Mark your calendars: September 29th, 2009 will mark the debut of the long-awaited official biography of Warren Buffett: The Snowball: Warren Buffett and the Business of Life.The list price is $35, but Amazon has it for $23.10, giving it a price/pages ratio of .023. This compares favorably with The Warren Buffett Way, which has a price/pages ratio of .037. Buffett would be pleased with the value proposition here.
The USA Today reports that the author, former insurance industry analyst Alice Schroeder has spent "thousands of hours" with Buffett, and also interviewed his friends extensively, and was given broad access to his records.
There are only a few topics that I'd be able to read 976 pages about without losing interest: I suspect that Mr. Buffett is one of them.
Waiting for the other shoe to drop: The looming credit crisis
Closing Bell: Dow down 7.7%; GE, YHOO, MS fall, PGI, MNT soar

Description: "The Four Filters Invention of Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger" examines each of the basic steps they perform in "framing and making" an investment decision. This book is a focused look into this amazing invention within "Behavioral Finance." The genius of Buffett and Munger's parsimonious four filters process was to "capture all the important stakeholders" in a "multi-variable" equation or formula. Imagine...Products, Enduring Customers, Managers, and Margin-of-Safety... all in one mixed "qual + quant" formula.

Warren Buffet-probably one of the last true visionaries of our time.
An inspiration to those in the world markets.
If, you can't learn from him, try another way of making money!
