5.0 out of 5 stars Stock Picking Made Easy, October 21, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: J.K. Lasser's Pick Stocks Like Warren Buffett (Paperback)

I just started investing seriously a couple of years ago, and am still learning. Mr. Boroson's book was invaluable to me. It contained a lot of concise, well-thought-out advice that was immediately relevent to today's uncertain investment climate. Most books about investing I've read are either too simple, or so complicated that you need to be Warren Buffet himself to understand them. I liked Mr. Boroson's book because it helped me think through decisions more clearly without trying to impress me with a lot of complicated terms and ideas that won't help me build a winning portfolio. I'm already putting some of Mr. Boroson's strategies to work!

5.0 out of 5 stars Good sense with good humor, December 1, 2001

This review is from: J.K. Lasser's Pick Stocks Like Warren Buffett (Paperback)

This is the best book yet for small investors. Warren Boroson's previous advice made it possible for me to take early retirement. Now, he takes us hand-in-hand with the "big guys" and shows us the paths to take and to avoid through today's volatile market. Good sense with good humor. A "must read."

Not a bad book. You can get the condensed wisdom off of internet articles. At some point the book makes the point the the reader is not Buffett and cannot do what Buffett does. If you want to be invested like Buffett then by Buffett's stock. I guess I needed to buy the book for it to tell me that.
