What People Are Saying
More Praise
Patrick O'Shaughnessy: "Buffet is one of the best writers in the history of investing; his mastery of the analogy as a means to explain complex concepts is without parallel. I’ve read every one of his shareholder letters cover to cover, but this sequential compilation by Lawrence Cunningham is the best way to read Buffett’s endless points of wisdom." One of the books Bill Ackman asked his newly-hired analyst to read before joining Pershing Square.
