers aus der Krise, und, und, und... Aber lesen Sie hier selbst alles über "das Orakel von Omaha"! Verschaffen Sie sich einen Einblick in die Denkweise dieses zweifellos größten Investors aller Zeiten und lernen Sie mehr über seine sieben goldenen Erfolgsregeln, wie z.B.: Entscheide dich für Unternehmen, die leicht zu verstehen sind. (Investiere nie in Unternehmen, die du nicht verstehst!). Entscheide dich für Unternehmen mit einer langfristig stabilen Performance. Entscheide dich für Unternehmen mit einer vielversprechenden Zukunft. Freuen Sie sich auf eine leichte, unterhaltsame und höchst informative Lektüre. Dieses wunderschön illustrierte Comic-Buch wurde von der bekannten japanischen Künstlerin Ayano Morio gezeichnet. Es wurde aus dem Japanischen ins Englische übersetzt und ist Wileys erstes Finanz-Comicbuch.

Warren Buffett: A Biography by Joseph Taglieri Pdf

ABOUT THE BOOK If you picture the life and home of one of the world's richest, most powerful men with fifteen bedrooms and a room devoted to swimming in gold (a la Scrooge McDuck) you’ll be shocked with self-made billionaire Warren Buffett. The 81-year-old man lives a modest life in same the three-bedroom home he bought in Dundee, Nebraska in 1958 with his late wife Susan. Never one for extravagance, Buffett always preferred a low key life, both at home and at work, and earlier in his life, at school. His high school year book photo was captioned “likes math, future stock broker” and couldn't have been a better predictor. After college and apprenticeships, Buffett became an investment icon. His flagship investment, Berkshire Hathaway, has become an industry leader for how to choose stocks that have longevity, similar to Buffett himself. Buffett has made significant contributions to the way investments were made on Wall Street by deciding early on to look at the company structure and not just the balance sheets. His unique perspective and insight has earned him the much deserved title “Oracal of Omaha.” Buffett has always been a philanthropist. In college he belonged to the fraternity Alpha Sigma Phi, like his father before him, whose core mission is, “Silence, purity, charity, honor, and patriotism.” During the 1980s, Buffett's company, Berkshire Hathaway, devised a plan to allow shareholders to allocate funds to their particular charities. Although immensely popular, the program came to a halt after members of a subsidiary, The Pampered Chef, felt they were discriminated against because of the donations Buffett made to pro-choice groups. In 2006 Buffett shocked the world when he announced that he would be leaving the majority of his vast fortune to the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation and not to his family members. Buffett, Gates, and Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, infamously signed the “Gates-Buffett Giving Pledge” that stated each pledged at least half of their earnings to charities. Also in 2006, Buffet became enraged when his youngest son's adopted daughter, Nicole, appeared in a documentary called “The One Percent,” about growing up in households with money, produced by heir to the Johnson and Johnson fortune, Jamie Johnson. He wrote the 28 year-old Nicole and said, "I have not emotionally or legally adopted you as a grandchild, nor have the rest of my family adopted you as a niece or a cousin,” effectively removing her from his family unit. Buffett, however, is not free of controversy in his business life either. His first bump with regulators was in 1973 over the perceived notion that he and long time business partner Charlie Munger caused a takeover failure of Wesco Financial. The Security Exchange Commission (SEC) investigated the stock buy up of Wesco shares by the firm Blue Chip, which Buffett owned a majority stake in, and determined that they had sufficient evidence to bring charges of stock price manipulation. Blue Chip neither denied nor confirmed the allegations but settled for $115,000 which was paid out to Wesco shareholders who might have been slighted by their actions. EXCERPT FROM THE BOOK Buffett was born on August 30, 1930 in Omaha, Nebraska to Howard and Lelia Buffett. He was the couple’s middle child and only son. Howard Buffett was the son of grocery store owners, but after he was unable to get a job in the family business, he started his own brokerage firm. While Howard ran his investment business he also served on the Omaha Board of Education for four years and then ran for the US House of Representatives. He was elected and relocated the family to Washington, DC. There, Warren attended public schools and graduated from Woodrow Wilson High in 1947, five years later. He was only seventeen years old.

Of Permanent Value by Andrew Kilpatrick Pdf

The first chapter makes the case that Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway, although based in Omaha, has emerged as a truly international company. Chapter 2 explores Buffett's extraordinary gift of the bulk of his fortune to the Gates Foundation. Chapter 3 reveals what Gates gave Buffett as a thank you (surprisingly, Gates gave Buffett a 1776 first edition of Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations). And Chapter 4 tells of Buffett's purchase of Iscar, the precision tool company in Israel, and tracks BUffett's visit to Israel to visit Iscar's facilities and to meet with the Israeli prime minister. Also, there are chapters (among the 335) about Buffett's wedding on his 76th birthday, Berkshire's stock price surpassing $100,000 and Berkshire's bid to bail out the Lloyd's of London "Names." The fully revised book has more than 1,200 photos. The back cover photo is of Buffett and NBA's LeBron James.--Amazon.com

Buffett by Roger Lowenstein Pdf

Starting from scratch, simply by picking stocks and companies for investment, Warren Buffett amassed an astonishing fortune - a net worth of $64 billion and counting. His awesome investment record has made him a cult figure popularly known for his seeming contradictions: a billionaire with a modest lifestyle, a phenomenally successful investor who eschews the revolving-door trading of modern Wall Street, a brilliant dealmaker who cultivates a homespun aura. Journalist Roger Lowenstein draws on three years of unprecedented access to Buffett's family, friends and colleagues to provide this definitive inside account of the life and career of this American original. He explains Buffett's investment strategy - a long-term philosophy grounded in buying stock in companies that are undervalued on the market and hanging on until their worth invariably surfaces - and shows how it is a reflection of the character of the man himself. And in a brand new afterword, in the wake of the news that Buffett has decided to give the bulk of his fortune to the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation, Lowenstein reflects on the largest charitable donation in American history.

Warren Buffett by Daniel Jones Pdf

Warren Buffett was born on August 30, 1930, to Howard and Leila Buffett in Omaha Nebraska. Warren came from a prestigious line of Buffetts that had resided in Omaha for seven consecutive generations. Warren's grandfather operated a grocery store starting in 1869, and Warren's father dabbled in stocks. Because Howard Buffett was a stockbroker and congressman, Warren was saturated with financial knowledge and terms from a young age. A stay-at-home mom, Leila provided two siblings for Buffett; both were girls. Many friends of Warren fondly recall his ability to compute huge columns of numbers with only his mind. Coupling this with Warren's home environment, family and friends knew it was only a matter of time before Warren would delve into the world of financial risk and success. Warren exhibited his entrepreneurial prowess at the age of six when he bought six cartons of Coca-Cola from his grandpa at the price of twenty-five cents apiece and promptly sold the individual bottles for five cents, making a five-cent profit on every carton. As the world encouraged children to play on the playground or to go have fun, Warren busied himself in making money and testing the murky waters of risk. Warren's life took a dramatic turn when he was five, however. After his father came home one night and announced to the family that the bank where he was employed was closing, Warren's family became very poor. The infamous Great Depression had snaked its way to Nebraska, devastating anything in its path. Warren's grandfather helped Warren's father out by sending him money each month, but it was a while before Howard was employed again.
