If there is one book you should read on Warren Buffett, this is it! Instead of analyzing every little detail of Buffett’s life, Jain focuses on Buffett’s investment thesis. Contrary to popular opinion, following naive value strategies is unlikely to turn you into a successful investor (as I have found out for myself). Instead, Jain’s extensive analysis reveals Buffett’s preference for growth companies selling at reasonable prices and managed by outstanding people. More importantly, Jain helps investors to identify such investing opportunities by summarizing the main lessons from each of Buffett’s investments and from Buffett’s writings. From market efficiency to market psychology, from accounting to corporate governance, this book has it all. I highly recommend it to anyone who is serious about investing in the market.

This is a comprehensive book on Buffett’s investment strategies and Berkshire Hathaway, Inc. Many other books have discussed Buffett before but I learned many new things from this book. This book is devoted to Buffett’s investment strategies and does not spend any space on Buffett’s personal life or interesting stories. I enjoyed the discussion on “why” (most books do not discuss “why” in detail) Buffett bought certain companies or stocks. I learned that Buffett’s investments in various insurance businesses, Coca-Cola, American Express, GEICO, Nebraska Furniture Mart, jewelry companies, utilities and several other companies indicate his strong confidence in the management of those companies.
Without fail, Buffett focuses more on company management, more than company fundamentals such as price-to-earnings ratios. For acquisitions, Buffett essentially mentions that he would not buy a company unless excellent management came with the company. Thus, to me, it seems that Buffett’s success in accomplishing Berkshire’s high growth can be attributed to finding excellent managers and giving them freedom to run their units. I rarely see emphasis on management quality in research reports. For my personal investments, I hope to analyze management quality in the future. Because Buffett delegates work to competent managers, he does not spend much time on running the subsidiaries. No wonder, Buffett has plenty of time to think about capital allocation which is his main responsibility.
Although not all that well written, I enjoyed the chapter on M=Monopoly=Money in which I learned why moat (or a bit of monopoly) has been emphasized by Buffett. The Buffalo News example was indeed helpful. In summary, I realized that to be successful in investing, one has to focus on many investing principles, not just one or two. I also realized that I have much to learn. Various chapters introduced me to importance of corporate governance, accounting, share repurchases and other topics which Buffett has discussed at various times in his long career.

This book goes beyond any prior book about Warren Buffett by explaining (with easy to understand dialogue and examples) exactly what Buffett does and how. The reader will discover both sides of Buffet’s investment style – the classical Graham value approach as well as the focus on growth and quality of management. Prior authors essentially ignored the importance of growth to accomplish high returns. More importantly, Prem Jain uses Buffett’s investment technique to illustrate how everyone should approach investing. This is a terrific book for both the novice as well as any advanced investor.

“Beyond Value” shows how Warren Buffett uses his investment principles to make investment decisions. This book chronicles Buffett’s major purchases and sales of businesses and shows how Buffett applied his principles in each instance. Though Buffett’s principles are available in his shareholder letters, articles and media interviews and his investment decisions are well known, this is the first book, to my knowledge, which so directly links his investment tenets to specific investment decisions.
In addition, Prem Jain explains how to use Buffetts approach in day to day investing. A great book for anybody interested in stock market investments and a must read for any “Buffetologist”.

After having read a lot of books on this topic, have to say Jain’s book is really a great book that critically examines Buffett’s philosophy and strategy. It has much more depth than other books on the subject with critiques and praises about Buffett’s strategy. The book is a more an academic and open-ended explanation of Buffett’s investment style than a “how to” book, which separates it from other books on the topic. It won’t tell you WHAT to invest in, but teach you HOW to become a better investor. Its a GREAT read. I highly recommend to anyone interested in the stock investing!!
