Warren Buffett Book of Investing Wisdom - Robert L. Bloch
PREFACE
Warren Buffett is best known for being one of the world’s most successful investors. Which is why it’s not surprising that his investment strategy has reached mythical proportions. He is, of course, one of the wealthiest people in the world, with a current net worth of almost $90 billion.
Buffett follows several important tenets and an investment philosophy that is widely followed around the globe. So what are the secrets to his success? In this volume I try to pass along, in Buffett’s own words, his very powerful and simple advice. Beyond the financial benefits, included are many wonderful quotes of life principles that will enhance your daily living.
In this updated and expanded version, I try to capture the many facets of this incredible man who is nothing less than a national treasure.
I hope that his words of wisdom are preserved in perpetuity as a reminder of his genius.
Over a decade ago, I had the good fortune to meet Warren Buffett when he became a major shareholder in H&R Block, the tax preparation company my father, Henry Bloch, co-founded in 1955.
Warren and my father have much in common. Both entrepreneurs were born before World War II in the Mid-West and came from middle class families. They are extremely down to earth and have loads of good common sense and honesty. Without a doubt, both enjoy the process more than the proceeds
of business and investing.
Buffett’s investment principles are simple, old, and few.
Much like my father, most of Warren’s success is due to his personality, character, and willingness to learn from and teach others. Of his many outstanding qualities, the role as teacher is the one for which, Warren states, he would most like to be remembered.
Recently I have made Warren my teacher and mentor by reading and re-reading his quotes until they have become a part of me. As the Oracle of Omaha
said, It’s better to hang out with people better than you. Pick out associates whose behavior is better than yours and you’ll drift in that direction.
As investors, we should all strive to drift toward Warren’s direction.
There have been dozens of books published that have attempted to capture the philosophy and personality of Warren Buffett; but words cannot really describe this amazing man . . . except maybe his own words. Buffett does Buffett better than anyone. Since Warren has never written an autobiography, the quotes in this book are the most direct and unfiltered source we have.
After experiencing several bear markets over his lifetime, Warren has learned to stay the course and stick to his investing principles, when other investors were selling or rethinking their strategies. Therefore a proven discipline is an essential element in becoming a successful investor. This book has helped me become a more disciplined investor.
I am confident it will not only help you become more disciplined but also a more RATIONAL, OPTIMISTIC, and LONG-TERM investor. The ultimate act of generosity is Warren Buffett sharing his genius with the individual investor!
—Robert L. Bloch
Note: I am honored that Warren Buffett has given me written permission to use his inspiring words in this volume.
Opportunities abound in America.
In the business world, the rearview mirror is always clearer than the windshield.
American business will do just fine over time. And stocks will do well just as certainly, since their fate is tied to business performance. Periodic setbacks will occur, yes, but investors and managers are in a game heavily stacked in their favor. (The Dow Jones Industrials advanced from 66 to 11,497 in the twentieth century, a staggering 17,320% increase that materialized despite four costly wars, a Great Depression, and many recessions. And don’t forget that shareholders received substantial dividends throughout the century as well.)
