The Deals of Warren Buffett, Volume 1: The First $100M

De: Glen Arnold

Narrado por: Jason Belvill

It took the world's greatest investor, Warren Buffett, nearly four decades to make his first $100M. The Deals of Warren Buffett, Volume 1 charts the series of investments that made up that journey.

In revealing detail, and with a lucid descriptive style, experienced author and investor Glen Arnold explains Buffett's thinking behind these investment deals and shows how his cumulative returns compounded his wealth over time.

In this formative period, from 1941-78, Buffett developed and honed the investment philosophy that would lead him to become so successful as his career progressed. But it was not all plain sailing - Buffett made mistakes along the way - and Arnold shows how Buffett learned through success and failure how to select companies worth backing. Arnold also includes insightful "learning points" at the end of each chapter, which reveal how investors can learn from the craft of Warren Buffett to improve their own investing.

Investments featured in this first volume include: GEICO, American Express, Disney, Berkshire Hathaway, See's Candies, and The Washington Post.

Great deal by deal details

Provides great insight into how he built his business brick by brick and the people who helped him do it

Must read for every investor

Great book with plenty of examples of investing and great lessons. Also quick read as audio

Story was great but narration was boring

The content in this book was fantastic. It filled many gaps in my knowledge base from the multiple interviews I have heard about Buffett from himself and others. Unfortunately the narration sounds like a computer and is not interesting at all. You must really be focused on learning the content to enjoy this book because the voice reading it to you does not help at all. I recently finished the book King Icahn and the narrator was fantastic. So I may be slightly biased since I have been listening to books with really talented people reading them to me.

Great read if you like Warren Buffett

Great book if you are interested in the early years of Warren Buffett and his struggles as well as how he came through to have HUGE successes.

Little history

If you want to know more about Warren Buffet this book is good. Also some interesting points on investing. A book that could be very useful in making the right decision on investments. Would recommend.

Is this AI?

Great writing but the narrator CAN’T READ to save his life. Emphasized wrong words, mispronounces a ton.

Not Well Read

He reads stat tables line by line… with about 20 lines and four rows. “1972: net asset value: xx million. Purchase price: xx million. 1973: net asset…” you get the idea.

Useful context in the deals though so not all a loss. This would be better to have the book than to listen to it.

Good story, impossibly horrible narrating.

Narration was horrible. our 8-year old reads with more inflection. Maybe just buy the book.
