The Warren Buffett Way by Robert G. Hagstrom
In this book the author wonders why, with so much information about the techniques of Warren Buffett available, do so many investors fail to emulate him.
Robert Hagstrom attempts to point out reasons why Warren Buffett is super-rich and everyone who attempts to copy him do not come close.
In the introduction Howard Marks cites several reasons why Buffett is "different." A couple of these reasons are that Buffett is unemotional, contrarian, and extremely patient.
The book details 9 case studies of Buffett's prior investments. Another chapter details 12 immutable tenets, and another chapter defines the man himself. A whole chapter is dedicated to how he was educated ranging from his early association with Benjamin Graham and Philip Fisher to his partnership with Charlie Munger.

The Warren Buffett WayWe wouldn't be without this resource sat on our bookshelf.
Of course, it doesn't just sit there. It is a book that is oftern referred to.
Here's some real common sense advice for you. If Warren Buffett has made a $90 Billion fortune, and still counting, does it not make sense to take notice of what his tactics are?
Did you answer: yes, or yes?
O.K. We agree. He's got something really special, maybe something that us mere mortals can only dream of. But if only 20% of his wisdom was to rub off on us, that's got be worth it.
Why then do so many "investors" ignore his approach and shoot for the magic silver bullets?
We know, it beats us as well.
Everybodt seems to want that instant gratification. They seem to pulled into believing that if Mr. GRQ can make ten fold gains using his "system"then they can do the same.
Gamble if you want to, but it's best left to horse racing enthusiasts, but not with your retirement savings.
Warren Buffett has shown us all the way. Why would we not follow?
Yes, it's a long term view. But so is saving for your retirement.
Emulate Warren Buffett with 90% of your portfolio and if you are really switched on, make that 100%.
