Warren Bufett

Warren Buffett is a value investor, however he is definately not a classic Benjamin Graham value investor. Warren Buffett has described himself as 85% Graham 15% Phillip Fischer. I believe that the ratio is more in the opposite direction. Buffett does not look for undervalued companies that are out of favor. Warren Buffett invests in companies that have large moats and dominate their industry. An example of this is Coca Cola which is Warren Buffett’s largest holding. Buffett evalutes whether it is undervalued and if it dominates its industry will consider it a good “value stock”.

I was going to write a little about Warren Bufett’s investment style, however I found a great article on the topic, so I decided to use it instead.

Warren Buffett has not authored any books but there have been many books written about Warren Buffett. The closest thing to a book by Buffett is a collection of his shareholder letters compilied by Lawrence A Cunningham titled The Essays of Warren Buffett: Lessons for Corporate America
