Take the Stairs: 7 Steps to Achieving True Success
Take the Stairs: 7 Steps to Achieving True Success

Review:Started reading and couldn't put it down. Read it on my kindle. 12 hours and 14 pages of notes later, I started back through it again.

I will be buying and handing out this book out to several of my current and future clients and friends. Read more

And Why Things Are Better Than You Think - Ten Reasons We're Wrong About The World

Review:This book paints a whole new picture of the developing countries of the world, and it is a very hopeful picture. I read this book as part of a discussion group. There was plenty to discuss in it. It is a really good book to read. Read more

The Great Crash 1929
The Great Crash 1929

Review:We are told over and over that history repeats itself.
Apparently, are so called leaders haven't learned very much.
This book is a real window into what is coming.

Our Kids: The American Dream in Crisis
Our Kids: The American Dream in Crisis

Review:This book is an eye-opening documentary written for lay people. If I were born today, I am not sure I would be able to achieve the success in life I have had. My parents were incredibly poor, but the education I received laid the foundation for my future success. Robert Putnam's book shows how that that type of education, including the associated extracurricular activities that were readily available, is just not there for most poor kids today. It is quite humbling to realize that I am not a... Read more

Berkshire Hathaway Letters to Shareholders, 2017
Berkshire Hathaway Letters to Shareholders, 2017

Review:Overall with a dash of accounting and finance lectures thrown in for good measure the book is a good basis to see what Buffett thinks. Now one could get most of this from Berkshires website but the oldest reports (which aren't online) have some of the best insights into how the man thinks and make for a good overall read. Read more

Uncommon Sense for the Thoughtful Investor (Columbia Business School Publishing)

Review:Several points are new to me. It makes me consider to look at value investing. I am half way through the book, it is more like mind setting for investing instead of solid calculation or number boundary to refer to. I am new in stock market. It is good for me to know what are the things I need be aware. Read more

Foreword by Warren Buffett (Security Analysis Prior Editions)
Foreword by Warren Buffett (Security Analysis Prior Editions)

Review:As other reviewers have pointed out, this (sixth) edition of Security Analysis includes a reprint of the popular 1940 edition (Warren Buffett's favorite), minus some chapters. The deleted chapters, which can be found in the CD that accompanies the book, make room for (new) general introductory remarks to this edition and also to the eight major parts of the book, written by a variety of modern commentators. If all you really want is the 1940 edition, then the better choice for you is probably ... Read more
