Greatest Investment:
Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway (249 pages, $19.95 hardcover,
2001, ISBN 047141123X), by Robert P. Miles, published by John Wiley &
Sons.
Berkshire Hathaway, an investment vehicle publicly traded on the NYSE,
is the hub of ultra-successful investor Warren Buffett's financial
empire. Though it has consistently outperformed the S&P for the past
two decades and achieved double-digit performance, little has been written
about this relatively obscure company. What is the secret behind this phenomenal
success? In this book, the author, an acknowledged expert, provides complete
answers to this question, while he provides valuable guidance on how to
follow Warren Buffett's example and become a more successful investor.
