INVESTING PRINCIPLES FROM THE MASTER Ignore Sound Bites That Rattle Markets Treat Market Pessimism as Your Friend Do the Little Things Right Protect Your Capital When the Facts Turn Upside Down Rely on CEOs Who Nurture Healthy Corporate Cultures Remember That Large, Unfathomable Derivatives Are Still Financial Weapons of Mass Destruction Seek Simplicity and Candor Each year pundits, reporters and financial analysts search for clues in Warren Buffetts shareholder letter after it is released on the Internet. They sift through Buffetts reports, looking for predictions on the direction of the economy and his company, Berkshire Hathaway. In 2009, they misread Buffetts tea leaves and misled readers about Buffetts true understanding of economic recovery. In Buffetts Bites, The Essential Investors Guide to Warren Buffetts Shareholder Letters, L.J. Rittenhouse sets the record straight. She shows readers how to find the real gold in Buffetts communications: his economic principles. Rated A+ by Buffett for saying the most with the fewest number of words, Buffetts Bites is essential reading for all who want to protect their wealth from future financial devastation. It reveals how to avoid entitlement-driven CEOs and find leaders who steward investor capital. Berkshires eye-popping results - a 45-year book value compounded increase of 434,057 percent versus only 5,430 percent for the S&P 500 - prove that Buffetts capital allocation strategy is a winning formula. Still, many capitalists either wont or cant hear his ideas. Could this techno-phobic, genial host of the Berkshire annual meeting be a revolutionary? Is this why he calls his meeting the Woodstock of Capitalism? Rittenhouse shows how to read between the lines of Buffetts letters and find a man who wants to be regarded less for his wealth and more for the way he made it.
