"This is the best book on Buffett in years. Compelling,
penetrating, and highly valuable."
-Lawrence Kudlow, host, CNBC's Kudlow and Company
"The author takes a contrarian - or at least mildly dissenting -
view of Mr. Buffett's investing acumen. . . Mr. Janjigian also
sheds light on Mr. Buffett's magic. Mr. Buffett has two large
advantages that the average investor doesn't have, advantages that
are often overlooked by those who try to mimic him."
-The Wall Street Journal
"This is exactly what has been missing from the litany of Buffett
books. Vahan's razor sharp arguments make this book a unique- and
important- work for every Buffett friend or foe."
-Barbara Marcin, portfolio manager, Gabelli Blue Chip Value Fund
"Clear and compelling."
-Publishers Weekly

With an estimated net worth of $62 billion, businessman/philanthropist Buffett is currently ranked first in Forbes's annual "World's Billionaires" listing. Janjigian (Forbes Investors Advisory Inst.; Forbes Stock Market Course) has written an intriguing analysis of his investment strategies, showing how small-time investors, too, can put these strategies to use. Janjigian emphasizes that although Buffett has made some mistakes in his investment decisions, "there is one important characteristic that sets [him] apart from so many other investors. He has demonstrated an incredible knack for turning what appeared to be obvious mistakes into eventual successes." Janjigian also discusses Berkshire Hathaway, where shareholder Buffett serves as CEO. Of particular value is the author's analysis of the companies that Berkshire (and Buffett) buy. At the end of each chapter, "key takeaways" summarize specific investment advice. Janjigian's book will appeal to the individual investor and is recommended for public libraries.--Lucy Heckman, St. John's Univ. Lib., Jamaica, NY Copyright 2008 Reed Business Information.
