    The Essays of Warren Buffett

    I'm reading this again for the 2nd time. If you haven't done so, I highly suggest picking up a copy.

    Not only is Warren Buffett possibly the worlds greatest investor, but he manages to inject plenty of humor into his discussions of investment strategy.

    I post on GFY so that when people ask me what I do,
    I can tell them that I work with the mentally retarded.

      I believe all the writings are taken from the Berkshire annual reports and various other communications to shareholders.

              Yeah, I've read The Intelligent Investor, and Security Analysis a few years ago. I should probably read them again though.

                I also highly recommend reading Buffett: The Making of an American Capitalist

                      How can you go from reading Warren Buffett to Rich Dad/Poor Dad?

                        The intelligent investor is probably the best book for investors in my opinion. You really cant beat it. Ive pulled an average of 39% gain annually for the past 4 years...Durring the resession. That book is $$$.
                        This is my sig. Flashy, huh?

                              pfft....warren buffett

                              everyone knows that the true lesson in investment strategy is all hidden in this song by JIMMY BUFFETT


                              Nibblin' on sponge cake
                              Watching the sun bake
                              All of those tourists covered with oil
                              Strumming my six-string
                              On my front porch swing
                              Smell those shrimp, they're beginning to boil

                              Wasted away again in Margaritaville
                              Searching for my lost shaker of salt
                              Some people claim that there's a woman to blame
                              But I know
                              It's nobody's fault

                              I don't know the reason
                              I stayed here all season
                              Nothing to show but this brand new tattoo
                              But it's a real beauty
                              A Mexican cutie
                              How it got here I haven't a clue

                              Wasted away again in Margaritaville
                              Searching for my lost shaker of salt
                              Some people claim that there's a woman to blame
                              Now I think
                              Hell, it could be my fault

                              I blew out my flip-flop
                              Stepped on a pop-top
                              Cut my heal had to cruise on back home
                              But there's booze in the blender
                              And soon it will render
                              That frozen concoction that helps me hang on

                              Wasted away again in Margaritaville
                              Searching for my lost shaker of salt
                              Some people claim that there's a woman to blame
                              But I know
                              It's my own damned fault
                              Yes and some people claim that there's a woman to blame
                              And I know
                              It's my owned damned fault
                              Are you down with Sin?
