The most comprehensive case study and detailed explanation ever given about Warren Buffett's investment techniques
Buffettology is the first audiobook from someone who, thanks to personal and professional access to Warren Buffett, has been uniquely positioned to learn from the master. Mary Buffett had the privilege -- during her twelve years as his daughter-in-law -- of sharing some of this very private genius' informal discussions of his investing philosophy, and now she reveals her invaluable observations with us.
This is not another cut-and-paste of Warren Buffett's letters to shareholders of Berkshire-Hathaway, nor a biography filled with anecdotes; instead, it is designed to teach you Buffett's extraordinarily successful system of business perspective investing.
Buffettology is a detailed analysis of how Buffett commits capital to an investment only from a business perspective, the strategy that gives him the discipline to exploit the stock market's folly and how he selects companies that will generate extraordinarily reliable results. It answers the questions -- that for years seem to have eluded investment professionals and Buffettologists -- about how Warren Buffett turned $105,000 into $20 billion and became the world's most famous investor and stockpiler.

"Excellent workbook. Although I read the book in english. Goes over the theories of how the "master" himself chooses stocks. Is very insightful, and a great book for those curious how Warren Buffet has chosen stocks over the years. "
— Terrance (4 out of 5 stars)
“ Absolutely the best book ever written on Warren Buffett's investment methods. ”
— Stevin Hoover, Hoover Capital Management“Guidance is given here on researching a company's intrinsic value and management competence, making stock-price downturns into buying opportunities, taking account of inflation taxation considerations, and the tantalizing question of when to sell. Most interesting is the authors' closing rundown of Warren’s specific holdings and how they grew.”
— Publishers Weekly“Provides a sophisticated look at Buffett’s philosophy of value investing and describes the principles behind his strategy of investing from a business perspective.”
— Booklist" Overall kind of simple and blah, maybe pulled a couple tidbits here and there but mainly boring. "
— Jon, 8/25/2012" This is an excellent book for the novice investor. Before you enter the market, be sure to read the philosophy of long-term value investing that put Buffet on top and keeps him there. "
— Dave, 4/29/2012" Nowhere nearly as good as her first book Buffettology, which I rate as a five star read. "
