Even Buffett Isn’t Perfect: What You Can—and Can’t—Learn from the World’s Greatest Investor

In his introduction, Janjigian notes that “to become a successful investor you must be an educated investor, and the best place to start is by examining Buffett’s strategies.” The author—vice president and executive director of the Forbes Investors Advisory Institute—doggedly follows Buffett’s investment trail, scrutinizing the successes and failures of the world’s pre-eminent investment celebrity. Janjigian’s readable, engaging style carries the reader painlessly through the fundamentals and finer points of investing, assaying Buffett’s buying strategies and research methods, while clarifying investment terms and summarizing key points. Although frankly admiring, Janjigian is never fawning and takes pains to make his material clear and compelling; his book is a rounded evaluation of the investment guru’s strategies and a useful primer for business neophytes.
