Learn How Warren Buffett Consistently Beats Wall Street to the Best Stocks--and What He Plans Next
Warren Buffett is the only billionaire in history to amass his fortune entirely through shrewd investing. And while many books have chronicled Buffett's story, none have examined his legendary value investing techniques--where he looks, what he looks for, and what signals tell him it's time to buy.
How to Pick Stocks Like Warren Buffett shows, step by profitable step, how any investor can follow Buffett's path and find consistent bargains regardless of the overall market. Value investing practitioner and chronicler Timothy Vick packs the book with:
Comprehensive value investing tools and information

Praise for How to Pick Stocks Like Warren Buffett
"This is a must read for anyone wanting to learn the investing techniques of Warren Buffett."--Mary Buffett, Author, Buffettology
"I have seen no trend toward value investing in the 35 years I've practiced it. There seems to be some perverse human characteristic that likes to make easy things difficult."
--Warren Buffett
Warren Buffett is widely considered history¿s greatest investor. This fascinating man--humorous and homespun on the outside, serious and ready for battle on the inside--would have the world believe his success was as simple as adding 2 + 2. But the truth is entirely different. As How to Pick Stocks Like Warren Buffett reveals, Buffett has a clear and consistent set of investment rules and methods that have brought him and his investors unparalleled good fortune. These tools--including which performance numbers Buffett considers most critical, strategies he employs to take advantage of consistently irrational markets, management attitudes that make him look favorably on a situation, and more--are, for the first time, analyzed with the attention to detail investors require.
The resulting book is nothing less than a step-by-step rulebook for emulating Buffett's startling investment successes.
"What doesn't work is when you start doing things you don't understand or because they worked last week for somebody else. The dumbest reason in the world to buy a stock is because it's going up."
