Where do you want to be in 5yrs, 10 yrs? This is typical question we ask ourselves over some time to streamline our goals and progress in life. But can you be believe, it's been 50years since Mr. Buffett has started guiding his crewmen in the Berkshire Hathaway. When I come across about this fact in the news few months back, I was intrigued and wanted to know more about the “Sage of Omaha" and his juggernaut Berkshire Hathaway still continuing to advance/strive forward.
This interest in me, made me to look for books about him in Bookshelves. Of course there are lots of books about him in the market, but happened to get this second hand book for a cheap price in a local store. After buying this book, I kept it without reading for a long time. This might be because of my surreal mind set suffering from fiction infestation from the likes of John Grisham, Suzanne Collins, Veronica Roth etc.
Since the Author is a finance columnist he has the tendency to follow Mr.Market and Mr. Buffett by nature, which helped him to relate and unearth the hidden jewels about the Oracle.
Without any further spoilers, I would highly recommend this book to anyone those who want to know more about Buffett’s lifestyle, interests and background. You get to know about his unique method of adapting “Value Investing based on Intrinsic Value" from his famous teacher Benjamin Graham. I was introduced to Benjamin Graham and his famous book “The Intelligent Investor" (Which is still in my “Want to Read" bookshelf) by my friend few years book.
Being from Non-Financial/Economic background, often at times I was fighting and dragging me skimming few stanzas without trying much to understand the context which I hope might be fixed during my re-reading plan.
Being from India, I was captivated by the name “Ajith Jain" an only Indian Origin employee of Berkshire Hathaway ever mentioned in this book, who happened to introduce the Super-Cats Insurance. Well you might ask, what is Super-Cats Insurance? I suggest why don’t you look up online.. J
