CREATING A PORTFOLIO LIKE WARREN BUFFETT

Through timely, intelligent investing, Warren Buffett has accrued a net worth of approximately $45 billion, making him the perfect role model for budding investors. However, his incredible success and the epic scope of his acquisitions can make him an intimidating mentor. But just because most investors can′t afford to buy companies like GEICO and See′s Candies outright doesn′t mean that you can′t apply and benefit from the same rules and strategies that Buffett has successfully employed for decades.

In Creating a Portfolio Like Warren Buffett: A High Return Investment Strategy, investment expert and Buffett disciple Jeeva Ramaswamy breaks down the rules of stock trading that made Buffett a multibillionaire so that you, too, can apply his winning ways to building your own wealth. Highlighting actual trades that Buffett successfully executed, as well as Ramaswamy′s own experiences investing using principles established by Buffett, the book clearly explains everything you need to know to make intelligent investments, including when and how to exit a trade.

Packed with eighteen Stock Research Checklists that help you assess stocks from all angles from dividends to management and from inventory to debt this book has everything you need to make smart, informed decisions you can have confidence in. While you might think that you understand the cardinal rule of investing, "buy low and sell high," most investors find themselves forced to do the exact opposite. The key to success is gathering as much information as possible about the companies you are interested in, and having the patience to only buy when their value is down.

Ramaswamy has studied, distilled, and practiced the teachings of Warren Buffett for years with excellent results, and with this book in hand, you have everything you need to capitalize on the market savvy of one of the greatest investors of all time.
