For those of you who have had their interest piqued by my previous post on Warren Buffett, check out this video where he is being intereviewed by Charlie Rose. This guy fascinates me - I am learning a lot from his attitude and reasoning.

Just finished reading The Snowball:  Warren Buffett and the Business of Life, the mammoth tome on Warren Buffett.  The author strips away all the mystery surrounding this intriguing persona to reveal the pure genius of the man.  She gives a thorough history of both his personal as well as business life and also goes into the heavy toll that his family have borne for his dedication to business and investing. To any student of business or investing the lessons to take away from this book are incredible.  The prudent value system that guides his every decision, as well as his propensity to consider honesty and openness whilst at the same time pushing for a hard deal will benefit any serious student of business. Some of the insights and dealongs with previous busts and bailouts hark prophetic to our time and current crisis.
