A great way to start on your path to prosperity.\u201d <br \/>\u2013 Larry Kudlow, economist and host of The Kudlow Report on CNBC.<\/p>\n<p>HOW DID WARREN BUFFETT DO IT?<\/p>\n<p>How did Warren Buffett become the world&#8217;s richest man? The greatest investor of our times? America&#8217;s most successful business executive?\u00a0Jeff Matthews, a 30-year Wall Street veteran and incisive Buffett watcher, travels to the Berkshire Hathaway annual meeting each year to unlock the \u201csecrets\u201d behind Buffett\u2019s success as an investor and CEO.\u00a0Matthews&#8217;s findings: Buffett\u2019s &#8220;secrets&#8221; are in plain sight, and 49 of them are in this book, including new secrets uncovered at the May 3, 2014 annual meeting. Secrets include:<\/p>\n<p>SECRET # 9: READ EVERYTHING YOU CAN.<\/p>\n<p>This is the first advice Warren Buffett gives to aspiring investors, and he isn\u2019t kidding. \u201cBy the age of 10,\u201d he says, \u201cI\u2019d read every book in the Omaha Public Library with the word \u2018finance\u2019 in the title, some twice.\u201d Buffett\u2019s reading habits did not stop there: he still reads thousands of financial statements and annual reports each year, and acquaintances who\u2019ve shared rides on NetJets with Buffett report that he\u2019ll chitchat briefly and then start reading from a stack of material. But Buffett doesn\u2019t steer investors toward any particular investment style. Instead, he advises reading everything possible to find the style that suits you. Says the world\u2019s best investor: \u201cIf it turns you on, it probably will work for you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>SECRET #13: BE OPEN-MINDED. YOU NEVER KNOW WHERE YOU\u2019LL FIND OPPORTUNITY.<\/p>\n<p>Buffett originally spurned a chance to buy a small California-based boxed chocolate maker in the early 1970s. \u201cI don\u2019t think we want to be in the candy business,\u201d he told the caller. At the time, Berkshire was mainly an insurance company. After looking hard at the numbers, however, and with the encouragement of his California-based business partner, Charlie Munger, Buffett changed his mind and they bought See\u2019s Candies for a mere $25 million. It was one of the greatest acquisitions any company would ever make, and it happened because Warren Buffett was open-minded.<\/p>\n<p>SECRET #15: LOOK FOR LOLLAPALOOZA IDEAS.<\/p>\n<p>Buffett and Munger believe another key to investment success is to assiduously search for a few \u201clollapalooza\u201d ideas \u2026 and when you do find them, make a major commitment. \u201cYou really want one that you don\u2019t have to sell,\u201d says Charlie Munger. \u201cThen you can sit on your a__ for 30 years.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>SECRET #30: WORRY ABOUT EVERYTHING\u2014NOBODY ELSE WILL DO IT FOR YOU.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t want to have the chances of having something go wrong to be slim, I wanna have it be none,\u201d says Warren Buffett. \u201cThere\u2019s no way I can assign that to a risk committee.\u201d It is no coincidence that Berkshire Hathaway was one of the few financial companies in the world that required no bailout during the crisis. Says Buffett, \u201cI worry about everything at Berkshire.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>JEFF MATTHEWS HAS A UNIQUE PERSPECTIVE<\/p>\n<p>Jeff Matthews is not like most Buffett watchers, and this book is not like most Buffett books: it is an easy to read, even-handed evaluation of Warren Buffett\u2019s business and investing acumen by an astute, analytical value-based investment manager. <\/p>\n<p> ASIN                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 B004X6ZEOO <br \/> Publisher                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 eBooks on Investing (May 21, 2014) <br \/> Publication date                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 May 21, 2014 <br \/> Language                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 English <br \/> File size                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 4598 KB <br \/> Text-to-Speech                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 Enabled <br \/> Screen Reader                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 Supported <br \/> Enhanced typesetting                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 Enabled <br \/> X-Ray                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 Enabled <br \/> Word Wise                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 Enabled <br \/> Print length                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 198 pages <\/p>\n<div id=\"product-summary\" data-hook=\"cr-insights-widget-summary\" class=\"a-section a-spacing-none\">\n<div class=\"a-section a-spacing-small a-spacing-top-\">\n<h3 data-hook=\"cr-insights-heading-label\" class=\"a-size-base-plus a-color-base a-text-bold\">Customers say<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"a-spacing-small\"><span>Customers find the book informative and enjoyable.
