Synopsis
The Warren Buffett Way provided the first look into the strategies that the master uses to pick stocks. A New York Times bestseller, it is a valuable and practical primer on the principles behind the remarkable investment run of the famed oracle of Omaha. In this much-awaited companion to that book, author Robert Hagstrom takes the next logical step, revealing how to profitably manage stocks once you select them. The Warren Buffett Portfolio will help you through the process of building a superior portfolio and managing the stocks going forward. Building a concentrated portfolio is critical for investment success. The Warren Buffett Portfolio introduces the next wave of investment strategy, called focus investing. A comprehensive investment strategy used with spectacular results by Buffett, focus investing directs investors to select a concentrated group of businesses by examining their management and financial positions as compared to their stock prices. A strategy that has historically outperformed the market, focus investing is based on the principle that a shareholder2s return from owning a stock is ultimately determined by the economics of the underlying business. Hagstrom explains in easy-to-understand terms exactly what focus investing is, how it works, and how it can be applied by any investor at any level of experience. He demonstrates how Buffett arranges his stocks in a focus portfolio and reveals why this is as responsible for his incredible returns as the individual stocks he picks. Ultimately, Hagstrom shows how to use this technique to build and manage a portfolio to achieve the best possible results. In order to clearly outline the strategies and philosophies of focus investing, The Warren Buffett Portfolio draws on the collective wisdom of Warren Buffett and other mavens of focus investing, including economist John Maynard Keynes and investors Philip Fisher, Bill Ruane of the Sequoia Fund, Lou Simpson at GEICO, and Charlie Munger, Vice-Chairman of Berkshire Hathaway. Where The Warren Buffett Way provided the necessary tools to pick common stocks, The Warren Buffett Portfolio supplies you with the structure for organizing them into a focus portfolio and the intellectual framework needed to manage it. Together, they offer the ultimate road map to success for individual investors who choose to manage their own portfolios. Advance Praise for The Warren Buffett Portfolio.
