Mary Buffett and David Clark clearly outline Warren Buffett's strategies in a way that will appeal to newcomers and seasoned Buffettologists alike. Inspired by the seminal work of Buffett's mentor, Benjamin Graham ( The Interpretation of Financial Statements, 1937), this book presents Buffett's interpretation of financial statements with anecdotes and quotes from the master investor himself.

Potential investors will discover:

  • Buffett's time-tested dos and don'ts for interpreting an income statement and balance sheet
  • Why high research and development costs can kill a great business
  • How much debt Buffett thinks a company can carry before it becomes too dangerous to touch
  • The financial ratios and calculations that Buffett uses to identify the company with a durable competitive advantage - which he believes makes for the winning long-term investment
  • How Buffett uses financial statements to value a company
  • What kinds of companies Warren stays away from no matter how cheap their selling price

    Once audiences complete and master Buffett's simple financial calculations and methods for interpreting a company's financial statement, they will be well on their way to identifying which companies are going to be tomorrow's winners - and which will be the losers that should be avoided at all costs.

    Destined to become a classic in the world of investment books, Warren Buffett and the Interpretation of Financial Statements is the perfect companion volume to The New Buffettology and The Tao of Warren Buffett.

    This is how "how to" books should be written -- a guide to accomplishing a task, pointing out signposts signaling great (or mediocre) investing opportunities.

    This simple book put the majority of "The Little Book" series to shame.

    You probably won't enjoy this book, and if you know much about investing it won't be worth much. However, it does a good job explaining the basics of understanding a bussiness and it's value, as well as many of the traps that befall people not used to reading balance sheets.

    Covers the basics of valuation

    This is a great book to know what the significance of the numbers on the 10K are. The author tells you how to do the calculations and why their significant. Very informative.

    Exceptional!!!

    Why is this not the full book? You can tell because it skips chapters. However, this is a new perspective for interpreting financial statements that you don't get from simply reading a "how to".

    New perspective when looking at financials. Not full book though
