"i'm going to buy hamburgers the rest of my life"
The two great books on Buffett that currently exist are as follows:
Buffett: The Making of an American Capitalist by Roger Lowenstein
The Snowball: Warren Buffett and the Business of Life by Alice Schroeder
After using Audible to listen to them both, we then went back and started the books again. But on the second go we had a goal in mind. Pick out the characteristics that make up the world's greatest investor.
We pinpointed 11 characteristics. If you want to be a better investor and also want to be better at general life - see what you can take from the grand masters characteristics and implement.
(o) A non-stop learning machine. (o) Valued loyalty more than anything.
(o) His way of connecting to people is as a teacher. (o) Love of crisp, simple rules.
(o) Does anything not to make a withdrawal from the bank of reputation.
(o) Extreme honesty. (o) Creature of habit. (o) Bathtub memory.
(o) Certain of himself (inner scorecard). (o) Rational temperament. (o) Boyish sense of fun.
